Have you ever had to configure ESLint and Prettier so that they do not conflict with each other?

Yes, it is often necessary to configure ESLint and Prettier so that they do not conflict. Prettier is responsible for code formatting, while ESLint handles code quality and style, so their rules can overlap.

To avoid conflicts:

  • In ESLint, disable rules that duplicate Prettier's formatting using the eslint-config-prettier plugin.
  • In the ESLint configuration, add extends: ['prettier'] to disable conflicting rules.
  • Configure Prettier separately, usually through .prettierrc.

Example of ESLint configuration with Prettier:

{
  "extends": ["eslint:recommended", "plugin:react/recommended", "prettier"],
  "plugins": ["prettier"],
  "rules": {
    "prettier/prettier": "error"
  }
}

This allows using Prettier for formatting and ESLint for quality checks without conflicts.
