eslint-config-auto

library0.9.0jsnpmunverified

Automatically configure ESLint based on project dependencies. Version 0.9.0. Analyzes your package.json dependencies and selects appropriate Airbnb ESLint config and plugins (Babel, React, TypeScript, etc.) dynamically. Reduces manual ESLint config management. Notable for auto-detecting plugins like eslint-plugin-react, eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y, and more. Released under MIT license. Lower maintenance as of recent versions.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

eslint-config-auto

✓ extends: ['auto'] in .eslintrc

✗ import eslintConfigAuto from 'eslint-config-auto'

This is an ESLint config package, not a JavaScript import. Use in .eslintrc extends field.

auto

✓ { "extends": "auto" }

✗ { "extends": "eslint-config-auto" }

The shorthand 'auto' works because the package name starts with 'eslint-config-'. Long form also works but is unnecessary.

Shows install, config file setup, and typical ESLint usage with auto-detection of plugins.

// 1. Install npm install eslint-config-auto --save-dev // 2. Create .eslintrc.json { "extends": ["auto"], "settings": { "react": { "version": "detect" }, "compat": { "targets": ["> 1%", "last 2 versions", "not dead"] } } } // 3. Add scripts to package.json "scripts": { "lint": "eslint --ext .js,.jsx,.ts,.tsx src/", "lint:fix": "eslint --fix --ext .js,.jsx,.ts,.tsx src/" } // 4. Run first lint to get install instructions for plugins npm run lint

Debug

Known issues

breakingAuto-detected plugins are not installed automatically; run the command printed on first lint.

fix

Copy and paste the npm install output printed when you first run ESLint after adding eslint-config-auto.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaIf you customize rules, they may conflict with auto-detected plugin rules on future updates.

fix

Add your custom rules after the 'auto' extends, or disable specific rules in overrides.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaBabel parser is only set if babel is in devDependencies or settings.babel=true; otherwise default parser used.

fix

Add babel to devDependencies or set 'babel':true in settings if using transpiled code (e.g., create-react-app).

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedeslint-plugin-compat is only loaded if settings.compat = true; otherwise ignored.

fix

Explicitly set settings.compat = true in .eslintrc to enable compat checks.

affects: >=0.3.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Failed to load plugin 'xxx' declared in 'eslint-config-auto': Cannot find module 'eslint-plugin-xxx'

Required plugin not installed; eslint-config-auto expects all plugins to be present in node_modules.

fix

Run the npm install command printed in the eslint output (e.g., npm install eslint-plugin-react --save-dev)

Parsing error: Babel not found

Babel is required for certain syntax (JSX, Flow) but not installed or not in devDependencies.

fix

Add 'babel' to devDependencies or set settings.babel=true in .eslintrc
