Code Style

ESLint

ESLint helps find and fix code style issues and force developers to follow same rules. Current configuration is based on Airbnb style guide.

Additional commands:

npm run lint

Run it to check the current status of eslint issues across project.

npm run lint:fix

Run it to fix all possible issues.

Prettier

Prettier helps to format code based on defined rules. Difference between Prettier and ESLint.

Additional commands:

npm run format

Run it to format all files across the project.

VS Code

Following extensions required to simplify the process of keeping the same code style across the project:

• ESLint
• Prettier

After installation enable "ESLint on save" by adding to your VS Code settings.json the following line:

"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
    "source.fixAll.eslint": true
}

You can navigate to settings.json by using Command Pallete (CMD+Shift+P) and then type "Open settings.json".

To enable Prettier go to Preferences -> Settings -> type "Format". Then check that you have esbenp.prettier-vscode as default formatter, and also enable "Format On Save".

Reload VS Code and auto-format will work for you.
