Oxlint Configuration File

This configuration is aligned with ESLint v8's configuration schema (eslintrc.json).

Usage: oxlint -c oxlintrc.json --import-plugin

NOTE

Only the .json format is supported. You can use comments in configuration files.

Example

.oxlintrc.json

json
{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/oxlint/configuration_schema.json",
  "plugins": ["import", "typescript", "unicorn"],
  "env": {
    "browser": true
  },
  "globals": {
    "foo": "readonly"
  },
  "settings": {},
  "rules": {
    "eqeqeq": "warn",
    "import/no-cycle": "error"
  },
  "overrides": [
    {
      "files": ["*.test.ts", "*.spec.ts"],
      "rules": {
        "@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any": "off"
      }
    }
  ]
}

categories

type: object

Configure an entire category of rules all at once.

Rules enabled or disabled this way will be overwritten by individual rules in the rules field.

Example

json
{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/oxlint/configuration_schema.json",
  "categories": {
    "correctness": "warn"
  },
  "rules": {
    "eslint/no-unused-vars": "error"
  }
}

categories.correctness

categories.nursery

categories.pedantic

categories.perf

categories.restriction

categories.style

categories.suspicious

env

type: Record<string, boolean>

Predefine global variables.

Environments specify what global variables are predefined. See ESLint's list of environments for what environments are available and what each one provides.

globals

type: Record<string, string>

Add or remove global variables.

For each global variable, set the corresponding value equal to "writable" to allow the variable to be overwritten or "readonly" to disallow overwriting.

Globals can be disabled by setting their value to "off". For example, in an environment where most Es2015 globals are available but Promise is unavailable, you might use this config:

json
{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/oxlint/configuration_schema.json",
  "env": {
    "es6": true
  },
  "globals": {
    "Promise": "off"
  }
}

You may also use "readable" or false to represent "readonly", and "writeable" or true to represent "writable".

ignorePatterns

type: string[]

default: []

Globs to ignore during linting. These are resolved from the configuration file path.

overrides

type: array

overrides[n]

type: object

overrides[n].files

type: string[]

overrides[n].rules

type: object

plugins

type: string[]

settings

type: object

Configure the behavior of linter plugins.

Here's an example if you're using Next.js in a monorepo:

json
{
  "settings": {
    "next": {
      "rootDir": "apps/dashboard/"
    },
    "react": {
      "linkComponents": [
        {
          "name": "Link",
          "linkAttribute": "to"
        }
      ]
    },
    "jsx-a11y": {
      "components": {
        "Link": "a",
        "Button": "button"
      }
    }
  }
}

settings.jsdoc

type: object

settings.jsdoc.augmentsExtendsReplacesDocs

type: boolean

default: false

Only for require-(yields|returns|description|example|param|throws) rule

settings.jsdoc.exemptDestructuredRootsFromChecks

type: boolean

default: false

Only for require-param-type and require-param-description rule

settings.jsdoc.ignoreInternal

type: boolean

default: false

For all rules but NOT apply to empty-tags rule

settings.jsdoc.ignorePrivate

type: boolean

default: false

For all rules but NOT apply to check-access and empty-tags rule

settings.jsdoc.ignoreReplacesDocs

type: boolean

default: true

Only for require-(yields|returns|description|example|param|throws) rule

settings.jsdoc.implementsReplacesDocs

type: boolean

default: false

Only for require-(yields|returns|description|example|param|throws) rule

settings.jsdoc.overrideReplacesDocs

type: boolean

default: true

Only for require-(yields|returns|description|example|param|throws) rule

settings.jsdoc.tagNamePreference

type: object

default: {}

settings.jsx-a11y

type: object

Configure JSX A11y plugin rules.

See eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y's configuration for a full reference.

settings.jsx-a11y.components

type: Record<string, string>

default: {}

To have your custom components be checked as DOM elements, you can provide a mapping of your component names to the DOM element name.

Example:

json { "settings": { "jsx-a11y": { "components": { "Link": "a", "IconButton": "button" } } } }

settings.jsx-a11y.polymorphicPropName

type: [ string, null ]

An optional setting that define the prop your code uses to create polymorphic components. This setting will be used to determine the element type in rules that require semantic context.

For example, if you set the polymorphicPropName to as, then this element:

jsx <Box as="h3">Hello</Box>

Will be treated as an h3. If not set, this component will be treated as a Box.

settings.next

type: object

Configure Next.js plugin rules.

settings.next.rootDir

settings.react

type: object

Configure React plugin rules.

settings.react.formComponents

type: array

default: []

Components used as alternatives to <form> for forms, such as <Formik>.

Example:

jsonc { "settings": { "react": { "formComponents": [ "CustomForm", // OtherForm is considered a form component and has an endpoint attribute { "name": "OtherForm", "formAttribute": "endpoint" }, // allows specifying multiple properties if necessary { "name": "Form", "formAttribute": ["registerEndpoint", "loginEndpoint"] } ] } } }

settings.react.formComponents[n]

settings.react.linkComponents

type: array

default: []

Components used as alternatives to <a> for linking, such as <Link>.

Example:

jsonc { "settings": { "react": { "linkComponents": [ "HyperLink", // Use `linkAttribute` for components that use a different prop name // than `href`. { "name": "MyLink", "linkAttribute": "to" }, // allows specifying multiple properties if necessary { "name": "Link", "linkAttribute": ["to", "href"] } ] } } }

settings.react.linkComponents[n]
