Add ESLint

Linting is the process of checking the source code for Programmatic as well as Stylistic errors.

Adding ESLint will be helpful in identifying some common and uncommon mistakes that are made during coding.

ESLint covers both code quality and coding style issues.

• Add ESLint to this project.
• Add scripts in package.json i.e. npm run test-lint should run lint tests.
• Do not make any changes to other files.
