ESLint
configurable static analysis rules and plugins
Why learn ESLint?
Useful for project-specific correctness and consistency checks. Parser support, rule compatibility, and formatter overlap should be configured deliberately.
Where it came from
ESLint analyzes JavaScript and supported syntax through configurable rules, parsers, and plugins. It reports code patterns that violate the configured policies.
