Setup

Requires node >= 20.11

Install ts-basics and the peer-dependency to typescript.\ npm i -D @kilcekru/ts-basics typescript@5.8 eslint@9

The peer dependency on typescript has a range of >=5.4 <5.9.\ There is an upper bound on the typescript, because 5.9 is not yet supported by the used version of typescript-eslint.\ The peer dependency on eslint has a range of ^9.

tsconfig

There are multiple flavours available:

• tsconfig-base: base configuration, does not set module, moduleResolution, target, lib.
• tsconfig-browser-app: for browser, no jsx config (es2023 is used, support for older browsers not given)
• tsconfig-browser-library: for browser, no jsx config (enables declaration files)
• tsconfig-node-app: for node >=20.11
• tsconfig-node-library: for node >=20.11 (enables declaration files)
• tsconfig-react-app: for browser using react
• tsconfig-react-library: for browser using react (enables declaration files)
• tsconfig-solid-app: for browser using solidJs
• tsconfig-solid-library: for browser using solidjs (enables declaration files)
• tsconfig-webworker-app: for browser webworkers
• tsconfig-webworker-library: for browser webworkers (enables declaration files)

To use one of those flavours, just extend your tsconfig from it:
This will give you the basic configuration, but does not specify any paths.
You still have to add include, outDir,...

Example:

{
	"extends": "@kilcekru/ts-basics/tsconfig-node-app.json",
	"compilerOptions": {
		"outDir": "dist",
	},
	"include": [
		"src/**/*"
	]
}

eslint

All provided presets and configs only support flat config files of eslint@9. See eslint.org configuration\ Presets and configs are only available as esm.

Presets

There are multiple presets available:

• base: base config, no globals defined. See eslint.org globals\ Includes plugins eslint, typescript-eslint, eslint-plugin-import, eslint-plugin-simple-import-sort, eslint-config-prettier and customizations.
• browser: globals set for browser
• node: globals set for nodejs
• react: globals set for browser, includes plugins eslint-plugin-react, eslint-plugin-react-hooks.
• sertviceworker: globals set for serviceworke
• solid: golabls set for browser, includes plugin eslint-plugin-solid.
• webworker: globals set for webworker

To use it just include the presets in your eslint config.\ You can do custom overrides by adding plugins / settings after ts-basics.

Example:

// eslint.config.mjs
import tsBasics from "@kilcekru/ts-basics";

export default tsBasics.defineConfig([
	...tsBasics.presets.react, // use the preset for react
	tsBasics.globalIgnores(["**/dist/"]) // ignore all filtes within dist folders
]);

Configs

Cou can also do your own base config and just include parts of the config.\ Multiple configs are available:

• import: Includes plugins eslint-plugin-import, eslint-plugin-simple-import-sort & configuration.
• react: Includes plugins eslint-plugin-react, eslint-plugin-react-hooks & configuration.
• typescript: Includes plugin typescript-eslint & configuration.

Example:

// eslint.config.mjs
import pluginJs from "@eslint/js";
import tsBasics from "@kilcekru/ts-basics";

export default tsBasics.defineConfig([
	pluginJs.configs.recommended, // use eslint recommended config
	...tsBasics.configs.typescript, // use typescript config from tsbasics
	{ languageOptions: { globals: tsBasics.globals.browser } } // Specify globals for browser
]);

eslint & globals re-exports

ts-basics re-exports defineConfig & globalIgnores from eslint/config and also globals.\ This makes it easier to adjust your config as needed.

Eslint and typescript

typescript-eslint is configured with projectservice enabled. See typescript-eslint.io projectservice\ This should work out of the box but if you have problems, read the typescript-eslint docs to configure service options or projects.

Performance

Eslint gets exponential slower on bigger projects.
If you use it in a big monorepo & experience speed or OOM problems, create a separate eslint.config.mjs for each package.
Linting each package will be faster and use less memory than linting everything at once.

Migration

pre 4.0 to 4

• tsconfig: No changes should be needed. Updates for compilerOptions might affect your code.
• eslint: Before 4.0 .eslintrc.js was used. 4.0 now uses eslint flat configs.\ To use eslint config you need to update your repo to use flat config. See eslint.org configuration\ It is advised to use a eslint.config.mjs file, because ts-basics only offers esm. Follow the readme Presets to include ts-basics.\

Changelog

  • Update typescript peer-dependency to >=5.4 <5.9.
  • eslint is now a peerDependeny, changed eslint config to flat config, added more flavours.
