It's part of a Set of Essential Configuration Files for Backend/Frontend/Build code style checking: base-style-config

1 . Add dependencies:

package.json:

  "devDependencies": {
    "eslint": "^7.1.0",
    "eslint-plugin-base-style-config": "2.9.4",
    "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.18.2",
    "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "^4.2.0",
    "@typescript-eslint/parser": "^4.2.0",
    "eslint-plugin-react": "^7.14.3",
    "eslint-plugin-react-hooks": "^2.0.1",
    "eslint-plugin-regex": "^1.9.0",
    "eslint-plugin-unused-imports": "0.1.2",

2 . Configure eslint to use rules from base-style-config:

eslintrc.json:

{
  "extends": [ "plugin:base-style-config/js-rules, import-rules, typescript-rules, react-with-hooks-rules, regex[copyright], regex[jsx], regex[quotes.jsx]" ],
  "parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  "plugins": [ "base-style-config" ],

Remove the rule sets that are not necessary according to your needs.

The idea is to have a common and "single" source of code styling rules, which can be used across different projects:

• Provides a similar set of rules for Backend's, Frontend's and Build's code.
• Provides a "single" source of configuration files.
• Allow to merge different Eslint Regex Rules.

In the future, Set of rules will be extracted to an eslint-config and Mechanism for Merging Eslint configurations will be extracted to an eslint-plugin.

Due to the way eslint merge rules, it's not possible to select a subset of the rules from a package of rules, this plugin provides [1] a mechanism for doing that[2] => just use commas to separate rules names after plugin:base-style-config:

e.g. Selecting typescript-rules, regex[jsx] and regex[quotes.jsx] rules:

eslintrc.json:

{
  "extends": [
    "plugin:base-style-config/typescript-rules, regex[jsx], regex[quotes.jsx]"
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "base-style-config"
  ],

or

{
  "extends": [
    "plugin:base-style-config/typescript-rules",
    "plugin:base-style-config/regex[jsx], regex[quotes.jsx]"
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "base-style-config"
  ],

or

{
  "extends": [
    "plugin:base-style-config/typescript-rules",
    "plugin:base-style-config/regex[jsx]",
    "plugin:base-style-config/regex[quotes.jsx]"
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "base-style-config"
  ],

[1] In the future, the Mechanism for Selecting and Merging Eslint configurations will be extracted to its own eslint-plugin.
[2] For the moment, only base-style-config rules.

Set of Common Eslint Rules for using in "any" type of file.

• To be used in conjunction with any-eslint-parser.

1 . Add dependencies:

package.json:

  "devDependencies": {
    "any-eslint-parser": "1.0.1",

Remember order of sets in extends is important since each new set will override rules of the previous ones.

3 . Add to the respective ESLint script task:

package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "someESlintTask": "eslint --config .eslintrc-any.json \"**/[\\.a-zA-Z]*.+(js|json|yml|txt|md|svg)\" \"**/.+(gitignore|npmignore)\"",

  • This rule is fixable and it will substituted import * as React from 'react' with import React from 'react'.
  • React exports a namespace, not a Module.

regex[test]: Set of Eslint Regex Rules for Test.

• It has only 1 error rule to check that name of variables create with jasmine.createSpy() or jest.fn() are prefixed with mock or stub.

Some of these rule may be obsolete in the future as other "core" lint rules arise.

When using the plugin, if the following error appears for some rule:

1:1  error  Definition for rule 'some...rule' was not found   some..rule

It means the rule is not found in the version of the respective plugin.

Check devDependencies version for the set of rules using in the project, i.e. check version for eslint, eslint-plugin-import, eslint-plugin-react, eslint-plugin-react-hooks and/or @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin
