typescript-eslint VS ESLint

Typescript-eslint can assist in this task. This tool helps identify all instances of unsafe any usage. Specifically, all usages of JSON.parse can be found and it can be ensured that the received data's format is checked. More about getting rid of the any type in a codebase can be read in the article Making TypeScript Truly "Strongly Typed".

> Only lint files that have changed? How hard that is?

Quite hard, especially since type-aware rules from e.g. https://typescript-eslint.io/ mean that changing the type of a variable in file A can break your code in file B, even if file B hasn't changed.

The article only touches this: when converting to TypeScript, `any` is useful, but in the end you don't want this type in your codebase - so don't forget to use typescript-eslint [0] and turn on those no-unsafe-* rules which guard against `any` leaking into your code.

By convention, React components should be named in PascalCase. @typescript-eslint has the config we need, and though we can't specifically target React components, we can target variables (and set some other conventions while we're at it):

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.
