@bachman-dev/eslint-config

This is an ESLint Shared Configuration for use in all Bachman Dev projects. It contains highly opinionated rules from ESLint and typescript-eslint to help conform to our coding style.

[!WARNING]
This configuration is in an early stage of development. Use at your own risk!

Should I Use This?

In terms of using this config as-is, unless you're contributing code that's under the @bachman-dev Organization... probably not. However, use of the source code to make your own shareable ESLint config is encouraged, especially if its structure could be of some help to others.

Installation

TypeScript (and Maybe Some JavaScript e.g. Config Files)

Install the following packages:

pnpm add --save-dev typescript eslint @eslint/js typescript-eslint eslint-config-prettier @bachman-dev/eslint-config

Add the following to your eslint.config.js:

import bachmanDev from "@bachman-dev/eslint-config";
import { defineConfig } from "eslint/config";
import eslint from "@eslint/js";
import eslintConfigPrettier from "eslint-config-prettier";
import tseslint from "typescript-eslint";

export default defineConfig(
  {
    // Replace output folder if needed, e.g. "dist"
    ignores: ["dist/**"],
  },
  eslint.configs.recommended,
  ...tseslint.configs.strictTypeChecked,
  ...tseslint.configs.stylisticTypeChecked,
  bachmanDev({ language: "typescript" }),
  {
    languageOptions: {
      parserOptions: {
        projectService: true,
        tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
      },
    },
  },
  {
    files: ["**/*.js"],
    ...tseslint.configs.disableTypeChecked,
  },
  {
    files: ["**/*.js"],
    ...bachmanDev({ language: "javascript-in-typescript" }),
  },
  eslintConfigPrettier,
);

Plain JavaScript

Install the following packages:

pnpm add --save-dev eslint @eslint/js eslint-config-prettier @bachman-dev/eslint-config

import bachmanDev from "@bachman-dev/eslint-config";
import { defineConfig } from "eslint/config";
import eslint from "@eslint/js";
import eslintConfigPrettier from "eslint-config-prettier";

export default defineConfig([
  {
    // Replace output folder if needed, e.g. "dist"
    ignores: ["dist/**"],
  },
  eslint.configs.recommended,
  bachmanDev({ language: "javascript" }),
  eslintConfigPrettier,
]);

Rulesets

The following rulesets are applied to your ESLint configuration depending on language:

• All Languages: Base (JS/TS) Rules
• typescript: Handled by TypeScript, TypeScript Rules, ESLint Extensions by typescript-eslint
• javascript-in-typescript: JavaScript within TypeScript

Configuration

The rules enabled by this configuration are highly opinionated, but some exceptions are made for niche projects.

language

Typically either set to javascript or typescript when configuring across all files. For projects with a mixture of JavaScript and TypeScript, you should include the config with the language set to javascript-in-typescript, with a files property on the config object limited to only JavaScript files. See the above Installation instructions for an example.

allowBitwise

When set to true, we allow Bitwise Operators such as &, |, <<, >>, etc. These normally indicate a typo, but some programs such as Discord bots rely on them heavily. So this option can be enabled instead of disabling the rule per line many times.

allowConsole

Permits plain calls to console methods when set to true.

[!WARNING] Logging via the built-in "console" object can be convenient, but usually leads to excess outputs hanging around; it's best to use a logging framework (or make your own service, disabling this rule in your own methods) so that logging is centralized, configurable, and not (as often) subject to misplaced log-prints that make it into production. Consider this before enabling this config option.

Contributing

Generally speaking, this project doesn't accept outside contributions with a couple of exceptions:

1. Security Vulnerability Reports -- see SECURITY.md
2. Pull Requests opened against existing open Issues accepting Pull Requests

Thank you for your understanding!
