We are excited to announce a partnership between ESLint and Codemod to create a better migration experience for ESLint users, starting with the ESLint v8 to v9 and v9 to v10 migrations. All official ESLint codemods live in eslint/codemods and on the Codemod Registry. Community members are encouraged to open issues for missing codemods or contribute new ones through pull requests. Once reviewed and merged by maintainers, codemods are automatically published to the Codemod Registry through GitHub Actions.What is Codemod?Codemod is an open source platform for building, sharing, and running automated code migrations at scale. It is an OpenJS Foundation partner, and its tooling has been adopted by projects such as React, Node.js, Express, React Router, Nuxt.js, pnpm, Webpack, MSW, i18next, and more.Its platform includes JSSG (JS ast-grep), a codemod runtime and workflow engine that supports multi-step transformations and combines deterministic, compiler-aware transformations with AI-powered

HighlightsNew option checkConstructorCallCallbacks in max-nested-callbacksThe max-nested-callbacks rule now supports a checkConstructorCallCallbacks option.When enabled, the rule also counts callback functions passed to constructor calls with new, such as new Promise((resolve) => {}), when calculating nesting depth.For example, with { "max": 1, "checkConstructorCallCallbacks": true }, the rule reports the following code as exceeding the allowed callback nesting depth:run(() => { new Promise(resolve => resolve());});123Copy code to clipboard New option errorClassNames in preserve-caught-errorThe preserve-caught-error rule now supports an errorClassNames option.This option lets you specify additional custom error class names that must preserve the original caught error by passing it as a cause.For example, with { "errorClassNames": ["MyError"] }, the following code is reported because the thrown MyError does not include the original error as a cause, just like built-in error types must:t

We are happy to share that CodeRabbit has become an ESLint gold sponsor, donating $1,000 each month for the ongoing maintenance and development of ESLint! CodeRabbit is an AI-powered code review platform that provides fast, context-aware feedback on pull requests. It helps development teams automate and accelerate the code review process, catch bugs and logic errors early, and improve code quality and velocity.Here’s what Santosh Yadav, Principal Developer Advocate at CodeRabbit, had to say about ESLint:“We love Open Source and ESLint is critical for the ecosystem. We want to make Open Source more sustainable for maintainers. ESLint is shipped as part of the CodeRabbit tools, and we love to support our dependencies.”– Santosh Yadav, Principal Developer Advocate, CodeRabbitESLint is extremely grateful for the support of the CodeRabbit team. Donations from sponsors like CodeRabbit allow ESLint to pay contributors for ongoing maintenance and development, helping to make the open-source ec

HighlightsNew option checkRelationalComparisons in no-constant-binary-expressionESLint v10.6.0 introduces a new option checkRelationalComparisons for the no-constant-binary-expression rule.When enabled, the rule reports relational comparisons using <, <=, >, or >= whose result is always constant based on their literal operands.For example:const value = "a" > "b"; // always `false`1Copy code to clipboard while (0 <= 0) { // always `true` /* ... */}123Copy code to clipboard Rule refinementsThe following rules have been tweaked to improve correctness and ensure more consistent or intuitive behavior in edge cases:max-classes-per-filemax-nested-callbacksno-constant-binary-expressionno-extra-boolean-castno-promise-executor-returnno-throw-literalprefer-exponentiation-operatorprefer-promise-reject-errorsradixFeaturesb1f9106 feat: detect Symbol() and BigInt() in no-constant-binary-expression (#20981) (Taejin Kim)f291007 feat: add checkRelationalComparisons to no-constant-binary-expression (#209

HighlightsFive core rules now highlight smaller ranges of code to avoid shadowing other problems in editors.Rules max-lines-per-function, max-nested-callbacks, and max-statements now highlight only the function header instead of the entire function.Rules max-depth and no-with now highlight only the first keyword.Several errors in the calculations have been corrected in the max-depth and max-nested-callbacks rules. These bug fixes can result in reporting more linting errors in existing code.Features5ca8c52 feat: correct stack tracking in max-nested-callbacks (#20973) (Pixel998)b565783 feat: report no-with violations at the with keyword (#20971) (Pixel998)2ce032f feat: report max-lines-per-function violations at function head (#20966) (Pixel998)732cb3e feat: report max-nested-callbacks violations at function head (#20967) (Pixel998)f9c138a feat: report max-depth violations on keywords (#20943) (Pixel998)bdb496c feat: correct max-depth handling for else-if chains (#20944) (Pixel998)c29687

HighlightsNew includeIgnoreFile() helperThis release introduces the includeIgnoreFile() helper for configuration files that allows for including patterns from .gitignore files or any other files with gitignore-style patterns.Previously available in the external package @eslint/compat, the new includeIgnoreFile helper function is exported from the eslint/config entrypoint and provides an extended API that allows multiple files to be included and patterns to be interpreted relative to the location of those files, which is a common use case for nested .gitignore files.// eslint.config.jsimport { defineConfig, includeIgnoreFile } from "eslint/config";import { fileURLToPath } from "node:url";const rootGitignorePath = fileURLToPath( new URL(".gitignore", import.meta.url));const nestedGitignorePath = fileURLToPath( new URL("some/other/folder/.gitignore", import.meta.url),);export default defineConfig([ includeIgnoreFile([rootGitignorePath, nestedGitignorePath], { // option to interpret patter
