changed-files VS ESLint

We need to add two additional steps. The first one is to retrieve all new files, and the second one is to run the enhanced config only on the new files. In this example the third-party GitHub Action called changed-files is used to obtain the new files. In the GitHub Marketplace for Actions, there is a considerable number of similar actions with similar functionality. You can choose the one that suits you best, as the functionality is more or less the same for all of them.

I determined this after dozens of attempts working with the other GitHub Action, tj-actions/changed-files which feeds a list of modified files to clang-format-lint.

GitHub actions has actions that do similar, I’ve used this one before with great success: https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files

You could also clean up your changed files job by using this (https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files) or something similar. That would at least make it easier to understand what it's supposed to be doing. You can use it to get the directories containing any changed package.json files. Then use that output as as a matrix input.

Let's be honest - setting up tools for a new project can be a frustrating process. Especially when you want to jump straight to coding part. This is often the case with ESLint and Prettier, two popular tools in the JavaScript ecosystem that can sometimes interfere with each other when it comes to code formatting. Fortunately, there's a simple solution to this process, and it's called eslint-plugin-prettier.

Do you have the need to find and fix problems in your JavaScript? Then ESLint is for you. With over 120 million downloads each month, it's definitely one of the most popular projects out there. The latest version introduces a new configuration system, designed to simplify available configuration options. Old and deprecated rules have been removed, and a new configuration inspector has been added. Check out the blog for all the highlights, and a migration guide.

ESLint: A pluggable and configurable linter tool for identifying and reporting on patterns in JavaScript.

Automating code checks with static code analysis allows us to enforce code styling effectively. By integrating tools into our workflow, we can identify errors at an early stage, while coding instead of blocking us at the end. For instance, flake8 checks Python code for style and errors, eslint performs similar checks for JavaScript, and prettier automatically formats code to maintain consistency.

If you're a developer, you're surely familiar with Prettier and ESLint. With over 8 years of existence, they have established themselves as references in the JavaScript ecosystem.

eslint is used to avoid code errors

No lint errors: The committed code does not contain any lint errors (eslint).

Let’s walk through the steps for a one-time setup to configure husky pre-commit and pre-push hooks, ESLint with code styles conventions, prettier code formatter, and lint-staged. Husky automatically runs a script on each commit or push. This is useful for linting files to enforce code styles that keeps the entire code base following conventions.
