Problem

Currently, the project lacks a linter configuration, which makes it difficult to enforce consistent coding standards across the codebase. This can lead to:
Inconsistent code formatting and style.
Potential for syntax errors or bad practices going unnoticed during development.
Increased time spent on code reviews due to style inconsistencies.
By adding a linter, we can ensure that all code follows the same set of style and syntax rules, improving code quality and reducing the overhead of manual style enforcement.

Description

Adding a linter configuration to the project will automate the process of enforcing coding standards. A linter (e.g., ESLint for JavaScript or Super Linter for multiple languages) checks the codebase for style, syntax, and best practices based on predefined rules. This ensures that all code contributions meet a consistent standard, improving code readability and reducing errors.

The linter will:
Automatically highlight and fix minor code style issues.
Prevent common mistakes that can lead to bugs.
Reduce the time spent on code reviews by focusing only on code logic, not style.

Alternatives

No Linter: The project could choose not to implement a linter at all, leaving code style and quality checks entirely up to the developers. This would offer flexibility, but it risks inconsistent code quality, longer review times, and potential technical debt.
Why This Feature Is Better:
Introducing a linter is a balanced solution that:
Automates the enforcement of coding standards.
Reduces manual effort in code reviews.
Can integrate with CI/CD workflows to maintain code quality throughout the development lifecycle.
Promotes best practices and minimizes style-related issues, leading to a cleaner, more maintainable codebase.

Implementation

  • I would be interested in implementing this feature.

This is related to #5 . This would make work like this status: blocked until work and decisions there are sorted fully.
