ESLint configuration for edX JavaScript code.
The "@edx/eslint-config" is an essential npm package for developers working with edX JavaScript code, ensuring that the codebase remains clean, consistent, and error-free. This ESLint configuration encapsulates a set of predefined rules specifically tailored for edX's coding standards, promoting best practices and modern JavaScript functionalities. By leveraging this package, developers can automatically detect common coding errors and potential issues early in the development cycle, significantly reducing the risk of bugs. Additionally, it helps maintain the uniformity of code style across multiple projects and teams, facilitating easier code reviews and collaborations.
To integrate this powerful tool into your project, simply use the command 'npm install @edx/eslint-config'. This installation process is straightforward and integrates seamlessly into your existing JavaScript project, setting up in minutes. Once installed, it configures ESLint to enforce edX’s specific coding conventions, saving developers from the tedious task of manually defining each rule. This not only speeds up the setup process but also ensures that all team members adhere to the same set of standards, thus enhancing code quality and maintainability.
The benefits of using "@edx/eslint-config" extend beyond just maintaining coding standards. It also plays a crucial role in optimizing the development workflow by automating the process of code review. With this configuration, teams can catch and fix issues at a much earlier stage, which not only improves the overall quality of the application but also accelerates the development time by avoiding lengthy debugging sessions in later stages. Moreover, for educational technology platforms like edX, having a robust, error-free, and easily maintainable codebase is critical to delivering a seamless learning experience, making "@edx/eslint-config" an invaluable asset.

If you're using @edx/frontend-build, then you'll get this package for free. Otherwise, you can install it via:
npx install-peerdeps --dev @edx/eslint-config
This will install the package and all of its peer dependencies.
Then, once it's installed, create an .eslintrc.js
file in the top-level directory of your project with the following contents:
module.exports = {
extends: "@edx/eslint-config",
}
If @edx/eslint-config
detects a tsconfig.json
file in the root folder of your project, it will optionally configure ESLint to add support for TypeScript. If a tsconfig.json
file exists, the ESLint config will:
airbnb-typescript
(source).parserOptions.project
to point to the tsconfig.json
file in the root folder of your project.airbnb-typescript
may only be extended if a tsconfig.json
file exists in your project.
If your tsconfig.json
file is defined somewhere other than the root folder of your project, you may override the default ESLint configuration by extending airbnb-typescript
and including the path to your tsconfig.json
file in the parserOptions.project
ESLint configuration.
