eslint-plugin-rxjs

!NPM Version
!CI

An upgrade of eslint-plugin-rxjs to support modern TypeScript and ESLint. ie, Flat Config as well as legacy config.

Since some rules have better implementations in other more generic ESLint packages, they have been removed and noted here as to the appropriate replacements.

The tests have been upgraded to use standard TypeScript and ESLint test helpers.

All existing unit tests pass.

This plugin now works with both Flat Config and Legacy Config. Pay attention to the example below.

Install

Install the ESLint TypeScript parser using npm:

`` bash
npm install @typescript-eslint/parser --save-dev
`

Install the package using npm:

` bash
npm install @smarttools/eslint-plugin-rxjs --save-dev
`

Configure the parser and the parserOptions for ESLint. Here, I use a .eslintrc.js file for the configuration:

$3

` js
const rxjs = require('@smarttools/eslint-plugin-rxjs');

module.exports = [{
files: ['*/'],
plugins: {
rxjs,
},
},{
files: ['*/.ts'],
// languageOptions here
rules: {
'rxjs/no-async-subscribe': 'error',
...etc.
},
}];
`

$3

` js
const { join } = require("path");
module.exports = {
parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
// parserOptions here
plugins: ["@smarttools/rxjs"],
extends: [],
rules: {
"@smarttools/rxjs/no-async-subscribe": "error",
...etc.
}
};
`

Or, using the recommended configuration:

Note: The recommended configuration uses rules that require type checking. You will need to supply the parsing options as specified in the TypeScript ESLint documentation.

$3

` js
const rxjs = require('@smarttools/eslint-plugin-rxjs');

module.exports = [
rxjs.configs.recommended,
{
files: ['*/.ts'],
plugins: {
rxjs,
},
},
// additional rules
];
`

$3

` js
const { join } = require("path");
module.exports = {
parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
// parserOptions here
extends: ["plugin:@smarttools/rxjs/recommended-legacy"],
};

`
