I created TypeScript ESLint Playground

Hi there πŸ‘‹.
Sometimes I enjoyed contributing to the typescript-eslint project. But it was tiring me to configure "typescript-eslint" for reproducing issues.

So I created a web playground for typescript eslint πŸŽ‰.

I think it would also be useful for someone trying to configure the "typescript-eslint" rule.
Feel free to give it a little Star or Issue :)-Github repo

How did It make?

The biggest challenge was a bundling module that using node built-in modules (fs, path...)

When bundling typescript-eslint and eslint with webpack, it throws errors because it cannot bundle NodeJS Built-In modules (e.g. ’fs’, β€˜path’)..

ERROR in ./node_modules/@eslint/eslintrc/lib/config-array-factory.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' in '...project/node_modules/@eslint/eslintrc/lib'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So, I must handle them, especially. There are two cases I should care about.

  1. Module using NodeJS Built-Ins but unused on runtimes.
  2. Module using NodeJS Built-Ins and needed on runtimes.

1. Handing modules unused on runtimes

For the first case, I can use webpack null-loader. It allows us to bundle some modules with an empty module.

We need to install null-loader

$ npm install null-loader --save-dev
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then added the loader to our webpack config. The webpack will load modules specified in test as an empty module. By that, we can avoid webpack errors.

module.exports = {
  rules: [
    //...
    {
      test: [
        /\/eslint\/.*\/cli-engine/,
        // ...
      ],
      use: "null-loader"
    }
  ]
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Handling modules used on runtimes

In this case, The NormalModuleReplacementPlugin works. It allows us to replace some resources with custom resources. By it, I could replace modules with my custom ones.

  • replacement module.
// src/modules/globby.js - custom module
module.exports = {
  sync() {
    return ["./tsconfig.json"];
  },
};
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • webpack.config.js
const webpack = require('webpack');

module.exports = {
  //...
  plugins: [
    new webpack.NormalModuleReplacementPlugin(
      /globby/, // target module
      "src/modules/globby.js" // custom module
    ),
  ]
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can check all code on github repo. Thanks for reading :)
