eslint-config-conventions

ESLint shareable config to enforce strict conventions and good code quality.

📜 About

eslint-config-conventions is a ESLint configuration to enforce strict conventions and good code quality. It supports both JavaScript and TypeScript.

This configuration is mostly for catching bugs and code-quality so it is recommended to use it with Prettier for a consistent code style, it works with any .prettierrc.json configuration.

More information about formatting rules vs code-quality rules can be found on Prettier vs. Linters.

⚙️ Getting Started

Prerequisites

Node.js >= 20.11.0

Installation

npm install --save-dev \
  eslint@^9.12.0 \
  eslint-plugin-promise@^7.1.0 \
  eslint-plugin-unicorn@^56.0.0 \
  eslint-plugin-import-x@^4.3.1 \
  globals@^15.10.0 \
  typescript@~5.5.4 \
  typescript-eslint@^8.8.0 \
  eslint-config-conventions@latest

Dependencies are:

• ESLint
• ESLint Plugins
  • eslint-plugin-promise
  • eslint-plugin-unicorn
  • eslint-plugin-import-x
• globals
• TypeScript
• typescript-eslint: tooling which enables ESLint to support TypeScript.
• This package: eslint-config-conventions

Configuration

eslint.config.js

import typescriptESLint from "typescript-eslint"
import configConventions from "eslint-config-conventions"

export default typescriptESLint.config(...configConventions, {
  files: ["**/*.ts", "**/*.tsx"],
  languageOptions: {
    parser: typescriptESLint.parser,
    parserOptions: {
      projectService: true,
      tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
    },
  },
})

Configuration with Prettier (recommended)

npm install --save-dev prettier

# Create an empty config file to let editors and other tools know you are using Prettier
# You can personalize it with your own rules
echo "{}" > .prettierrc.json

That's all! No need to update the eslint.config.js configuration.

We discourage usage of eslint-config-prettier and eslint-plugin-prettier, as eslint-config-conventions doesn't include any stylistic rules, and including these packages has several drawbacks (listed in Integrating with Linters) and brings no benefits for this configuration.

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "lint:eslint": "eslint . --max-warnings 0",
    "lint:prettier": "prettier . --check"
  }
}

Usage

node --run lint:eslint
# or to apply automatic fixes to code
node --run lint:eslint -- --fix

# Validate code formatting in all supported languages by Prettier
node --run lint:prettier
