eslint-config-react-tools

1.1.7 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript abandoned

A shareable ESLint configuration tailored for React projects using react-tools. Version 1.1.7 is the latest stable release, but the package has very little adoption and is not actively maintained. It provides a preset of rules for linting React applications, but lacks documentation, changelog, or updates for modern ESLint and React versions. Unlike more popular configs like eslint-config-react-app or eslint-config-airbnb, this package offers minimal customization and is essentially a wrapper around a small set of ESLint rules.

Common errors

error Error: Failed to load config "react-tools" to extend from. ↓

cause The package is not installed or the extends name is incorrect.

fix

Run npm install eslint-config-react-tools --save-dev and ensure extends: ['react-tools'] (no prefix).

error Error: Cannot find module 'eslint-config-react-tools' ↓

cause Package not installed or ESLint cannot resolve it due to missing dependencies.

fix

Ensure the package is in node_modules. Try reinstalling with npm install eslint-config-react-tools --save-dev.

error Configuration for rule 'react-tools/xxx' is invalid ↓

cause Rule name is misspelled or does not exist.

fix

Check the source of eslint-config-react-tools for valid rules. Likely the rule does not exist.

Warnings

deprecated Package has not been updated since 2017 and is effectively abandoned. ↓

fix Migrate to a maintained alternative like eslint-config-airbnb or eslint-config-react-app.

gotcha Configuration is CommonJS only and will not work with ESLint's flat config system (>=9.0.0). ↓

fix Use eslint-config-react-tools only with legacy eslintrc config. For flat config, switch to modern alternatives.

gotcha No documentation or changelog available; version 1.1.7 is the latest but breaking changes unknown. ↓

fix Inspect the source code directly on GitHub to understand rules.

npm install eslint-config-react-tools

The plugin name in eslint is 'react-tools', not the full package name.

rules

If using scoped rules, prefix with 'react-tools/'.

module.exports = {
  extends: ['react-tools']
};

// Or in package.json:
// "eslintConfig": { "extends": ["react-tools"] }

// Then run: npx eslint src/
