Reasonable ESLint, Prettier, and TypeScript configs for epic web devs
This makes assumptions about the way you prefer to develop software and gives you configurations that will actually help you in your development.
npm install @epic-web/config
The problem
You're a professional, but you're mature enough to know that even professionals
can make mistakes and you value your time enough to not want to waste time
configuring code quality tools or babysitting them.
This solution
This is a set of configurations you can use in your web projects to avoid
wasting time.
Decisions
You can learn about the different decisions made for this project in
the decision docs.
Usage
Technically you configure everything yourself, but you can use the configs in
this project as a starter for your projects (and in some cases you don't need to
configure anything more than the defaults).
Prettier
The easiest way to use this config is in your package.json
:
"prettier": "@epic-web/config/prettier"
Customizing prettier
If you want to customize things, you should probably just copy/paste the
built-in config. But if you really want, you can override it using regular
JavaScript stuff.
Create a .prettierrc.js
file in your project root with the following content:
import defaultConfig from '@epic-web/config/prettier'
export default {
...defaultConfig,
}
TypeScript
Create a tsconfig.json
file in your project root with the following content:
{
"extends": ["@epic-web/config/typescript"],
"include": [
"@epic-web/config/reset.d.ts",
"**/*.ts",
"**/*.tsx",
"**/*.js",
"**/*.jsx"
],
"compilerOptions": {
"paths": {
"#app/*": ["./app/*"],
"#tests/*": ["./tests/*"]
}
}
}

ESLint
Create a eslint.config.js
file in your project root with the following
content:
import { config as defaultConfig } from '@epic-web/config/eslint'
export default [...defaultConfig]
Customizing ESLint

the Eslint docs here.
There are endless rules we could enable. However, we want to keep our
configurations minimal and only enable rules that catch real problems (the kind
that are likely to happen). This keeps our linting faster and reduces the number
of false positives.
