Introduction
In this article, a WEB application will be created using the latest version of Angular and added the ESLint which analyzes the code statically to find problems with the JavaScript code.
Prerequisites
Before you start, you need to install and configure the tools below to create the Angular application.
- git: Git is a distributed version control system and it will be used to sync the repository.
- Node.js and npm: Node.js is a JavaScript code runtime software based on Google's V8 engine. npm is a package manager for Node.js (Node.js Package Manager). They will be used to build and run the Angular application and install the libraries.
- Angular CLI: Angular CLI is a command line utility tool for Angular and it will be used to create the base structure of the Angular application.
- IDE (e.g. Visual Studio Code or WebStorm): IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a tool with a graphical interface to help in the development of applications and it will be used to develop the Angular application.
Getting started
Create the Angular application
Angular is a development platform for building WEB, mobile and desktop applications using HTML, CSS and TypeScript (JavaScript). Currently, Angular is at version 14 and Google is the main maintainer of the project.
1. Let's create the application with the Angular base structure using the @angular/cli with the route file and the SCSS style format.
ng new angular-eslint --routing true --style scss

✔ Packages installed successfully.
Successfully initialized git.
2. Now we will install the libraries and add the ESLint settings.
ng add @angular-eslint/schematics
ℹ Using package manager: npm
✔ Found compatible package version: @angular-eslint/schematics@14.2.5.
✔ Package information loaded.
The package @angular-eslint/schematics@14.2.5 will be installed and executed.
Would you like to proceed? Yes
✔ Packages successfully installed.
All @angular-eslint dependencies have been successfully installed 🎉
Please see https://github.com/angular-eslint/angular-eslint for how to add ESLint configuration to your project.
We detected that you have a single project in your workspace and no existing linter wired up, so we are configuring ESLint for you automatically.
Please see https://github.com/angular-eslint/angular-eslint for more information.
CREATE .eslintrc.json (984 bytes)
UPDATE package.json (1511 bytes)
UPDATE angular.json (3447 bytes)
✔ Packages installed successfully.
3. Next, we will run the command below to validate the ESLint installation and configuration.
npm run lint
> angular-eslint@1.0.0 lint /home/rodrigokamada/angular-eslint
> ng lint
Linting "angular-eslint"...
All files pass linting.
4. Ready! The message All files pass linting. shows that no problem was found.
The application repository is available at https://github.com/rodrigokamada/angular-eslint.
Conclusion
In summary, the following topics were covered in this article:
- We created an Angular application.
- We added the ESLint to analize and find problems with the code.
You can use this article to analize and find problems with your application code before deploying to your environment.
