JS Guide: Add prettier/eslint editor instructions
I want to add a guide that tells you how to set up Prettier and ESLint in VSCode and maybe other editors. Would it be better to do it in this repo or in https://github.com/cloudfour/eslint-config?
I love this and great question @calebeby!
More questions that come to mind. If I were a user that wanted to install/use @cloudfour/eslint-config, do I care/want instructions for only how to set up in the codebase? Is the expectation that I also get details on how to set it up in an editor?
It feels as though I don't expect to have instructions on how to add these tools in my editor. But that's not to say I wouldn't appreciate it. Hmm...dilemna. 🤔
Either way, I love the idea and I don't think you should let this be a blocker.
If I had to choose right now, I'd choose to add something to this repo. Reason being, regardless of which eslint config I choose to use (maybe there's a client project where we don't use @cloudfour/eslint-config), I can reference these guides here to configure my editor and it doesn't have to be specific to @cloudfour/eslint-config.
@cloudfour/dev @cloudfour/design Any thoughts?
Blarg...now I'm backing up on my original feeling.
But that's not to say I wouldn't appreciate it.
Now I'm feeling, if someone uses @cloudfour/eslint-config, they might appreciate an "oh hey, here's how to set these tools up in your editor also". I'm feeling too many feelings. I'm so torn. 🙈 😅
Any thoughts @tylersticka?
What if I put the guide here but I add a link from the eslint-config README to here?
Ha! Linking on the interwebs, what a novel idea! I like it! Works for me!
@calebeby (facepalm) I just realized I totally misread the title title. This is about adding instructions for using eslint/prettier in your editor, which, yeah, you're right, isn't done.
