 ### Configure
 
-You can extend the `plugin:erb/recommended` config that will enable the ERB processor on all `.js.erb` files.
+Starting of v9 ESLint provides a [new flat config format](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files-new) (`eslint.config.js`). Also see the [configuration migration guide](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/migration-guide). Use it as follows and it will automatically lint all your `.js.erb` files:
+
+```js
+// eslint.config.js
+import erb from "eslint-plugin-erb";
+
+export default [
+  // if you are using VSCode, don't forget to put
+  // "eslint.experimental.useFlatConfig": true
+  // in your settings.json
+  erb.configs.recommended,
+  {
+    // your other configuration options
+  }
+];

+
+With this variant you have a bit more control over what is going on, e.g. you could name your files `.js.special-erb` and still lint them (if they contain JS and ERB syntax).

+import erb from "eslint-plugin-erb";
