eslint-config-react-native v4.1.0

Pluggable ESLint config for React Native that you can import, extend and override

React Native: Safety Checks and Best Practices with a bias toward code concision / brevity

Usage

In your js project directory:

npm install --save-dev eslint-config-react-native

And in your .eslintrc.yaml:

extends:
  - react-native

Alternatively, in your .eslintrc.js or .eslintrc.json:

{
  "extends": ["react-native"]
}

To add a git-hook to your commits, consider using husky

npm install --save-dev husky

And in your package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "precommit": "eslint ."
  }

Config

This config is biased and opinionated, and errs on the side of too many rules instead of too few. Think of this as a superset of your repo's lint config, and discard what you don't like in it. It's easy to override and disable the rules you find inconvenient.

env:
  browser: true

enables browser features and global variables

plugins:
  - react
  - react-native

provides React, JSX and React Native specific rules

extends:
  - esnext
  - plugin:react/recommended

enables jsx parsing, includes config and rules from eslint-config-esnext and the following react-specific recommended rules:

• react/display-name: prevent missing displayName in a React component definition
• react/jsx-no-duplicate-props: prevent duplicate properties in JSX components
• react/jsx-no-undef: disallow undeclared variables as JSX components
