eslint-plugin-rxjs-updated

This repo is solely meant to update cartant's eslint-plugin-rxjs package to be compatible with eslint v9.

PRs will not be accepted for new features or bug fixes. Reach out to the original maintainer.

npm install eslint-plugin-rxjs-updated

eslint-plugin-rxjs

This package contains a bunch of ESLint rules for RxJS. Essentially, it's a re-implementation of the rules that are in the rxjs-tslint-rules package. (The Angular-specific rules in rxjs-tslint-rules have been re-implemented in eslint-plugin-rxjs-angular.)

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.

Almost all of these rules require the TypeScript parser for ESLint.

Install

Install the ESLint TypeScript parser using npm:

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

Install the package using npm:

npm install eslint-plugin-rxjs --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: ["rxjs"],
  extends: [],
  rules: {
    "rxjs/no-async-subscribe": "error",
    "rxjs/no-ignored-observable": "error",
    "rxjs/no-ignored-subscription": "error",
    "rxjs/no-nested-subscribe": "error",
    "rxjs/no-unbound-methods": "error",
    "rxjs/throw-error": "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:rxjs/recommended"],
};
