pretty-standard

3.0.1 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript maintenance

An ESLint shareable config that combines StandardJS linting rules (excluding stylistic rules) with Prettier formatting. Version 3.0.1 requires ESLint 6, eslint-plugin-promise 4.2.1+, and eslint-plugin-react 7.14.2+ as peer dependencies. Unlike eslint-config-standard, this config strips out style rules to avoid conflicts with Prettier. It is a lightweight alternative to full Standard or eslint-config-prettier setups, intended specifically for React projects. The package is rarely updated but stable for its target ESLint version range.

Common errors

error Error: Failed to load plugin 'promise' declared in '.eslintrc.json': Cannot find module 'eslint-plugin-promise' ↓

cause Missing peer dependency eslint-plugin-promise.

fix

npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-promise@^4.2.1

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

cause Missing peer dependency eslint-plugin-react.

fix

npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-react@^7.14.2

error Warning: React version not specified in eslint-plugin-react settings. See https://github.com/yannickcr/eslint-plugin-react#configuration ↓

cause eslint-plugin-react needs a React version setting from the project.

fix

Add 'settings': { 'react': { 'version': 'detect' } } to your ESLint config or set a specific version.

Warnings

breaking Version 3.0.0 dropped support for ESLint < 6; peer dependency 'eslint': '^6'. ↓

fix Ensure ESLint 6.x is installed. For ESLint 5, use eslint-config-pretty-standard@2.x.

deprecated ESLint 6 is end-of-life. The config does not support ESLint 7+. ↓

fix Consider migrating to a maintained config like eslint-config-prettier or eslint-config-standard-with-typescript.

gotcha This config automatically disables all ESLint rules that conflict with Prettier. Do NOT manually disable inline style-related rules. ↓

fix Let Prettier handle formatting; avoid adding ESLint style rules (e.g., semi, quotes) to your config.

gotcha The config requires eslint-plugin-react even if you don't use React, but it does not require eslint-plugin-import. ↓

fix Install eslint-plugin-react as a dev dependency or consider using a different config if not using React.

Install

npm install eslint-config-pretty-standard

yarn add eslint-config-pretty-standard

pnpm add eslint-config-pretty-standard

Imports

config
wrong
```
{
  "extends": ["eslint-config-pretty-standard"]
}
```
correct
```
{
  "extends": ["pretty-standard"]
}
```
ESLint automatically resolves the eslint-config- prefix; use 'pretty-standard' not the full package name.

config (file extension)

wrong

// .eslintrc.json (incorrect if using .js extension)
{
  "extends": ["pretty-standard"]
}

correct

// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
  extends: ['pretty-standard']
}

For .eslintrc.js files, use module.exports = { extends: [...] }; .eslintrc.json expects plain JSON.

config (nested)
wrong
```
{
  "extends": ["pretty-standard"],
  "rules": {
    "no-console": "error"
  }
}
```
correct
```
{
  "extends": ["pretty-standard"]
}
```
You can override rules, but be aware that this config already disables many stylistic rules in favor of Prettier.

Quickstart

Install peer dependencies and add the config to an ESLint config file. No need to add the eslint-config- prefix.

npm install --save-dev eslint-config-pretty-standard eslint prettier

// .eslintrc.json
{
  "extends": ["pretty-standard"]
}
