How can I disable the error (prettier/prettier) on eslint?

Question

While coding, I was not using eslint. Now I installed it and it has flooded my editor with prettier/prettier errors, which by no way seem like they make my code prettier. I am looking to find a way to solve this.

prettierrc.js:

module.exports = {
  bracketSpacing: true,
  jsxBracketSameLine: false,
  singleQuote: true,
  trailingComma: 'all',
};

eslintrc.js:

module.exports = {
  root: true,
  extends: '@react-native-community',
};

And finally, some example code:

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {View, Text, Picker} from 'react-native';
import {connect} from 'react-redux';
import {employeeUpdate} from '../actions';
import {CardSection,  Input} from './common';

class EmployeeForm extends Component {
  render(){
    return (
      <View>
      <CardSection>
        <Input
          label="Name"
          placeholder="Marco"
          value={this.props.name}
          onChangeText={value => this.props.employeeUpdate({prop: 'name', value})}
        />
      </CardSection>

      <CardSection>
        <Input
          label="Phone"
          placeholder="555-5555"
          value={this.props.phone}
          onChangeText={value => this.props.employeeUpdate({prop: 'phone', value })}
        />
      </CardSection>

      <CardSection style={{ flexDirection: 'row'}}>
        <Text style={styles.pickerTextStyle}>Shift</Text>
        <Picker
        style={{flex: 1}}
        selectedValue={this.props.shift}
        onValueChange={value => this.props.employeeUpdate({prop: 'shift', value})}
        >
          <Picker.Item label="Monday" value="Monday" />
          <Picker.Item label="Tuesday" value="Tuesday"/>
          <Picker.Item label="Wednesday" value="Wednesday"/>
          <Picker.Item label="Thursday" value="Thursday"/>
          <Picker.Item label="Friday" value="Friday"/>
          <Picker.Item label="Saturday" value="Saturday"/>
          <Picker.Item label="Sunday" value="Sunday"/>
        </Picker>
      </CardSection>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

I am simply trying to remove the error since it is annoying to have thousands of red dots looking to make my code "prettier", which is not achieving.

Answer 1

Instead of disabling linting for the file, you can instead disable prettier within the eslintrc.js config file:

module.exports = {
  root: true,
  extends: '@react-native-community',
  rules: {
    'prettier/prettier': 0,
  },
};

You saved me hours of searching/config. IntelliJ IDEA wasn't fixing ESLint errors due to this. Thanks! – Sussna

is there a way to just stop errors in compile time? – Mistook

For my react-native project, this disables prettier indeed but not eslint yellow warnings – Fro

I can confirm this still works correctly with RN 0.66, so you may be seeing a different warning, or one come from another module. What rule is eslint returning warnings for? – Panathenaea

This just saved me hours of hair pulling. I swear, excessive linting is going to turn me bald someday. – Recommit

Glad to help! I really don't understand why they felt the need to make this default in the community package, when so many prefer not to use it. – Panathenaea

Thirded! Already spent hours pulling hair and this comment finally saved the day! @Panathenaea – Kelleykelli

@Fro did you get the solution? I don't like to add Semi-colons at the end of each line, but VS Code keeps highlighting these lines with yellow warnings. – Nim

@MuhammadTahirAli In VSCode's Problem area it should tell you which eslint rule is causing the warning, and more than likely it's coming from the default semicolon rule. Just set "semicolon": [0, "never"] in your eslintrc rules. – Panathenaea

Is there a way to set this property globally? It seems that I would have to do it for each project. – Boccie

@Boccie yes, you could use a global eslint config for this rule. – Panathenaea

can I disable some specific prettier rules as well from .eslintrc.json? Ex I just want to turn off trailing comma prettier rule @Panathenaea – Loera

@Loera I still don't think you can. You can find out more from the post here: https://mcmap.net/q/263295/-how-to-ignore-specific-rule-s-with-prettier – Panathenaea

Answer 2

To get rid of conflicting rules when using both - prettier and eslint there is a eslint-config-prettier package.

Run npm install --save-dev eslint-config-prettier to install and then in eslintrc.js (or wherever you have the eslint rules defined) add:

{
  "extends": [
    ...,
    "@react-native-community",
    "prettier"
  ]
}

Now eslint should respect prettier rules. Here is a link to GH repo.

I already had both packages but prettier was highlighting my vscode interface with errors - I dont need this as I have autofix on save which will fix everything without me even knowing that there were few unnecessary tabs. this was just annoying to see errors everywhere – Putscher

Answer 3

So I had both eslint-plugin-prettier and eslint-config-prettier on my package.json as devdependencies. I removed the eslint-config-prettier and it seemed to work for me.

//.eslintrc.js

module.exports = {
  root: true,
  extends: ['@react-native', 'prettier'],
  rules: {
    'react/react-in-jsx-scope': 'off',
    'react-native/no-inline-styles': 'off',
  },
};
