Install

- npm: npm i -D eslint-plugin-baseline-js
- pnpm: pnpm add -D eslint-plugin-baseline-js
- yarn: yarn add -D eslint-plugin-baseline-js

Recommended
- ESLint >= 8.57 (Flat Config)

Quick Start (Flat Config)

``js
// eslint.config.js
import baselineJs from "eslint-plugin-baseline-js";

export default [
{
files: ["*/.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}"],
plugins: { "baseline-js": baselineJs },
rules: {
// Allow only "widely available" Baseline features
"baseline-js/use-baseline": ["error", { available: "widely" }],
},
},
];
`

Preset Configs

This plugin ships Flat Config presets you can call from configs:

`js
import baselineJs from "eslint-plugin-baseline-js";

export default
// Register the plugin once (required for Flat Config)
{ plugins: { "baseline-js": baselineJs } },

// Recommended: enables Web APIs & JS builtins detection with preset: 'auto'.
// Level defaults to 'error'; pass level to change severity
baselineJs.configs.recommended({ available: "widely", level: "warn" }),

// TypeScript-aware: requires type info for instance-member checks (preset: 'type-aware').
// Works best with @typescript-eslint/parser and a proper tsconfig.
// baselineJs.configs["recommended-ts",
];
`

Note on plugin key
- Presets assume the plugin is registered under the key "baseline-js".

See more real-world configs in examples/

Common Configurations

`js
// Newly available (more permissive)
'baseline-js/use-baseline': ['warn', { available: 'newly' }];

// Year-based – allow features that became Baseline in or before 2020
'baseline-js/use-baseline': ['error', { available: 2020 }];

// Ignore knobs for pragmatic adoption
'baseline-js/use-baseline': [
'error',
{
available: 2018,
// Skip specific web-features by ID (or regex as '/.../')
ignoreFeatures: ['nullish-coalescing', '/^optional-/'],
// Skip reports produced on certain ESTree node types
ignoreNodeTypes: ['WithStatement', '/Expression$/'],
},
];

// Turn off in tests or generated folders (ESLint standard overrides)
export default [
{ / project defaults ... / },
{
files: ['/.test.', 'coverage/'],
rules: { 'baseline-js/use-baseline': 'off' },
},
];
`

What Gets Reported?

> Features from web‑features (group: "javascript") that exceed your configured Baseline.

| Baseline setting | Reports when... |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| "widely" | the feature is not in Baseline “high” |
| "newly" | the feature is marked as limited (false) |
| year (number) | the feature’s Baseline year is greater than year |

$3

How It Works

1. Data → scripts/data/build-features.mjs
- Extracts the minimal JavaScript subset from web‑features into src/baseline/data/features.javascript.ts.
2. Mapping → src/baseline/mapping/syntax.ts
- Maps web‑features IDs to underlying rules (prefer eslint-plugin-es-x / ESLint core; custom rules only when necessary).
3. Resolution → src/baseline/resolve.ts
- Classifies “beyond baseline” by bucket (high/low/false → widely/newly/limited) or year.

Coverage

We publish a generated coverage report that lists all JavaScript features from web‑features
and shows which ones are currently mapped by this plugin.

- Report: docs/coverage.md
- Regenerate locally: pnpm gen:coverage
- Generator: scripts/coverage/generate-coverage.mjs

Options (rule)

| Option | Type | Default | Description |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------- | ---------- | ----------- |
| baseline | widely, newly, number, widely | Baseline level or year (alias: available). |
| ignoreFeatures | string[] | — | Skip specific web‑features by ID (supports regex /.../) across syntax delegates and Web API/JS builtin detection. |
| ignoreNodeTypes | string[] | — | Suppress reports by ESTree node.type (supports regex /.../`). |

Baseline for HTML and CSS

Baseline works best when HTML, CSS, and JS all align. For markup and styles, enable the "use-baseline" rules from these ESLint plugins:

- ESLint for CSS: https://github.com/eslint/css
- HTML ESLint: https://github.com/yeonjuan/html-eslint
