eslint-config-standard uses the following rule for semicolons:

"semi": [2, "never"]

The documentation for the rule lists its options:

  • "always" (default) requires semicolons at the end of statements
  • "never" disallows semicolons as the end of statements (except to disambiguate statements beginning with [, (, /, +, or -

To overide the rule, you could modify your .eslintrc to always require semicolons:

{
    "extends": "standard",
    "rules": {
        "semi": [2, "always"]
    }
}

Or to disable the rule:

{
    "extends": "standard",
    "rules": {
        "semi": 0
    }
}
