gatsby-plugin-eslint

Replaces Gatsby's ESLint Webpack configs, giving you full control to customize linting with the rules and developer experience you specifically need to maintain code quality.

This will COMPLETELY OVERWRITE any ESLint Webpack Plugins that Gatsby uses. The installation instructions will help you reactivate the two required rules as of writing:

• no-anonymous-exports-page-templates
• limited-exports-page-templates

Installation

npm install --save-dev gatsby-plugin-eslint eslint-webpack-plugin

or

yarn add --dev gatsby-plugin-eslint eslint-webpack-plugin

Default Settings

1. Lints development mode in the 'develop' stage. Add other Webpack Config Stages into stages array to enable linting during other Gatsby stages (eg. build-javascript)
2. Lint .js, .jsx, .ts, and .tsx files.
3. Excludes node_modules, bower_components, .cache, and public folders from linting
4. Otherwise uses eslint-webpack-plugin option defaults

Usage

1. Create eslint.config.mjs file in project root.

   export default [
     {
       files: ['src/**/*.js'],
       rules: {
         'no-anonymous-exports-page-templates': 'warn',
         'limited-exports-page-templates': 'warn'
       }
     }
   ];
   

2. Add plugin into gatsby-config.js

   // gatsby-config.js
   
   const path = require('path');
   // Get paths of Gatsby's required rules, which as of writing is located at
   // https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/tree/gatsby%405.3.3/packages/gatsby/src/utils/eslint-rules
   const gatsbyRequiredRules = path.join(
     process.cwd(),
     'node_modules',
     'gatsby',
     'dist',
     'utils',
     'eslint-rules'
   );
   
   module.exports = {
     plugins: [
       // ...other plugins
       {
         resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-eslint',
         options: {
           configType: 'flat',
           eslintPath: 'eslint/use-at-your-own-risk',
           // Optional path for Gatsby required rules
           rulePaths: [gatsbyRequiredRules]
           // Default settings that may be omitted or customized
           // stages: ['develop'],
           // extensions: ['js', 'jsx', 'ts', 'tsx'],
           // exclude: ['node_modules', 'bower_components', '.cache', 'public']
         }
       }
     ]
   };
   

3. Additionally as of writing, Gatsby's default ESLint config may be copied over if you would still like to take advavntage of those rules.

Configuring ESLint (To Be Updated For Flat Config)

Mix and match your own ESLint plugins and rules depending on the React/Javascript/Typescript patterns you want to enforce. Here are three ways you can get started:

Basic React Linting with eslint-plugin-react

1. Follow eslint-plugin-react plugin installation procedures:

   npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-react babel-eslint

   or

   yarn add --dev eslint-plugin-react babel-eslint

2. Add .eslintrc file to project root:

   {
     "parser": "babel-eslint", // uses babel-eslint transforms
     "settings": {
       "react": {
         "version": "detect" // detect react version
       }
     },
     "env": {
       "node": true // defines things like process.env when generating through node
     },
     "extends": [
       "eslint:recommended", // use recommended configs
       "plugin:react/recommended"
     ],
     "rules": {
       "no-anonymous-exports-page-templates": "warn",
       "limited-exports-page-templates": "warn"
     }
   }
   

Typescript Linting with ESLint Plugin Typescript

1. Follow @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin plugin installation procedures:

   npm install --save-dev typescript @typescript-eslint/parser @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin

   or

   yarn add --dev typescript @typescript-eslint/parser @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin

2. Add .eslintrc file to project root:

   {
     "extends": [
       "eslint:recommended",
       "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended",
     ],
     "rules": {
       "no-anonymous-exports-page-templates": "warn",
       "limited-exports-page-templates": "warn"
     }
   }
