ESLint VS XO

There are two tools for that: Prettier and ESLint.

ESLint: Also static analysis

For the linter, I chose ESLINT. I chose it because ESLINT is a very common linter for javascript code, and there's a lot of useful guides on setting it up. Here's the link for ESLINT: https://eslint.org/

ESLint is another VSCode extension and/or npm module that can be used to check for lint warnings and errors live while programming, or with a simple command run. I chose ESLint as I have chosen to have it in react projects in the past and figured it would be easy to start with. The documentation can be found here

ESLint

To catch common coding issues and enforce best practices, I chose ESLint as the linter for the Barrierless project. ESLint is highly configurable, and it integrates well with JavaScript projects, identifying potential errors, bad practices, and non-standard code.

For my linter I chose ESLint. Similar to Prettier I have never set it up. The docs for ESLint was kinda hard to follow. But similar to prettier I went to the docs then to the get started. Followed and ran the scripts to install it by running npm init @eslint/config@latest. After I ran

For linting, my go-to is usually ESLint. Unlike formatting, which is meant to keep your code clean and readable, linting helps detect issues in your code, such as unused variables, attempts to change an immutable variable, and many more. ESLint is my go-to because I always use Airbnb's ESLint Configurations in my projects. ESLint allows you to set many rules for your source code, such as using a specific naming convention, forbidding vanilla for-loops, or prefix and postfix operators, restricting single exports in a file to export default, and many more.

Consider using a linter: A linter can help you catch potential errors and enforce coding standards in your project. Popular linters for JavaScript include ESLint and Prettier.

ESLint: Finds JavaScript problems

You may be torn between those famous code styles, struggling to choose one between Airbnb JavaScript Style, Google JavaScript Style Guide, JavaScript Standard Style, or XO, among others.

Usually you would pick a config you like and set it up for your project, notable ones are already mentioned but I'll mention more:

XO

The developer told me we could not do that because the linter we are using. (XO)[https://github.com/xojs/xo] started complaining.

Real world example: you are using create-react-app, and you want to also to use xo, as both come with their own version of ESLint pre-installed, you could end up with 2 ESLint installed.

One of the biggest hassles to update was the linter we are using: XO, which is a very opinionated, but customizable linter base on ESlint.
