    "parserOptions": {

        "ecmaVersion": 2020
    },
    "rules": {
        "n/exports-style": ["error", "module.exports"],
        "n/file-extension-in-import": ["error", "always"],
        "n/prefer-global/buffer": ["error", "always"],
        "n/prefer-global/console": ["error", "always"],

        "n/prefer-global/url": ["error", "always"],
        "n/prefer-promises/dns": "error",
        "n/prefer-promises/fs": "error"
    }

🔧 Configs

This plugin provides three configs:

  • plugin:n/recommended considers both CommonJS and ES Modules. If "type":"module" field existed in package.json then it considers files as ES Modules. Otherwise it considers files as CommonJS. In addition, it considers *.mjs files as ES Modules and *.cjs files as CommonJS.
  • plugin:n/recommended-module considers all files as ES Modules.
  • plugin:n/recommended-script considers all files as CommonJS.

Those preset config:

  • enable no-process-exit rule because the official document does not recommend a use of process.exit().
  • enable plugin rules which are given ⭐ in the above table.
  • add {ecmaVersion: 2019} and etc into parserOptions.
  • add proper globals into globals.
  • add this plugin into plugins.
