eslint-plugin-etc

eslint-plugin-etc

This package contains a bunch of general-purpose, TypeScript-related ESLint rules. Essentially, it's a re-implementation of the rules that are in the tslint-etc package.

Some of the rules are rather opinionated and are not included in the recommended configuration. Developers can decide for themselves whether they want to enable opinionated rules.

Install

Install the ESLint TypeScript parser using npm:

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

Install the package using npm:

npm install eslint-plugin-etc --save-dev

Configure the parser and the parserOptions for ESLint. Here, I use a .eslintrc.js file for the configuration:

const { join } = require("path");
module.exports = {
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  parserOptions: {
    ecmaVersion: 2019,
    project: join(__dirname, "./tsconfig.json"),
    sourceType: "module"
  },
  plugins: ["etc"],
  extends: [],
  rules: {
    "etc/no-t": "error"
  }
};

Or, using the recommended configuration:

const { join } = require("path");
module.exports = {
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  parserOptions: {
    ecmaVersion: 2019,
    project: join(__dirname, "./tsconfig.json"),
    sourceType: "module"
  },
  extends: ["plugin:etc/recommended"],
};

Rules

The package includes the following rules.

Rules marked with ✅ are recommended and rules marked with 🔧 have fixers.

Rule	Description
no-assign-mutated-array	Forbids the assignment of returned, mutated arrays.	✅
no-commented-out-code	Forbids commented-out code.
no-const-enum	Forbids the use of const enum. Constant enums are not compatible with isolated modules.
no-deprecated	Forbids the use of deprecated APIs.	✅
no-enum	Forbids the use of enum.
no-implicit-any-catch	Like the no-implicit-any-catch rule in @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin, but for Promise rejections instead of catch clauses.	✅	🔧
no-internal	Forbids the use of internal APIs.	✅
no-misused-generics	Forbids type parameters without inference sites and type parameters that don't add type safety to declarations. This is an ESLint port of Wotan's no-misused-generics rule. See also "The Golden Rule of Generics".
no-t	Forbids single-character type parameters.
prefer-interface	Forbids type aliases where interfaces can be used.		🔧
prefer-less-than	Forbids greater-than comparisons. (Yes, this is the rule for Ben Lesh comparisons.)		🔧
throw-error	Forbids throwing - or rejecting with - non-Error values.
underscore-internal	Forbids internal APIs that are not prefixed with underscores.
