===================
React specific linting rules for eslint
npm install eslint eslint-plugin-react --save-dev
It is also possible to install ESLint globally rather than locally (using npm install -g eslint
). However, this is not recommended, and any plugins or shareable configs that you use must be installed locally in either case.
Use our preset to get reasonable defaults:
"extends": [
"eslint:recommended",
"plugin:react/recommended"
]
If you are using the new JSX transform from React 17, extend react/jsx-runtime
in your eslint config (add "plugin:react/jsx-runtime"
to "extends"
) to disable the relevant rules.
You should also specify settings that will be shared across all the plugin rules. (More about eslint shared settings)
{
"settings": {
"react": {
"createClass": "createReactClass", // Regex for Component Factory to use,
// default to "createReactClass"
"pragma": "React", // Pragma to use, default to "React"
"fragment": "Fragment", // Fragment to use (may be a property of <pragma>), default to "Fragment"
"version": "detect", // React version. "detect" automatically picks the version you have installed.
// You can also use `16.0`, `16.3`, etc, if you want to override the detected value.
// Defaults to the "defaultVersion" setting and warns if missing, and to "detect" in the future
"defaultVersion": "", // Default React version to use when the version you have installed cannot be detected.
// If not provided, defaults to the latest React version.
"flowVersion": "0.53" // Flow version
},
"propWrapperFunctions": [
// The names of any function used to wrap propTypes, e.g. `forbidExtraProps`. If this isn't set, any propTypes wrapped in a function will be skipped.
"forbidExtraProps",
{"property": "freeze", "object": "Object"},
{"property": "myFavoriteWrapper"},
// for rules that check exact prop wrappers
{"property": "forbidExtraProps", "exact": true}
],
"componentWrapperFunctions": [
// The name of any function used to wrap components, e.g. Mobx `observer` function. If this isn't set, components wrapped by these functions will be skipped.
"observer", // `property`
{"property": "styled"}, // `object` is optional
{"property": "observer", "object": "Mobx"},
{"property": "observer", "object": "<pragma>"} // sets `object` to whatever value `settings.react.pragma` is set to
],
"formComponents": [
// Components used as alternatives to <form> for forms, eg. <Form endpoint={ url } />
"CustomForm",
{"name": "SimpleForm", "formAttribute": "endpoint"},
{"name": "Form", "formAttribute": ["registerEndpoint", "loginEndpoint"]}, // allows specifying multiple properties if necessary
],
"linkComponents": [
// Components used as alternatives to <a> for linking, eg. <Link to={ url } />
"Hyperlink",
{"name": "MyLink", "linkAttribute": "to"},
{"name": "Link", "linkAttribute": ["to", "href"]}, // allows specifying multiple properties if necessary
]
}
}
If you do not use a preset you will need to specify individual rules and add extra configuration.
Add "react" to the plugins section.
{
"plugins": [
"react"
]
}
Enable JSX support.
With eslint
2+
{
"parserOptions": {
"ecmaFeatures": {
"jsx": true
}
}
}
Enable the rules that you would like to use.
"rules": {
"react/jsx-uses-react": "error",
"react/jsx-uses-vars": "error",
}
This plugin exports a recommended
configuration that enforces React good practices.
To enable this configuration use the extends
property in your .eslintrc
config file:
{
"extends": ["eslint:recommended", "plugin:react/recommended"]
}
See eslint
documentation for more information about extending configuration files.
This plugin also exports an all
configuration that includes every available rule.
This pairs well with the eslint:all
rule.
{
"plugins": [
"react"
],
"extends": ["eslint:all", "plugin:react/all"]
}
Note: These configurations will import eslint-plugin-react
and enable JSX in parser options.
From v8.21.0
, eslint announced a new config system.
In the new system, .eslintrc*
is no longer used. eslint.config.js
would be the default config file name.
In eslint v8
, the legacy system (.eslintrc*
) would still be supported, while in eslint v9
, only the new system would be supported.
And from v8.23.0
, eslint CLI starts to look up eslint.config.js
.
So, if your eslint is >=8.23.0
, you're 100% ready to use the new config system.
You might want to check out the official blog posts,
- https://eslint.org/blog/2022/08/new-config-system-part-1/
- https://eslint.org/blog/2022/08/new-config-system-part-2/
- https://eslint.org/blog/2022/08/new-config-system-part-3/
and the official docs.
The default export of eslint-plugin-react
is a plugin object.
const react = require('eslint-plugin-react');
const globals = require('globals');
module.exports = [
β¦
{
files: ['**/*.{js,jsx,mjs,cjs,ts,tsx}'],
plugins: {
react,
},
languageOptions: {
parserOptions: {
ecmaFeatures: {
jsx: true,
},
},
globals: {
...globals.browser,
},
},
rules: {
// ... any rules you want
'react/jsx-uses-react': 'error',
'react/jsx-uses-vars': 'error',
},
// ... others are omitted for brevity
},
β¦
];
Refer to the official docs.
The schema of the settings.react
object would be identical to that of what's already described above in the legacy config section.
This plugin exports 3 flat configs:
flat.all
flat.recommended
flat['jsx-runtime']
The flat configs are available via the root plugin import. They will configure the plugin under the react/
namespace and enable JSX in languageOptions.parserOptions
.
const reactPlugin = require('eslint-plugin-react');
module.exports = [
β¦
reactPlugin.configs.flat.recommended, // This is not a plugin object, but a shareable config object
reactPlugin.configs.flat['jsx-runtime'], // Add this if you are using React 17+
β¦
];
You can of course add/override some properties.
Note: Our shareable configs does not preconfigure files
or languageOptions.globals
.
For most of the cases, you probably want to configure some properties by yourself.
const reactPlugin = require('eslint-plugin-react');
const globals = require('globals');
module.exports = [
β¦
{
files: ['**/*.{js,mjs,cjs,jsx,mjsx,ts,tsx,mtsx}'],
...reactPlugin.configs.flat.recommended,
languageOptions: {
...reactPlugin.configs.flat.recommended.languageOptions,
globals: {
...globals.serviceworker,
...globals.browser,
},
},
},
β¦
];
The above example is same as the example below, as the new config system is based on chaining.
const reactPlugin = require('eslint-plugin-react');
const globals = require('globals');
module.exports = [
β¦
{
files: ['**/*.{js,mjs,cjs,jsx,mjsx,ts,tsx,mtsx}'],
...reactPlugin.configs.flat.recommended,
},
{
files: ['**/*.{js,mjs,cjs,jsx,mjsx,ts,tsx,mtsx}'],
languageOptions: {
globals: {
...globals.serviceworker,
...globals.browser,
},
},
},
β¦
];
