AI ESLint Config Generator
Consistent Code Quality Without the Configuration Pain
Setting up ESLint involves choosing between dozens of plugins, resolving rule conflicts, configuring parsers for TypeScript, and deciding on hundreds of individual rules. Our generator handles all of this complexity, producing a configuration that enforces consistent quality standards without the hours of research and trial-and-error typically required.
Catch Bugs Before They Reach Production
ESLint does more than enforce style — it catches real bugs like unused variables, unreachable code, unsafe type operations, and missing dependency arrays in React hooks. Our generated configurations enable the rules that catch the most impactful issues, helping your team ship higher quality code with every commit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use flat config or legacy format?
ESLint 9+ uses the flat config format (eslint.config.js) as the default, and it is recommended for new projects. Flat config is simpler, uses standard JavaScript exports, and eliminates the cascading confusion of multiple .eslintrc files. Legacy format is still supported for existing projects. Our generator handles both formats correctly with proper syntax.
What plugins does the generator include?
Plugins are tailored to your project type. React projects get eslint-plugin-react, react-hooks, and jsx-a11y. Vue projects get eslint-plugin-vue. TypeScript projects get @typescript-eslint/parser and plugin. All projects can include eslint-plugin-import for import ordering and eslint-plugin-unused-imports for dead import detection.
How do I handle rule conflicts between plugins?
The generator resolves common conflicts automatically. For TypeScript projects, it disables base ESLint rules that conflict with @typescript-eslint equivalents like no-unused-vars versus @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars. For framework-specific rules, it sets appropriate overrides so linting rules work harmoniously without false positives.
What does the strictness level control?
Relaxed mode only enables rules that catch actual errors — no style preferences. Recommended mode adds standard rules from eslint:recommended and framework-specific recommended configs. Strict mode enables opinionated rules enforcing best practices like consistent function styles, exhaustive switch statements, explicit return types, and stricter type checking.
Does the generator list required npm packages?
Yes, the output includes a comment block or separate section listing all npm packages that need to be installed as dev dependencies — the ESLint package itself, parser packages, and all referenced plugins. A ready-to-run npm install or yarn add command is provided so you can set up the dependencies with a single copy-paste.
