📈 Tracking: Flat Config support

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

👋 Hi all! With flat config stabilized and ESLint v9 on the horizon, many community plugins are adding native support for flat config. The Configuration Migration Guide provides docs on how to do that.

This is a tracking issue of the ~50 ~65 or so most popular community integrations and plugins for ESLint. We'll keep this list updated over time.

See also 📈 Tracking: ESLint v9 support for plugins additionally supporting ESLint v9.

What counts as “supported”? eslint-plugin-simple-import-sort is currently marked as “❌ Not supported; no issue filed”. I got curious and tried to use it with this flat config:

import simpleImportSort from "eslint-plugin-simple-import-sort";

export default [
  {
    plugins: {
      "simple-import-sort": simpleImportSort,
    },
    rules: {
      "simple-import-sort/imports": "error",
      "simple-import-sort/exports": "error",
    }
  }
];

It worked! What does it take to earn the precious ✅ emoji?

[bradzacher]

@lydell in your case you're pretty close already because the plugin provides no configs, no processors, no globals, etc. Your plugin will "just work" in flat configs because of that.

The only thing you're really missing is plugin metadata: https://eslint.org/docs/latest/extend/plugin-migration-flat-config#adding-plugin-meta-information

[dasa]

This is great! Here's a couple more:

• eslint-plugin-jsdoc: has flat support
• eslint-plugin-regexp: has an issue

[aladdin-add]

xo does not support it yet: xojs/xo#702

@lydell

What counts as “supported”?

Another level of "support" is for the ESLint plugin packages to have TypeScript types. I intend to have type-safe ESLint flat config in my projects, and many ESLint plugins currently don't publish types for their exports, because before flat config it was ESLint that was importing the modules, instead of consumers in their projects. Some plugin packages that export types are broken for TypeScript in nodenext mode, which should be the gold standard for determining the status of TypeScript support since it's the only mode that actually reflects how CJS and ESM interop in current Node.js versions (as well as modern bundlers) actually works.

It would be great if the tracking table in this issue description were to have another status column for TypeScript support.

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

Thanks a great idea @jaydenseric, adding now! (sorry for the delay)

I'm also adding @types/eslint, as that will need to be updated to have the new types too.

[rhysd]

Hi, I created a PR to support flat config at eslint-plugin-mocha repository:

lo1tuma/eslint-plugin-mocha#349

EDIT: The PR was merged and shipped as eslint-plugin-mocha 10.4.0.

[voxpelli]

Would be good to get eslint-community/eslint-utils#183 / eslint-community/eslint-utils#186 in there as well, as it may be a blocker for quite a few other modules

[silverwind]

Can eslint-plugin-i be added to the list? With 136k weekly downloads, I think it easily qualifies as popular. It being a soft for of eslint-plugin-import likely means it won't gain support before it, but it is good to track, I opened un-ts/eslint-plugin-import-x#29 there.

[voxpelli]

What's the officially suggested peer-dependency range for someone who wants to support eg. ESLint 8 and later, including pre-releases of ESLint 9?

I think the algorithm for npm is what causes some struggles with some here: npm/rfcs#397 (comment)

And as I wrote in eslint-community/eslint-utils#183 (comment), I think ^8.0.0 || >=9.0.0-0 may be the solution, but it may inadvertently cause some end-users to get the pre-release of ESLint 9 installed indirectly if one ships ^8.0.0 || >=9.0.0-0 as the peer dependency range of a stable module.

FYI, that plugin was renamed to eslint-plugin-import-x and flat config support will come in that package.

[jlarmstrongiv]

Would it be possible to add npm eslint-plugin-no-use-extend-native with tracking issue dustinspecker/eslint-plugin-no-use-extend-native#136 ?

[aladdin-add]

@jlarmstrongiv Out of curiosity: is it even maintained? the last version was published ~4 years ago!

[silverwind]

It may not be maintained but it sure is popular.

[vhoyer]

I'm working on it for vue a11y: vue-a11y/eslint-plugin-vuejs-accessibility#1073

I've just merged and release flat support for eslint-plugin-vuejs-accessibility in version 2.3.0.

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

Would it be possible to also track eslint 9 compatibility in this list ?

Voila: #18391. Good idea!

Note that #18391 only tracks plugins that already have flat config support. I didn't want that table to become a superset of this one - that'd be harder to read and also harder to maintain. So that table has a much higher percentage of ✅s than this one. 😄

I also added a small note to the bottom of each post: these aren't automatically updated. I just update them every time I'm pinged, or when I have spare minutes a few times a week. If something gets out-of-date for more than a couple of days, please do post a note here and we'll get that updated. 🚀

[ljharb]

It's worth noting that since #18087 is a blocker for the import plugin, it's also a blocker for the airbnb and airbnb-base configs (the latter of which isn't in the table yet), and for the react and jsx-a11y plugins.

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

@ljharb just to clarify: why does it also block the react and jsx-a11y plugins?

[ljharb]

oh actually you're right, that's about blocking v9 support, not about flat config.

[controversial]

@ljharb what outcome from #18087 is blocking eslint-plugin-import?

The messages in that issue thread seem to suggest that the resolution would be to proceed without a direct alternative to FileEnumerator, instead using a glob/walk function alongside isFileIgnored/isDirectoryIgnored.

[ljharb]

@controversial yes, but eslint hasn't shipped that yet, and seemingly won't until i'm able to confirm that approach would work.

[controversial]

@ljharb oh yeah - that makes sense. so to my understanding, eslint-plugin-import would need to:

• develop a proof-of-concept update off of eslint’s issue18087-poc branch
• confirm it works
• then, wait for eslint to ship a version of the API from issue18087-poc in 9.x
• finally, ship an eslint-plugin-import update requiring eslint@^9.x ?

[ljharb]

Yes, except for the last step - i'm not shipping any breaking changes, so v9 support would be additive.

[Logicer16]

@JoshuaKGoldberg I think you might have the wrong issue for eslint-plugin-import-x. un-ts/eslint-plugin-import-x#29 is still open and unresolved. The issues you have in the list are for v9 support.

[zglicz]

eslint-plugin-sonar v1.0.3 now supports the flat config
