tomevault-io ESLint & Prettier Configuration
Setup consistent code quality and formatting with ESLint and Prettier.
Core Workflow
- Install dependencies: ESLint, Prettier, plugins
- Configure ESLint: Rules and extends
- Configure Prettier: Formatting options
- Integrate tools: ESLint + Prettier
- Setup scripts: Lint and format commands
- Add hooks: Pre-commit validation

meta: {
type: 'problem',
docs: {
description: 'Disallow direct process.env access',
},
messages: {
noDirectEnv: 'Use config module instead of direct process.env access',
},
},
create(context) {
return {
MemberExpression(node) {
if (
node.object.type === 'MemberExpression' &&
node.object.object.name === 'process' &&
node.object.property.name === 'env'
) {
context.report({
node,
messageId: 'noDirectEnv',
});
}
},
};
},

Best Practices
- Extend carefully: Order matters in extends
- Use type-checking: Enable type-aware rules
- Consistent imports: Enforce import ordering
- Prettier last: Always extend prettier last
- Auto-fix on save: Configure VS Code
- Pre-commit hooks: Validate before commit
- CI validation: Run lint in CI pipeline
- Progressive adoption: Start with warnings
Output Checklist
Every ESLint/Prettier setup should include:
- ESLint configuration (flat or legacy)
- TypeScript-ESLint integration
- React/React Hooks rules
- Import ordering rules
- Prettier configuration
- ESLint-Prettier integration
- VS Code settings
- Husky pre-commit hooks
- lint-staged configuration
- CI lint validation
- Ignore patterns
- npm scripts for lint/format
