ESLint

Use ESLint to find and fix problems in your codebase. ESLint is a tool for identifying and reporting on patterns found in ECMAScript/JavaScript code, with the goal of making code more consistent and avoiding bugs.

Refer to official documentation for detailed usage. →

package.json

{    "scripts": {        "lint": "eslint '**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}'"    },    "devDependencies": {        "eslint": "^7.15.0",        "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "^4.9.1",        "@typescript-eslint/parser": "^4.9.1",
        If you want to use Prettier with ESLint, you need to add the following packages.        // "eslint-config-prettier": "^7.0.0",        // "eslint-plugin-prettier": "^3.2.0"    }}

ESLint is designed to be flexible and configurable for your use case. You can turn off every rule and run only with basic syntax validation or mix and match the bundled rules and your custom rules to fit the needs of your project.
