If you do not use a preset you will need to specify individual rules and add extra configuration.

Add "react" to the plugins section.

```json
{
"plugins": [
"react"
]
}
```

Enable JSX support.

With `eslint` 2+

```json
{
"parserOptions": {
"ecmaFeatures": {
"jsx": true
}
}
}
```

Enable the rules that you would like to use.

```json
"rules": {
"react/jsx-uses-react": "error",
"react/jsx-uses-vars": "error",
}
```

### Shareable configs

#### Recommended

This plugin exports a `recommended` configuration that enforces React good practices.

To enable this configuration use the `extends` property in your `.eslintrc` config file:

```json
{
"extends": ["eslint:recommended", "plugin:react/recommended"]
}
```

See [`eslint` documentation](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring/configuration-files#extending-configuration-files) for more information about extending configuration files.

#### All

This plugin also exports an `all` configuration that includes every available rule.
This pairs well with the `eslint:all` rule.

```json
{
"plugins": [
"react"
],
"extends": ["eslint:all", "plugin:react/all"]
}
```

**Note**: These configurations will import `eslint-plugin-react` and enable JSX in [parser options](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring/language-options#specifying-parser-options).

## Configuration (new: `eslint.config.js`)

From [`v8.21.0`](https://github.com/eslint/eslint/releases/tag/v8.21.0), eslint announced a new config system.
In the new system, `.eslintrc*` is no longer used. `eslint.config.js` would be the default config file name.
In eslint `v8`, the legacy system (`.eslintrc*`) would still be supported, while in eslint `v9`, only the new system would be supported.

And from [`v8.23.0`](https://github.com/eslint/eslint/releases/tag/v8.23.0), eslint CLI starts to look up `eslint.config.js`.
**So, if your eslint is `>=8.23.0`, you're 100% ready to use the new config system.**

and the [official docs](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/user-guide/configuring/configuration-files-new).

### Plugin

The default export of `eslint-plugin-react` is a plugin object.

```js
const react = require('eslint-plugin-react');
const globals = require('globals');

module.exports = [
…
{
files: ['**/*.{js,jsx,mjs,cjs,ts,tsx}'],
plugins: {
react,
},
languageOptions: {
parserOptions: {
ecmaFeatures: {
jsx: true,
},
},
globals: {
...globals.browser,
},
},
rules: {
// ... any rules you want
'react/jsx-uses-react': 'error',
'react/jsx-uses-vars': 'error',
},
// ... others are omitted for brevity
},
…
];
```

### Configuring shared settings

Refer to the [official docs](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/user-guide/configuring/configuration-files-new#configuring-shared-settings).

The schema of the `settings.react` object would be identical to that of what's already described above in the legacy config section.

### Flat Configs

This plugin exports 3 flat configs:

- `flat.all`
- `flat.recommended`
- `flat['jsx-runtime']`

The flat configs are available via the root plugin import. They will configure the plugin under the `react/` namespace and enable JSX in [`languageOptions.parserOptions`](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/language-options#specifying-parser-options).

```js
const reactPlugin = require('eslint-plugin-react');

module.exports = [
…
reactPlugin.configs.flat.recommended, // This is not a plugin object, but a shareable config object
reactPlugin.configs.flat['jsx-runtime'], // Add this if you are using React 17+
…
];
```

You can of course add/override some properties.

**Note**: Our shareable configs does not preconfigure `files` or [`languageOptions.globals`](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/user-guide/configuring/configuration-files-new#configuration-objects).
For most of the cases, you probably want to configure some properties by yourself.

```js
const reactPlugin = require('eslint-plugin-react');
const globals = require('globals');

module.exports = [
…
{
files: ['**/*.{js,mjs,cjs,jsx,mjsx,ts,tsx,mtsx}'],
...reactPlugin.configs.flat.recommended,
languageOptions: {
...reactPlugin.configs.flat.recommended.languageOptions,
globals: {
...globals.serviceworker,
...globals.browser,
},
},
},
…
];
```

The above example is same as the example below, as the new config system is based on chaining.

```js
const reactPlugin = require('eslint-plugin-react');
const globals = require('globals');

module.exports = [
…
{
files: ['**/*.{js,mjs,cjs,jsx,mjsx,ts,tsx,mtsx}'],
...reactPlugin.configs.flat.recommended,
},
{
files: ['**/*.{js,mjs,cjs,jsx,mjsx,ts,tsx,mtsx}'],
languageOptions: {
globals: {
...globals.serviceworker,
...globals.browser,
},
},
},
…
];
```
