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).

Needed dependencies
$ yarn add --dev @eslint/js eslint@9 eslint-plugin-vue globals vite-plugin-checker
If you want prettier
as a code formatter, then install these too:

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:
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.
