eslint-config-techsmith v4.0.0

ESLint

ESLint rules for JavaScript and TypeScript

Use

• Install this package, e.g. npm install --save-dev eslint-config-techsmith eslint
• You may also want to install globals - npm install --save-dev globals
• Create a file called eslint.config.js in your project root. It should have contents similar to this:

const getTscLintingConfig = require('./index');
const globals = require('globals');

module.exports = getTscLintingConfig(['node_modules/*'], globals.browser);

• The first arg is what files to ignore - think carefully about this. You almost certainly want to ignore node_modules, but you may want to ignore others like auto-gen'd code or dist. You can run eslint with --debug to see what it thinks it needs to lint.
• The second arg is an object (Record<string, false>) of globals for eslint to be aware of. You may use the globals package (not included) to make this easier.
• This package should automatically handle JS, TS, and React with no further configuration
• While this package has sensible default rules, you may want to tweak some rules. You can do so fairly easily, e.g.:

module.exports = [
   ...getTscLintingConfig(['node_modules/*'], globals.browser),
   {
      rules: {
         'no-console': [
            'error',
            {allow: ['debug', 'info', 'warn', 'error', 'time', 'timeEnd']}
         ]
      }
   },
   {
      files: ['**/*.ts', '**/*.tsx'],
      rules: {
         '@typescript-eslint/restrict-plus-operands': 'off',
         '@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-member-access': 'off',
         '@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-call': 'off',
         '@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-assignment': 'off',
         '@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-argument': 'off',
         '@typescript-eslint/prefer-nullish-coalescing': 'off',
         'prefer-arrow/prefer-arrow-functions': ['error', {classPropertiesAllowed: true}],
         '@typescript-eslint/consistent-type-imports': ['error', {fixStyle: 'inline-type-imports'}]
      }
   }
];

Integrating into your build

• Run eslint as part of your build to ensure your JavaScript is up to snuff!
• As an example, add the following to your package.json file

"scripts": {
    "lint": "eslint --cache --color",
}

• This example will lint all JS and TS files in your project.
• Run the script as a "custom script" build step: npm run lint or yarn lint

Releasing

This is a public npm package. These are the steps for releasing

1) Merge PR / update version number in package.json 2) npm login 3) Enter credentials for npm login obtained from the usual place credentials are stored (leaving this deliberately vague since this is a public repo) 4) npm publish

Testing

This project lints itself and also contains some files in __tests__ and example-files which should currently have various linting failures. However, you will likely need to publish a pre-release package and try it in a current repo to validate any tweaks.
