setup-config

I work with various JS frameworks and got really tired of always having to create ESLint and Prettier config files so I created this. This is a good starting point to create an ESLint config that also uses Prettier for formatting.

Install

npx setup-config setup

npx allows you to use the command without installing it locally, which is the preferred method.

or you can just install as a dev dependency like so...

npm i -D setup-config 

Usage

setup-config setup

If you do not want to use Prettier...

setup-config setup -p

# or

setup-config setup --no-prettier

Want to remove the config files?

setup-config remove

# or

setup-config rm

remove does not remove the entries in your package.json, so if you want to remove those, then you must manually do that.

Need help?

setup-config --help

All npx commands

npx setup-config setup
npx setup-config setup -p    # without Prettier
npx setup-config remove      # removes conig files

Config files

Here are the config files that are created in the root of your project

.eslintrc.js with Prettier

module.exports = {
  root: true,
  parser: 'babel-eslint',
  parserOptions: {
    sourceType: 'module',
  },
  env: {
    browser: true,
    es6: true,
  },
  extends: ['airbnb-base/legacy', 'prettier'],
  plugins: ['prettier', 'import'],
  // add your custom rules here
  rules: {
    'prettier/prettier': 1,
    // allow debugger during development
    'no-debugger': process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 1 : 0,
    'no-console': process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 1 : 0,
  },
};
 

.eslintrc.js without Prettier

module.exports = {
  root: true,
  parser: 'babel-eslint',
  parserOptions: {
    sourceType: 'module',
  },
  env: {
    browser: true,
    es6: true,
  },
  extends: ['airbnb-base/legacy'],
  plugins: ['import'],
  // add your custom rules here
  rules: {
    // allow debugger during development
    'no-debugger': process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 1 : 0,
    'no-console': process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 1 : 0,
  },
};

.prettierrc.js

module.exports = {
  printWidth: 100,
  semi: true,
  singleQuote: true,
  trailingComma: 'es5',
  arrowParens: 'avoid',
};

When you run setup-config setup, here is the npm install command that is run:

npm i -D babel-eslint eslint eslint-config-airbnb-base eslint-config-prettier eslint-plugin-import eslint-plugin-prettier prettier

When you run the setup-config setup -p, here is the npm install command that is run:

npm i -D babel-eslint eslint eslint-config-airbnb-base eslint-plugin-import

Thoughts

This is a good base for how I use ESLint and Prettier. If you want something changed, create an issue and we can discuss it.

The future

I will probably end up creating a --react flag that is setup to use React because I do spend a lot of time in React.
