[![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@matijaoe/eslint-config?color=444&label=)](https://npmjs.com/package/@matijaoe/eslint-config)

- Single quotes, no semi
- Auto fix for formatting (aimed to be used standalone **without** Prettier)
- Designed to work with TypeScript, JSX, Vue out-of-box
- Lints also for json, yaml, markdown
- Sorted imports, dangling commas
- Reasonable defaults, best practices, only one-line of config
- Respects `.gitignore` by default
- [ESLint Flat config](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files-new), compose easily!
- Using [ESLint Stylistic](https://github.com/eslint-stylistic/eslint-stylistic)
- **Style principle**: Minimal for reading, stable for diff, consistent

## Usage

### Install

```bash
pnpm i -D eslint @matijaoe/eslint-config
```

### Create config file

With [`"type": "module"`](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#type) in `package.json` (recommended):

```js
// eslint.config.js
import matijaoe from '@matijaoe/eslint-config'

export default matijaoe()
```

With CJS:

```js
// eslint.config.js
const matijaoe = require('@matijaoe/eslint-config').default

module.exports = matijaoe()
```

Combined with legacy config:

```js
// eslint.config.js
const matijaoe = require('@matijaoe/eslint-config').default
const { FlatCompat } = require('@eslint/eslintrc')

const compat = new FlatCompat()

module.exports = matijaoe(
  {
    ignores: [],
  },

  // Legacy config
  ...compat.config({
    extends: [
      'eslint:recommended',
      // Other extends...
    ],
  })

  // Other flat configs...
)
```

> Note that `.eslintignore` no longer works in Flat config, see [customization](#customization) for more details.

### Add script for package.json

For example:

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "eslint .",
    "lint:fix": "eslint . --fix"
  }
}
```

## VS Code support (auto fix)

Install [VS Code ESLint extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dbaeumer.vscode-eslint)

Add the following settings to your `.vscode/settings.json`:

```jsonc
{
  // Enable the ESlint flat config support
  "eslint.experimental.useFlatConfig": true,

  // Disable the default formatter, use eslint instead
  "prettier.enable": false,
  "editor.formatOnSave": false,

  // Auto fix
  "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
    "source.fixAll.eslint": "explicit",
    "source.organizeImports": "never"
  },

  // Silent the stylistic rules in you IDE, but still auto fix them
  "eslint.rules.customizations": [
    { "rule": "style/*", "severity": "off" },
    { "rule": "*-indent", "severity": "off" },
    { "rule": "*-spacing", "severity": "off" },
    { "rule": "*-spaces", "severity": "off" },
    { "rule": "*-order", "severity": "off" },
    { "rule": "*-dangle", "severity": "off" },
    { "rule": "*-newline", "severity": "off" },
    { "rule": "*quotes", "severity": "off" },
    { "rule": "*semi", "severity": "off" }
  ],

  // Enable eslint for all supported languages
  "eslint.validate": [
    "javascript",
    "javascriptreact",
    "typescript",
    "typescriptreact",
    "vue",
    "html",
    "markdown",
    "json",
    "jsonc",
    "yaml"
  ]
}
```

## Customization

You only need to import the `matijaoe` preset:

```js
// eslint.config.js
import matijaoe from '@matijaoe/eslint-config'

export default matijaoe()
```

And that's it! Or you can configure each integration individually, for example:

```js
// eslint.config.js
import matijaoe from '@matijaoe/eslint-config'

export default matijaoe({
  // Enable stylistic formatting rules
  stylistic: true,

  // Or customize the stylistic rules
  stylistic: {
    indent: 2, // 4, or 'tab'
    quotes: 'single', // or 'double'
  },

  // TypeScript and Vue are auto-detected, you can also explicitly enable them:
  typescript: true,
  // vue: true,
  vue: {
    // Enable experimental propsDestructure support
    propsDestructure: true,
  },

  // Disable jsonc and yaml support
  jsonc: false,
  yaml: false,

  // `.eslintignore` is no longer supported in Flat config, use `ignores` instead
  ignores: [
    './fixtures',
    // ...globs
  ]
})
```

The `matijaoe` factory function also accepts any number of arbitrary custom config overrides:

```js
// eslint.config.js
import matijaoe from '@matijaoe/eslint-config'

export default matijaoe(
  {
    // Configures for matijaoe's config
  },

  // From the second arguments they are ESLint Flat Configs
  // you can have multiple configs
  {
    files: ['**/*.ts'],
    rules: {},
  },
  {
    rules: {},
  },
)
```

Going more advanced, you can also import fine-grained configs and compose them as you wish:

<details>
<summary>Advanced Example</summary>

We don't recommend using this style in general usages, as there are shared options between configs and might need extra care to make them consistent.

```js
// eslint.config.js
import {
  comments,
  ignores,
  imports,
  javascript,
  jsdoc,
  jsonc,
  markdown,
  node,
  sortPackageJson,
  sortTsconfig,
  stylistic,
  typescript,
  unicorn,
  vue,
  yaml,
} from '@matijaoe/eslint-config'

export default [
  ...ignores(),
  ...javascript(/* Options */),
  ...comments(),
  ...node(),
  ...jsdoc(),
  ...imports(),
  ...unicorn(),
  ...typescript(/* Options */),
  ...stylistic(),
  ...vue(),
  ...jsonc(),
  ...yaml(),
  ...markdown(),
]
```

### Plugins Renaming

Since flat config requires us to explicitly provide the plugin names (instead of mandatory convention from npm package name), we renamed some plugins to make overall scope more consistent and easier to write.

| New Prefix | Original Prefix | Source Plugin |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `import/*` | `i/*` | [eslint-plugin-i](https://github.com/un-es/eslint-plugin-i) |
| `node/*` | `n/*` | [eslint-plugin-n](https://github.com/eslint-community/eslint-plugin-n) |
| `yaml/*` | `yml/*` | [eslint-plugin-yml](https://github.com/ota-meshi/eslint-plugin-yml) |
| `ts/*` | `@typescript-eslint/*` | [@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin](https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint) |
| `style/*` | `@stylistic/*` | [@stylistic/eslint-plugin](https://github.com/eslint-stylistic/eslint-stylistic) |
| `test/*` | `vitest/*` | [eslint-plugin-vitest](https://github.com/veritem/eslint-plugin-vitest) |
| `test/*` | `no-only-tests/*` | [eslint-plugin-no-only-tests](https://github.com/levibuzolic/eslint-plugin-no-only-tests) |

When you want to override rules, or disable them inline, you need to update to the new prefix:

```diff
-// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/consistent-type-definitions
+// eslint-disable-next-line ts/consistent-type-definitions
type foo = { bar: 2 }
```

### Rules Overrides

Certain rules would only be enabled in specific files, for example, `ts/*` rules would only be enabled in `.ts` files and `vue/*` rules would only be enabled in `.vue` files. If you want to override the rules, you need to specify the file extension:

```js
// eslint.config.js
import matijaoe from '@matijaoe/eslint-config'

export default matijaoe(
  { vue: true, typescript: true },
  {
    // Remember to specify the file glob here, otherwise it might cause the vue plugin to handle non-vue files
    files: ['**/*.vue'],
    rules: {
      'vue/operator-linebreak': ['error', 'before'],
    },
  },
  {
    // Without `files`, they are general rules for all files
    rules: {
      'style/semi': ['error', 'never'],
    },
  }
)
```

We also provided an `overrides` options to make it easier:

```js
// eslint.config.js
import matijaoe from '@matijaoe/eslint-config'

export default matijaoe({
  overrides: {
    vue: {
      'vue/operator-linebreak': ['error', 'before'],
    },
    typescript: {
      'ts/consistent-type-definitions': ['error', 'interface'],
    },
    yaml: {},
    // ...
  }
})
```

### Optional Rules

This config also provides some optional plugins/rules for extended usages.

#### `perfectionist` (sorting)

This plugin [`eslint-plugin-perfectionist`](https://github.com/azat-io/eslint-plugin-perfectionist) allows you to sorted object keys, imports, etc, with auto-fix.

The plugin is installed but no rules are enabled by default. 

It's recommended to opt-in on each file individually using [configuration comments](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/rules#using-configuration-comments-1).

```js
/* eslint perfectionist/sort-objects: "error" */
const objectWantedToSort = {
  a: 2,
  b: 1,
  c: 3,
}
/* eslint perfectionist/sort-objects: "off" */
```

### Type Aware Rules

You can optionally enable the [type aware rules](https://typescript-eslint.io/linting/typed-linting/) by passing the options object to the `typescript` config:

```js
// eslint.config.js
import matijaoe from '@matijaoe/eslint-config'

export default matijaoe({
  typescript: {
    tsconfigPath: 'tsconfig.json',
  },
})
```

### Lint Staged

If you want to apply lint and auto-fix before every commit, you can add the following to your `package.json`:

```json
{
  "simple-git-hooks": {
    "pre-commit": "pnpm lint-staged"
  },
  "lint-staged": {
    "*": "eslint --fix"
  }
}
```

and then

```bash
npm i -D lint-staged simple-git-hooks
```

## Versioning Policy

This project follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) for releases. However, since this is just a config and involved with opinions and many moving parts, we don't treat rules changes as breaking changes.

### Changes Considered as Breaking Changes

- Node.js version requirement changes
- Huge refactors that might break the config
- Plugins made major changes that might break the config
- Changes that might affect most of the codebases

### Changes Considered as Non-breaking Changes

- Enable/disable rules and plugins (that might become stricter)
- Rules options changes
- Version bumps of dependencies

## FAQ

### Prettier?

[Why I don't use Prettier](https://antfu.me/posts/why-not-prettier)

### How to lint CSS?

This config does NOT lint CSS. I personally use [UnoCSS](https://github.com/unocss/unocss) so I don't write CSS. If you still prefer CSS, you can use [stylelint](https://stylelint.io/) for CSS linting.

### I prefer XXX...

Sure, you can config and override rules locally in your project to fit your needs. If that still does not work for you, you can always fork this repo and maintain your own.
