eslint-config-important-stuff

1.1.0 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

An ESLint configuration aimed at catching bugs without being overly strict or annoying. Version 1.1.0 is the latest stable release, focusing on production-ready rules for JavaScript and React projects. It avoids stylistic rules and opinionated formatting, making it a lighter alternative to configs like eslint-config-airbnb. The package is actively maintained with monthly releases.

Warnings

breaking v1.0.0 removed all React-specific settings that previously existed in earlier alpha versions. ↓

fix If you rely on React linting, manually add eslint-plugin-react and configure rules.

gotcha The config does not include any formatting rules; you must use Prettier or another formatter separately. ↓

fix Install and configure prettier or eslint-plugin-prettier.

deprecated The rule 'no-var' is enabled, enforcing let/const; ensure your codebase uses ES6+. ↓

fix Update any var declarations to let or const.
