Deprecate Remix ESLint Config

[brophdawg11]

ESLint is an opinion, that's more stacks territory than Remix territory.

Chatted with Michael and we think we should

• First, remove this dependency from all of our templates
• Also remove it from the stacks and duplicate the simplest set of plugins and recommended "extends" setups in stacks (react, typescript, jest, etc)
• Wait a few months 🕐 🕐
• Deprecate the @remix-run/eslint config in v2 with a warning on install

I think a plugin for Remix specific stuff would be great, with a default config, but the config is not related to Remix so it makes sense to deprecate it

First, remove this dependency from all of our templates

@brophdawg11 Would this mean we have no ESLint setup at all anymore in the templates?
Or would we also just set the recommended configs on the plugins (ESLint, import, react, react-hooks, jsx-a11y) that are currently used in the config?
If so, I guess we can sometimes extend those recommended configs with some extra information (like providing the Form, Link & NavLink components to the configs) as that's what we currently also do and I think it can help people out

I believe that's where we're leaning. Templates are not meant to be opinionated - they're meant to be the simplest way to spin up a working Remix app. ESLint is, by design, quite opinionated so we'd like it to become a stacks choice. Even then we want the stacks to make very few choices and rely on best practices in the form of "recommended" presets. Then app teams are free to modify as needed once they create their app from a stack.

As a relative newcomer to modern JavaScript without a real code style of my own when I started using Remix, I appreciated the eslint plugin.

The stacks have been converted to simpler ESLint configs and no longer depend on @remix-run/eslint-config:

• Simplify ESLint Config indie-stack#261
• Simplify ESLint configuration blues-stack#215
• Simplify ESLint configuration grunge-stack#172

Deprecate Remix ESLint Config #7056

Currently, can the configuration of @remix-run/eslint-config and @remix-run/eslint-config/node be easily removed from a remix project created through pnpx create-remix@latest?

The template used in this is .eslintrc, however, I want to use eslint.config.js.

Although the file extension of eslint.config.js is js, it appears to be esm and cannot import @remix-run/eslint-config.

This is my first attempt at remix. I would like to ask if it is safe for me to develop and use it in a production environment without introducing @remix-run/eslint-config into my eslint system?

many thanks 🫡

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

without introducing @remix-run/eslint-config into my eslint system

Yes, you do not need @remix-run/eslint-config and it's no longer part of our stacks. We are moving towards a default slimmed down eslint config such as https://github.com/remix-run/indie-stack/blob/main/.eslintrc.js
