Support for "Flat Config"

[ota-meshi]

The problem you want to solve.

We need to check for compatibility with ESLint's new Flat Config.

Your take on the correct solution to problem.

When @eslint/eslintrc is ready to use, check compatibility. Modify the sharable configuration as needed.

Now that this repo is linting itself using flat config, what would be the next steps? Do you have a plan for exporting flat configs from this plugin?

[ota-meshi]

I think the next step is to exporting the flat config from this plugin 👍

[nzakas]

Cool! Would you do that in addition to the eslintrc configs? Or as a replacement? (Trying to figure out what to recommend to other plugins, too.)

[Havrin]

just to make sure because I just ran into an error while setting this up with flat config from eslint: Flatconfig or eslint.config.js is currently not supported and will (maybe) be working with the next major version of eslint-plugin-vue, correct? There is no workaround?

I haven't tried it yet, but you should be able to use eslint-plugin-vue in eslint.config.js like this:

const { FlatCompat } = require('@eslint/eslintrc')

const eslintrc = new FlatCompat({
  baseDirectory: __dirname
})

module.exports = [
  // …
  ...eslintrc.plugins('vue'),
  ...eslintrc.extends('plugin:vue/recommended'),
  // …
]

(similar to how plugins/configs in our own ESLint config were migrated in #2226)

[Havrin]

yeah, true that works, thanks! On npmjs it says

This package is not intended for use outside of the ESLint ecosystem.

which I thought meant to not use it in my project.

Btw I am using "type": "module" so my working config looks like this:

import { FlatCompat } from '@eslint/eslintrc';
import globals from 'globals';
import path from 'path';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename);

const eslintrc = new FlatCompat({
    baseDirectory: __dirname
})

export default [
    {
        ignores: ["node_modules", "coverage", ".nyc_output", "dist"]
    },
    ...eslintrc.plugins('vue', 'prettier'),
    ...eslintrc.extends('plugin:vue/vue3-recommended', 'prettier'),
    {
        files: ['src/**/*.js', 'src/**/*.vue'],
        languageOptions: {
            globals: {
                ...globals.browser,
            },
            parserOptions: {
                ecmaVersion: 2022,
                sourceType: "module"
            }
        },
        rules: {
        ...
        }
    }
];

HI @Havrin , I'm currently facing this error after using your code

TypeError: Key "plugins": Cannot redefine plugin "vue".

[chojnicki]

Starting with ESLint v9.0.0, the flat config file format will be the default configuration file format.

Any news about supporting flat config? It's been 3 years :( This package is last thing we need to ditch CJS and go 100% ESM in a project.

[FloEdelmann]

@conradhale started working on a solution to this issue in #2319. It would be great if anyone reading this could test that implementation and review the PR. You can install the development version using the following command:

npm install conradhale/eslint-plugin-vue

Please also mention any documentation updates you would like to see.

        },
        rules: {

        }
    }
];

Thanks for sharing that config!

Just a few remarks:

• I don't think it's necessary to specify ...eslintrc.plugins('vue', 'prettier'), as both recommended configurations will include setting the plugin option correctly.
• Setting parserOptions.ecmaVersion is not recommended
• Setting parserOptions.sourceType to module is not necessary in this case, as the default is module for anything but .cjs files

This code worked for me https://gist.github.com/Robin-Hoodie/ad242ecb6d92e33cb21d5869f01dd63b
