eslint-config-kyt

1.6.3 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

ESLint configuration for kyt projects, maintained by The New York Times. Current stable version is 1.6.3, part of the kyt monorepo with infrequent releases and no known recent breaking changes. It provides a comprehensive set of ESLint rules for React, Jest, JSON, Prettier, and import ordering, based on Airbnb's config. Unlike generic configs, it is tailored for kyt's webpack-based setup and includes Babel parser support. Suitable for Node.js and browser environments.

Common errors

error Error: Failed to load plugin 'react' declared in 'kyt': Cannot find module 'eslint-plugin-react' ↓

cause Missing peer dependency

fix

Install all peer dependencies: npx install-peerdeps eslint-config-kyt

error Error: .eslintrc.js: Configuration for rule 'react/jsx-filename-extension' is invalid ↓

cause Rule options changed in newer plugin version

fix

Update rule format per eslint-plugin-react docs, e.g., use ['error', { extensions: ['.jsx'] }]

Warnings

deprecated Some rules from eslint-config-airbnb may be deprecated in newer ESLint versions ↓

fix Check rule compatibility with ESLint 7 and above; consider updating peer deps.

gotcha Requires specific peer dependencies; missing any causes runtime errors ↓

fix Run npx install-peerdeps eslint-config-kyt to install all peers.

breaking Version 1.x might have incompatible rule changes compared to 0.x ↓

fix Review changelog for rule updates when upgrading from 0.x.

gotcha The config assumes Babel parser; non-React projects may need parser adjustments ↓

fix Override parser if not using Babel, e.g., parser: '@typescript-eslint/parser'.

Install

npm install eslint-config-kyt

yarn add eslint-config-kyt

pnpm add eslint-config-kyt

Imports

default config
wrong
```
extends: 'eslint-config-kyt'
```
correct
```
module.exports = {
  extends: ['kyt'],
};
```
Use 'kyt' in extends, not the full package name. This is the shareable config pattern.
Namespaced config for React
wrong
```
extends: ['eslint-config-kyt/react']
```
correct
```
module.exports = {
  extends: ['kyt/react'],
};
```
Prefer short name 'kyt/react' over full package path.

CommonJS require

wrong

import config from 'eslint-config-kyt';

correct

const config = require('eslint-config-kyt');

Package is CJS only; ESM import may fail in some setups.

Quickstart

Basic ESLint configuration using eslint-config-kyt with a custom rule override and environment settings.

// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
  extends: ['kyt'],
  rules: {
    'react/jsx-filename-extension': ['error', { extensions: ['.jsx'] }],
  },
  env: {
    browser: true,
    es2021: true,
  },
};

// Install peer dependencies
// npx install-peerdeps eslint-config-kyt
