Alley's ESLint Configuration

Alley's standard ESLint configuration, which includes support for React, React Hooks, and TypeScript.

Background

This package leverages Airbnb's ESLint config and Airbnb Typescript along with Babel and Typescript ESLint parsers making it easy to configure JavaScript linting for projects that might also include React and TypeScript.

Releases

This package adheres to semantic versioning and is released on https://www.npmjs.com/.

Use

First, install the package from npm:

npm install --save-dev @alleyinteractive/eslint-config

Next, choose a configuration from the available ESLint configurations.

This package exports four ESLint configurations for usage.

1. @alleyinteractive/eslint-config - Default configuration that supports React.
2. @alleyinteractive/eslint-config/base - Base configuration similar to Airbnb's base configuration without supporting React plugins.
3. @alleyinteractive/eslint-config/typescript - Typescript support without React plugin support.
4. @alleyinteractive/eslint-config/typescript-react - Typescript and React support.

Then create an .eslintrc.json file in your project that extends the configuration:

  {
    "extends": ["@alleyinteractive/eslint-config"]
  }

Finally, add lint commands to your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "eslint --ext .ts,.tsx,.js,.jsx .",
    "lint:fix": "eslint --ext .ts,.tsx,.js,.jsx --fix ."
  }
}

If you are resolving your modules with the ESLint webpack import resolver, you will need to add the eslint-import-resolver-webpack package and settings configuration in your project:

npm install --save-dev eslint-import-resolver-webpack

You will also need to add the following to the projects .eslintrc.json file:

  "settings": {
    "import/resolver": "webpack"
  },

TypeScript and Monorepo configuration

TypeScript

For TypeScript projects, you will need to explicitly include files you would like to lint in your tsconfig.json file. One way of doing this is to extend the base `tsconfig.json`` file and provide specific configurations for ESLint.

1. Create a tsconfig.eslint.json file in your project that extends the base tsconfig.json file.
2. Add the allowImportingTsExtensions and noEmit compiler options to the compilerOptions object since this configuration is not for compiling TypeScript.
3. Add the files you would like to lint to the include array.

Example of a tsconfig.eslint.json file:

{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "allowImportingTsExtensions": true,
    "noEmit": true,
  },
  "include": [
    "../jest.config.js",
    "../config/webpack.config.ts",
    "../utils",
    "../index.ts",
    "../.eslintrc.js",
    "../utils/index.test.ts",
    "../utils/webpack.test.ts"
  ]
}

Monorepo

If you're using a monorepo, there may be additional steps to setup typed linting.

This package uses the typescript-eslint parser and plugin to support TypeScript.

ESLint requires a tsconfig.json file to be present in the root of the project and typescript-eslint needs to find the tsconfig.json file that is used for linting.

If you have a specific tsconfig file for ESLint such as a tsconfig.eslint.json file you will need to specify the path to this file in the parserOptions.project setting in your .eslintrc.json file.

  "parserOptions": {
    "project": "./tsconfig.eslint.json"
  }

More details: https://typescript-eslint.io/linting/typed-linting/monorepos

In some cases where there is no tsconfig file in your project root you may need to convert your eslintrc file to JavaScript to pass in the node global of __dirname to the parserOptions.tsconfigRootDir setting.

// eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
  extends: ['@alleyinteractive/eslint-config/typescript'],
+  parserOptions: {
+    project: `./tsconfig.eslint.json`,
+    tsconfigRootDir: __dirname,
+  },
};

From Source

To work on this repository:

git clone [email protected]:alleyinteractive/alley-scripts.git
cd packages/eslint-config
npm ci

In order to test the config with another project, you will need to point to this package, e.g.:

{
  "devDependences": {
    "@alleyinteractive/eslint-config": "file:../path/to/alley-scripts/packages/eslint-config"
  }
}

Then simply run npm install and npm will symlink to this folder, and you can work on your changes.
