    "plugins": [
        "@gorazdo/preact"
    ]
}

Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.

{
    "rules": {
        "@gorazdo/preact/forbid-render-arguments": 2,
        "@gorazdo/preact/prefer-classname": 2
    }
}

Supported Rules

forbid-render-arguments

Preact allows you to consume props and state in Class-based components directly from the arguments of render() method like this: render(props, state).

Although, it is possible it has downsides:

1. It is incompatible with React library;
2. It is required to re-type arguments in Typescript like this: render(props: MyProps, state: MyState);
3. On Typescript page of Preact docs authors of the library use this.props.

prefer-classname

Preact allows you to use class as JSX Attribute. With preact/compat it is possible to use className.

There is a great discussion why Preact uses class and React className. Although, consider the following theses:

1. class is still a reserved word in Javascript, which means that the syntax is limited;
2. className has a wider usage over class.
