ESLint Approves RFC to Add Support for TypeScript Config Fil...
Blog post from Socket
ESLint, a prominent tool for identifying patterns in ECMAScript/JavaScript code, has approved a proposal to support TypeScript configuration files, marking a significant step to enhance the developer experience in response to the growing adoption of TypeScript. This change allows developers to utilize TypeScript's compile-time type checks and IntelliSense directly within ESLint configurations, supporting files such as `eslint.config.ts`, `eslint.config.mts`, and `eslint.config.cts`. The proposal, contributed by Arya Emami, chose the tool jiti to parse TypeScript configurations without disrupting Node.js's native module resolution. As a result, this development aligns with TypeScript's increasing popularity and aims to streamline the setup process for TypeScript developers using ESLint, which is extensively integrated into frameworks like React and Angular. ESLint's widespread use, with over 36.8 million weekly npm downloads and heavy usage at major companies like Microsoft and Netflix, underscores the significance of this update, which will primarily impact TypeScript users while ensuring existing JavaScript configurations remain unaffected.
