eslint-config-dantay v0.0.31

Eslint and Prettier Setup

These are my settings for ESLint and Prettier

This package is based on the eslint package by Wes Bos

What it does

• Lints JavaScript based on the latest standards
• Fixes issues and formatting errors with Prettier
• Lints + Fixes inside of html script tags
• Lints + Fixes React via eslint-config-airbnb
• You can see all the rules here

Installing

Local / Per Project Install

1. If you don't already have a package.json file, create one with npm init.

2. Then we need to install everything needed by the config:

npx install-peerdeps --dev eslint-config-dantay

3. You can see in your package.json there are now a big list of devDependencies.

4. Create a .eslintrc file in the root of your project's directory (it should live where package.json does). Your .eslintrc file should look like this:

{
  "extends": ["dantay"]
}

Tip: You can alternatively put this object in your package.json under the property "eslintConfig":. This makes one less file in your project.

5. You can add two scripts to your package.json to lint and/or fix:

"scripts": {
  "lint": "eslint .",
  "lint:fix": "eslint . --fix"
},

6. Now you can manually lint your code by running npm run lint and fix all fixable issues with npm run lint:fix. You probably want your editor to do this though.

Global Install

1. First install everything needed:

npx install-peerdeps --global eslint-config-dantay

(note: npx is not a spelling mistake of npm. npx comes with when node and npm are installed and makes script running easier 😃)

2. Then you need to make a global .eslintrc file:

ESLint will look for one in your home directory

• ~/.eslintrc for mac
• C:\Users\username\.eslintrc for windows

In your .eslintrc file, it should look like this:

{
  "extends": ["dantay"]
}

3. To use from the CLI, you can now run eslint . or configure your editor as we show next.

Settings

If you'd like to overwrite eslint or prettier settings, you can add the rules in your .eslintrc file. The ESLint rules go directly under "rules" while prettier options go under "prettier/prettier". Note that prettier rules overwrite anything in my config (trailing comma, and single quote), so you'll need to include those as well.

{
  "extends": [
    "dantay"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "no-console": 2,
    "prettier/prettier": [
      "error",
      {
        "trailingComma": "es5",
        "singleQuote": true,
        "printWidth": 120,
        "tabWidth": 8,
      }
    ]
  }
}

With VS Code

You should read this entire thing. Serious!

Once you have done one, or both, of the above installs. You probably want your editor to lint and fix for you. Here are the instructions for VS Code:

1. Install the ESLint package
2. Now we need to setup some VS Code settings via Code/File → Preferences → Settings. It's easier to enter these settings while editing the settings.json file, so click the {} icon in the top right corner:

  // These are all my auto-save configs
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
// turn it off for JS and JSX, we will do this via eslint
"[javascript]": {
  "editor.formatOnSave": false
},
"[javascriptreact]": {
  "editor.formatOnSave": false
},
// tell the ESLint plugin to run on save
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
  "source.fixAll": true
},
// Optional BUT IMPORTANT: If you have the prettier extension enabled for other languages like CSS and HTML, turn it off for JS since we are doing it through Eslint already
"prettier.disableLanguages": ["javascript", "javascriptreact"],

With Create React App

1. You gotta eject first npm run eject or yarn eject
2. Run npx install-peerdeps --dev eslint-config-dantay
3. Crack open your package.json and replace "extends": "react-app" with "extends": "dantay"

IT'S NOT WORKING

This will remove them all:

Remove local install

npm remove eslint-config-dantay babel-eslint eslint eslint-config-prettier eslint-config-airbnb eslint-plugin-html eslint-plugin-prettier eslint-plugin-import eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y eslint-plugin-react prettier eslint-plugin-react-hooks

Remove global install

npm remove --global eslint-config-dantay babel-eslint eslint eslint-config-prettier eslint-config-airbnb eslint-plugin-html eslint-plugin-prettier eslint-plugin-import eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y eslint-plugin-react prettier eslint-plugin-react-hooks

Then if you are using a local install, remove your package-lock.json file and delete the node_modules/ directory.

Then follow the above instructions again.
