| 1 | +# Configuration |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Rslint uses a configuration file to define linting rules and behavior. This page describes all the configuration options available. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Configuration File |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Rslint looks for configuration files in the following order: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- `rslint.json` |
| 10 | +- `rslint.jsonc` (JSON with comments) |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +You can also specify a custom configuration file using the `--config` option: |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +```bash |
| 15 | +rslint --config custom-config.json |
| 16 | +``` |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +### Creating a Configuration File |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +To create a default configuration file, run: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +```bash |
| 23 | +rslint --init |
| 24 | +``` |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +This creates a `rslint.jsonc` file with sensible defaults. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Configuration Format |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +The configuration file contains an array of configuration entries. Each entry defines rules and options for matching files: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +```jsonc |
| 33 | +[ |
| 34 | + { |
| 35 | + "ignores": ["./dist/**", "./node_modules/**"], |
| 36 | + "languageOptions": { |
| 37 | + "parserOptions": { |
| 38 | + "project": ["./tsconfig.json"], |
| 39 | + }, |
| 40 | + }, |
| 41 | + "rules": { |
| 42 | + "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": "error", |
| 43 | + "@typescript-eslint/array-type": ["warn", { "default": "array-simple" }], |
| 44 | + }, |
| 45 | + "plugins": ["@typescript-eslint"], |
| 46 | + }, |
| 47 | +] |
| 48 | +``` |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## Configuration Options |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +### ignores |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +- **Type:** `string[]` |
| 55 | +- **Default:** `[]` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +An array of glob patterns for files and directories to ignore during linting. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +```jsonc |
| 60 | +{ |
| 61 | + "ignores": [ |
| 62 | + "./dist/**", |
| 63 | + "./build/**", |
| 64 | + "./node_modules/**", |
| 65 | + "**/*.d.ts", |
| 66 | + "./tests/**/fixtures/**", |
| 67 | + ], |
| 68 | +} |
| 69 | +``` |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +Patterns support: |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +- **Glob patterns**: `*.js`, `**/*.ts` |
| 74 | +- **Directory patterns**: `dist/**`, `node_modules/**` |
| 75 | +- **Negation**: `!important.ts` (when used with other patterns) |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +### languageOptions |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +- **Type:** `object` |
| 80 | +- **Default:** `{}` |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +Language-specific configuration options. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +#### languageOptions.parserOptions |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +- **Type:** `object` |
| 87 | +- **Default:** `{}` |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +Parser configuration for TypeScript analysis. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +##### languageOptions.parserOptions.project |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +- **Type:** `string[]` |
| 94 | +- **Default:** `["./tsconfig.json"]` |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +Array of TypeScript project configuration files. Rslint will lint all files included in these TypeScript projects. |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +```jsonc |
| 99 | +{ |
| 100 | + "languageOptions": { |
| 101 | + "parserOptions": { |
| 102 | + "project": [ |
| 103 | + "./tsconfig.json", |
| 104 | + "./packages/*/tsconfig.json", |
| 105 | + "./apps/*/tsconfig.json", |
| 106 | + ], |
| 107 | + }, |
| 108 | + }, |
| 109 | +} |
| 110 | +``` |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +This is especially useful for monorepos where you have multiple TypeScript projects. |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +### rules |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +- **Type:** `object` |
| 117 | +- **Default:** `{}` |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +Configuration for linting rules. Rules can be configured in several formats: |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +#### String Format |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +```jsonc |
| 124 | +{ |
| 125 | + "rules": { |
| 126 | + "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": "error", |
| 127 | + "@typescript-eslint/prefer-const": "warn", |
| 128 | + "@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any": "off", |
| 129 | + }, |
| 130 | +} |
| 131 | +``` |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +Valid severity levels: |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +- `"error"` - Rule violations cause linting to fail |
| 136 | +- `"warn"` - Rule violations produce warnings |
| 137 | +- `"off"` - Rule is disabled |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +#### Array Format |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +For rules that accept configuration options: |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +```jsonc |
| 144 | +{ |
| 145 | + "rules": { |
| 146 | + "@typescript-eslint/array-type": ["error", { "default": "array-simple" }], |
| 147 | + "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": [ |
| 148 | + "warn", |
| 149 | + { |
| 150 | + "vars": "all", |
| 151 | + "args": "after-used", |
| 152 | + "ignoreRestSiblings": false, |
| 153 | + }, |
| 154 | + ], |
| 155 | + }, |
| 156 | +} |
| 157 | +``` |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +#### Object Format |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +Alternative object-based configuration: |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +```jsonc |
| 164 | +{ |
| 165 | + "rules": { |
| 166 | + "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": { |
| 167 | + "level": "error", |
| 168 | + "options": { |
| 169 | + "vars": "all", |
| 170 | + "args": "after-used", |
| 171 | + }, |
| 172 | + }, |
| 173 | + }, |
| 174 | +} |
| 175 | +``` |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +### plugins |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +- **Type:** `string[]` |
| 180 | +- **Default:** `[]` |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +Array of plugins to enable. When a plugin is enabled, all its implemented rules are automatically available with default configurations. |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +```jsonc |
| 185 | +{ |
| 186 | + "plugins": ["@typescript-eslint", "eslint-plugin-import"], |
| 187 | +} |
| 188 | +``` |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +#### Available Plugins |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +##### @typescript-eslint |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +Enables TypeScript-specific linting rules. This is the most commonly used plugin for TypeScript projects. |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +```jsonc |
| 197 | +{ |
| 198 | + "plugins": ["@typescript-eslint"], |
| 199 | + "rules": { |
| 200 | + // TypeScript-specific rules are now available |
| 201 | + "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": "error", |
| 202 | + "@typescript-eslint/prefer-const": "warn", |
| 203 | + }, |
| 204 | +} |
| 205 | +``` |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +##### eslint-plugin-import |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +Enables import/export related rules for better module management. |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | +```jsonc |
| 212 | +{ |
| 213 | + "plugins": ["eslint-plugin-import"], |
| 214 | + "rules": { |
| 215 | + // Import rules are now available |
| 216 | + "import/no-unresolved": "error", |
| 217 | + "import/order": "warn", |
| 218 | + }, |
| 219 | +} |
| 220 | +``` |
| 221 | + |
| 222 | +## Complete Example |
| 223 | + |
| 224 | +Here's a comprehensive configuration example for a typical TypeScript project: |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | +```jsonc |
| 227 | +[ |
| 228 | + { |
| 229 | + // Ignore build outputs and dependencies |
