Intro
Goal: Use community rule sets like airbnb, standard, and google for consistent style without manual tuning.
Airbnb config
Airbnb is a popular strict style, especially for React. It enforces semicolons, spacing, and React best practices.
npm install --save-dev eslint-config-airbnb-typescript eslint-plugin-import eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y eslint-plugin-react eslint-plugin-react-hooksStandard config
Standard is simpler: no semicolons, minimal config, widely used in Node projects.
npm install --save-dev eslint-config-standard eslint-plugin-import eslint-plugin-n eslint-plugin-promiseGoogle config
Google config focuses on readability and clarity, used in large codebases.
npm install --save-dev eslint-config-googleCombine configs
You can extend multiple configs: Airbnb + Prettier + TS rules. Ensure parserOptions.project is set for type-aware rules.
// .eslintrc.js example
module.exports = {
extends: [
"airbnb-typescript/base",
"plugin:prettier/recommended"
],
parserOptions: {
project: "./tsconfig.json"
}
}Team alignment
Pick one rule set per project to avoid endless style debates. Align team on it, then focus energy on features.
