Quasar CLI with Vite - @quasar/app-vite
Linter

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


$ 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:


$ yarn add --dev 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.
