Linter Product Plan and Progress

[Boshen]

Product Plan

Create a linter that is

• zero-config
• only checks for correctness errors (code that is outright wrong or useless) - definition from Rust Clippy

See also: Oxlint General Availability Annoucement

Plugins

For plugins, the goal is to port most of the popular ones. The community has implemented 270 rules and the list is growing. Any form of contribution is much appreciated!

Contributing

oxc-project.github.io contains both learning materials and contribution guides:

• Getting started
• Linter usage
• Linter development
• Linter architecture

Note

Oxlint does not implement any stylistic / formatting rules due to

• eslint removed them from the core.
• all stylistic rules are moved to the https://eslint.style community.

Any plans to add eslint-plugin-perfectionist rules? It is becoming quite popular, 1.5 K stars. Just looking forward to fully migrate to amazing and promising OXC stack!

This rule fits well in the formatter but not the linter. Its documentation says "I love Prettier. However, this is not his area of responsibility." But we are an integrated toolchain, things differ a little :-)

So the answer to your question "Any plans to add eslint-plugin-perfectionist rules" is currently no, but it's doable once we have more manpower and also the formatter ready.

Thanks! Hopefully after the OXC linter core will be ready, we will be able to use some AI tools to convert ESLint linters to OXC/Rust :)

Appreciate your efforts. Your tool is incredible. Looking forward to use it.
What about this plugins:

1. @angular-eslint
2. eslint-plugin-unused-imports
3. @nrwl/eslint-plugin-nx
4. eslint-plugin-filename-rules

Ready for testing to help you implement this (since i dont know Rust yet ;D)
Thanks in advance

I would love love it if eslint-plugin-vue got added. Vue has to employ unique parsing for SFCs.

[heyitsarpit]

very useful plugin for react dev time performance - eslint-plugin-react-refresh

[DonIsaac]

#4445

[tobiasdiez]

Graphql support would be nice as well: https://the-guild.dev/graphql/eslint/rules

[OskarLebuda]

Have you consider to add support for eslint-plugin-airbnb? There are a lot of useful rules that a lot of project uses.

[matschik]

I would love if eslint-plugin-svelte got added. Svelte has to employ unique parsing for *.svelte files.

[xaddict]

oxc looks nice. I have copied over all rules from my .eslintrc.json file. Will there be a future addition where oxlint will log which rules aren't supported from the rules property? Possibly because some of them belong in the formatter category instead of the linter one?

[pumano]

@Boshen @DonIsaac I suggest to add to tasks from first post one column to table with "fixer" yes/no.

because rule may exist, but fixer not implemented for example and that case is only found problems, but not help to fix it, which eslint did. That "fixer" column help to understand support of fixers for rules

[TheElegantCoding]

I will like to see @stylistic/eslint-plugin
, eslint-plugin-tailwindcss And also eslint-plugin-astro

[MattisAbrahamsson]

Would be great to see eslint-plugin-react-compiler make it into oxlint, this is the slowest rule in our project right now

[kbrilla]

What about nrwl/nx boundries plugin?

[pumano]

What about nrwl/nx boundries plugin?

I would love to dig into it, to check how they implement it, I personally need it too)

UPD: enforce-module-boundaries use underlying nx graph API, which is accessible inside eslint rule from @nx/devkit package. Currently not possible to use that API from rust, but NX team have plans to move their core to rust in 2025. After that happened we can try back to understand it's possible or not, or try to propose feature request to nx team.

@nuxt/eslint-config - Static ESLint Config
@nuxt/eslint-plugin - ESLint Plugin

When will oxlint considered as stable and usable in production ?
When all the eslint recommended rules of the above categories will be implemented ?

Oxlint is usable right now.

It's subject to further breaking changes but it's quite ready for production use.

The website alerts :
"

At the current stage, oxlint is not intended to fully replace ESLint; it serves as an enhancement when ESLint's slowness becomes a bottleneck in your workflow.

We recommend running oxlint before ESLint in your lint-staged or CI setup for a quicker feedback loop, considering it only takes a few seconds to run on large codebases.
"

When is it planned oxlint could replace eslint ? (Except for custom plugins, pr specific ones)

[robw-mercury]

Are there plans to support a JS config file, ideally that follows some of the ESLint flat config patterns? Our repos are using the flat config and it would be very helpful to share some config and settings between ESLint and OXLint.

Thank you for creating this amazing tool. We're looking forward to using all of the Oxc tools as they become available.
