📌 Task Description

Integrate ESLint with Prettier to ensure consistent code formatting and enforce coding standards in your project. This setup task will guide you through the process of configuring ESLint and Prettier to work together seamlessly.

✅ Checklist

To complete this setup task, follow these steps:

Step 1: Install ESLint and Prettier

Install ESLint and Prettier as dev dependencies in your project using npm or yarn:

npm install eslint prettier --save-dev

or

yarn add eslint prettier --dev

Step 2: Configure ESLint

Create a new file named .eslintrc.json in the root of your project and add the following configuration:

{
  "extends": ["plugin:prettier/recommended"],
  "plugins": ["prettier"],
  "rules": {
    "prettier/prettier": "error"
  }
}

This configuration tells ESLint to extend the Prettier recommended configuration and enables the Prettier plugin.

Step 3: Configure Prettier

Create a new file named .prettierrc.json in the root of your project and add the following configuration:

{
  "printWidth": 120,
  "tabWidth": 2,
  "useTabs": false,
  "semi": true,
  "singleQuote": true,
  "trailingComma": "all",
  "bracketSpacing": true,
  "jsxBracketSameLine": true,
  "arrowParens": "avoid",
  "proseWrap": "preserve"
}

This configuration sets the Prettier options to your liking.

Step 4: Integrate ESLint and Prettier

Create a new file named .eslintignore in the root of your project and add the following configuration:

node_modules/
.prettierignore

This configuration tells ESLint to ignore the node_modules directory and the .prettierrc.json file.
