prettier-eslint-config

1.0.7 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

A CLI tool that auto-generates ESLint and Prettier configuration files for projects, currently supporting TypeScript configurations only. Version 1.0.7 is the latest stable release, with no fixed release cadence. Differentiators: eliminates manual config setup for ESLint+Prettier via a single global command. Limitations: only TypeScript ESLint/Prettier configs are generated; JavaScript support is listed as TODO. Works globally (npm i -g).

Common errors

error prelint: command not found ↓

cause Package installed locally instead of globally.

fix

npm uninstall prettier-eslint-config && npm install -g prettier-eslint-config

error Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'path/to/project/.eslintrc.json' ↓

cause The tool may not have permission or the directory does not exist.

fix

Ensure you run prelint init inside a valid project directory. If the directory is empty, create a minimal package.json first.

Warnings

gotcha Global installation is required. If installed locally, 'prelint' command will not be available. ↓

fix Install with -g flag: npm install -g prettier-eslint-config

gotcha Only TypeScript configurations are generated. JavaScript support is not yet implemented. ↓

fix Manually create .eslintrc.json and .prettierrc for JavaScript projects.

breaking The tool overwrites existing .eslintrc.json and .prettierrc files without backup. ↓

fix Back up existing config files before running prelint init.

Install

npm install prettier-eslint-config

Must be installed globally. Local install will not expose the 'prelint' command.

Quickstart

Installs the tool globally and generates ESLint + Prettier config files in the current project directory.

# Install globally
npm install -g prettier-eslint-config

# Navigate to your project and initialize
cd my-project
prelint init

# This creates .eslintrc.json and .prettierrc files based on TypeScript templates.
