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 is highly inspired from eslint-config-standard-with-typescript but it is stricter and with no formatting rules, only code-quality rules. 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.

Configuration with Prettier (recommended)

You will need to install some dependencies in addition to those required:

npm install --save-dev prettier eslint-config-prettier eslint-plugin-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

.eslintrc.json

{
  "extends": ["conventions", "prettier"],
  "plugins": ["prettier"],
  "parserOptions": {
    "project": "./tsconfig.json"
  },
