Complete Lint

5.11.0 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript

complete-lint is a meta-package that bundles and configures ESLint and Prettier for TypeScript projects, providing a zero-config linting setup. Current stable version is 5.11.0, with active development and frequent releases. It simplifies TypeScript linting by handling dependencies and defaults, but requires typescript >=6.0.0. Unlike alternatives like eslint-config-prettier, complete-lint is a full meta-package that installs multiple tools and provides a unified configuration.
