@jsenv/eslint-config-relax v1.6.6

eslint-config-relax

A pragmatic ESLint configuration that focuses on meaningful errors while giving you freedom to write code your way.

Why Choose eslint-config-relax?

If you're tired of:

• Fighting with ESLint configuration
• Being forced to code in a specific style
• Module resolution errors in ESLint
• Noisy linting that focuses on trivial issues

eslint-config-relax lets you focus on writing code while still catching potential bugs and serious issues.

Quick setup

npm i --save-dev @jsenv/eslint-config-relax

Create an eslint.config.js file at your project root:

import { eslintConfigRelax } from "@jsenv/eslint-config-relax";

export default eslintConfigRelax({
  rootDirectoryUrl: import.meta.resolve("./"),
  browserDirectoryUrl: import.meta.resolve("./src/"), // optional
});

Key Features

Focus on Real Issues

We disable rules that are:

• Purely stylistic
• Too opinionated
• More annoying than helpful

So you only see warnings that actually matter for code quality.

Working Import Resolution

Full implementation of Node.js ESM resolution algorithm means:

• No more "Unable to resolve path to module" errors for valid imports
• Correct browser vs Node.js environment detection
• Proper handling of package exports

Modern & Simple

• Uses ESLint's flat config system
• No complex plugin chains or configuration inheritance
• Works across various project types with minimal setup

Environment Aware

Automatically adjusts rules based on your code's environment:

• Browser-specific checks for browser code
• Node.js-specific checks for server code

Technical Notes

• Requires ESLint 8.0 or higher (uses flat config)
• TypeScript support planned for future releases
• Works with any project structure

Example project structure

your-project/
├── eslint.config.js
├── package.json
├── src/                // Browser code
│   └── browser-specific-code.js
└── server/             // Node.js code
    └── node-specific-code.js

Migrate from traditional ESLint and enjoy writing code that's checked for what matters, not how it looks.
