eslint-config-core

1.2.0 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

eslint-config-core is an ESLint shareable configuration based on the Airbnb JavaScript style guide. The current stable version is 1.2.0. It has a slow release cadence and minimal updates. Its key differentiator is that it directly wraps the Airbnb ESLint rules with no additional customization, serving as a minimal alternative to full Airbnb presets.
