**Built with ❤️ using modern web technologies**






If you are developing a production application, we recommend updating the configuration to enable type-aware lint rules:



```js

export default tseslint.config({

  extends: [

    // Remove ...tseslint.configs.recommended and replace with this

    ...tseslint.configs.recommendedTypeChecked,

    // Alternatively, use this for stricter rules

    ...tseslint.configs.strictTypeChecked,

    // Optionally, add this for stylistic rules

    ...tseslint.configs.stylisticTypeChecked,

  ],

  languageOptions: {

    // other options...

    parserOptions: {

      project: ['./tsconfig.node.json', './tsconfig.app.json'],

      tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,

    },

  },

});

```



You can also install [eslint-plugin-react-x](https://github.com/Rel1cx/eslint-react/tree/main/packages/plugins/eslint-plugin-react-x) and [eslint-plugin-react-dom](https://github.com/Rel1cx/eslint-react/tree/main/packages/plugins/eslint-plugin-react-dom) for React-specific lint rules:



```js

// eslint.config.js

import reactX from 'eslint-plugin-react-x';

import reactDom from 'eslint-plugin-react-dom';



export default tseslint.config({

  plugins: {

    // Add the react-x and react-dom plugins

    'react-x': reactX,

    'react-dom': reactDom,

  },

  rules: {

    // other rules...

    // Enable its recommended typescript rules

    ...reactX.configs['recommended-typescript'].rules,

    ...reactDom.configs.recommended.rules,

  },

});

```
