React Compiler is a new compiler that we've open sourced to get early feedback from the community. It is a build-time only tool that automatically optimizes your React app. It works with plain JavaScript, and understands the [Rules of React](/reference/rules), so you don't need to rewrite any code to use it.

The compiler also includes an [eslint plugin](#installing-eslint-plugin-react-compiler) that surfaces the analysis from the compiler right in your editor. **We strongly recommend everyone use the linter today.** The linter does not require that you have the compiler installed, so you can use it even if you are not ready to try out the compiler.

The compiler is currently released as `beta`, and is available to try out on React 17+ apps and libraries. To install the Beta:

React Compiler also powers an eslint plugin. The eslint plugin can be used **independently** of the compiler, meaning you can use the eslint plugin even if you don't use the compiler.

I think this should be:

'eslint-plugin-react-compiler/react-compiler': 'error'

If not, you will get the following error:

[Error] Request textDocument/diagnostic failed.
  Message: Request textDocument/diagnostic failed with message: Key "rules": Key "react-compiler/react-compiler": Could not find plugin "react-compiler".

No, that's not how it works - check other plugin docs:

Yea @AnthonyLzq is right here

in flat config you can infer the plugin namespace in the plugins object ref here

in the example you shared the plugin namespace is react-x thats why rules are referred with react-x/

sorry @AnthonyLzq @harish-sethuraman I see what you mean now

I fixed it the more conventional way, by using 'react-compiler' as a key in the plugins object:

Or, in the deprecated eslintrc config format:

module.exports = {
plugins: [
'eslint-plugin-react-compiler',

rules: {

The eslint plugin will display any violations of the rules of React in your editor. When it does this, it means that the compiler has skipped over optimizing that component or hook. This is perfectly okay, and the compiler can recover and continue optimizing other components in your codebase.

<Note>
**You don't have to fix all eslint violations straight away.** You can address them at your own pace to increase the amount of components and hooks being optimized, but it is not required to fix everything before you can use the compiler.

Due to the flexible and dynamic nature of JavaScript however, it's not possible to comprehensively detect all cases. Bugs and undefined behavior such as infinite loops may occur in those cases.

If your app doesn't work properly after compilation and you aren't seeing any eslint errors, the compiler may be incorrectly compiling your code. To confirm this, try to make the issue go away by aggressively opting out any component or hook you think might be related via the [`"use no memo"` directive](#opt-out-of-the-compiler-for-a-component).
