Lint and Format Code

Oxlint + Oxfmt

Oxlint and Oxfmt are next-generation, Rust-based tools from the Oxc (JavaScript Oxidation Compiler) ecosystem, designed to replace traditional JavaScript/TypeScript linters and formatters with a heavy emphasis on speed and developer experience.

Installation

Javascript projects

pnpm add -D oxlint oxfmt
TypeScript projects

pnpm add -D oxlint oxfmt oxlint-tsgolint typescript vue-tsc

Package.json scripts

/package.json

"scripts": {
  "lint": "oxfmt && oxlint --fix",
  "lint:check": "oxfmt --check && oxlint",
  "typecheck": "vue-tsc --noEmit"
}

Configuration files

Create the following files:

oxlint configuration

{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/oxlint/configuration_schema.json",

  "ignorePatterns": [
    "**/node_modules/",
    "dist/",
    "quasar.config.*.temporary.compiled*",
    ".quasar/",
    "src-cordova/",
    "src-capacitor/"
  ],

  "options": {
    "maxWarnings": 10
  },

  "plugins": ["vue", "import", "eslint", "promise", "unicorn"],

  "categories": {
    "correctness": "error"
    // "style": "error",
    // "pedantic": "warn",
    // "suspicious": "error",
    // "perf": "error",
    // "restriction": "error"
  },

  "rules": {},

  "env": {
    "builtin": true
  }
}
oxfmt configuration

{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/oxfmt/configuration_schema.json",

  "ignorePatterns": [
    "**/node_modules/",
    "dist/",
    "quasar.config.*.temporary.compiled*",
    ".quasar/",
    "src-cordova/",
    "src-capacitor/"
  ],

  "printWidth": 80,
  "arrowParens": "avoid",
  "bracketSpacing": true,
  "bracketSameLine": false,
  "htmlWhitespaceSensitivity": "strict",
  "semi": false,
  "singleQuote": true,
  "quoteProps": "as-needed",
  "trailingComma": "none",
  "useTabs": false,
  "vueIndentScriptAndStyle": false
}

VSCode configuration

/.vscode/settings.json

{
  "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
    "source.fixAll.oxc": "always"
  },
  "oxc.fmt.configPath": ".oxfmtrc.json",
  "editor.defaultFormatter": "oxc.oxc-vscode",
  "editor.formatOnSave": true
}

Play nice with other devs using your project and recommend them to install the appropriate extension. And don’t forget to install it yourself too:

/.vscode/extensions.json

{
  "recommendations": ["oxc.oxc-vscode"]
}

ESLint + Prettier

Having a code linter (like ESLint v9+) in place is highly recommended and ensures your code looks legible. It also helps you capture some errors before even running the code.

When you scaffold a Quasar project folder it will ask you if you want ESLint (also prettier as a code formatter).

Javascript projects

Needed dependencies


pnpm add -D @eslint/js eslint@9 eslint-plugin-vue vue-eslint-parser globals vite-plugin-checker

If you want prettier as a code formatter, then install these too:


pnpm add -D prettier@3 @vue/eslint-config-prettier

Performance and ignoring files

WARNING

Please be sure to ignore unused files to increase performance. If you lint unused files/folders the UX will degrade significantly.

You can ignore files by editing your /eslint.config.js file:

/eslint.config.js

export default [
  {
    /**
     * Ignore the following files.
     * Please note that pluginQuasar.configs.recommended() already ignores
     * the "node_modules" folder for you (and all other Quasar project
     * relevant folders and files).
     *
     * ESLint requires "ignores" key to be the only one in this object
     */
    ignores: [] // <<<---- here!
  },

Notice that pluginQuasar.configs.recommended() from a few sections above will add the following to your ESLint ignores setting (no need to add them yourself too!):

// not an exhaustive list auto-added to "ignores"
;[
  'dist/*',
  'src-capacitor/*',
  'src-cordova/*',
  '.quasar/*',
  'quasar.config.*.temporary.compiled*'
]

Lint Rules

The linting rules can be removed, changed, or added. Notice some things:

  • Some rules are standard ESLint ones. Example: ‘brace-style’.
  • Some rules are for eslint-plugin-vue. Example: ‘vue/max-attributes-per-line’.

You can add/remove/change rules by first visiting https://eslint.org/docs/rules/ or https://eslint.vuejs.org/rules.
