How can I use globally installed Stylelint plugins in Stylelint CLI?

As of stylelint@9.7.0, you can reference a globally installed plugin in the same way as you would a locally installed one.

For example:

npm i -g stylelint
npm i -g stylelint-selector-no-empty

Then in your configuration object e.g. your .stylelintrc file:

{
    "plugins": ["stylelint-selector-no-empty"],
    "rules": {
        "plugin/stylelint-selector-no-empty": true,
    }
}

Finally, run stylelint from the CLI as normal:

stylelint your-file.css
