Team Setup & Shared Configurations

Scaling configurations

Large teams benefit from centralized ESLint configs. Extract shared rules into a package (@org/eslint-config) and use it across all projects.

Shared config package

Structure for creating a reusable ESLint config package.

# Create @myorg/eslint-config package
mkdir -p packages/eslint-config
cd packages/eslint-config
npm init -y

# Add to package.json
{
  "name": "@myorg/eslint-config",
  "main": "index.js",
  "peerDependencies": { "eslint": "^8.0.0" }
}

# index.js exports the config
module.exports = {
  extends: ['eslint:recommended'],
  rules: { /* team rules */ }
};

Output:

Shared ESLint config package created

Version control configs

Store shareable configs in your main repo or as separate npm packages. Version them and let teams update at their pace.
