Overview

https://github.com/sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn has a lot of great rules in it. The plugin:unicorn/recommended plugin in particular has a non-zero density of rules that catch dangerous bugs.

Example of a good objective logical rule: unicorn/no-instanceof-array flags dangerous uses of ... instanceof Array that should be replaced with Array.isArray(...).

However! Not every rule in plugin:unicorn/recommended is purely logical. Some are opinionated stylistic ones - which I wouldn't want to enable in this plugin.

Example of an opinionated logical rule: unicorn/expiring-todo-comments. It's a good idea and I like that folks are enabling it. But I think it'd be too opinionated for a general-purpose template like this one. Even the --base everything / stylistic-enabled options.

Let's:

• File an issue (if one doesn't already exist) on eslint-plugin-stylistic to make a preset config that only has the objective logical rules: Add unopinionated preset sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn#896
• Send a PR (if one doesn't already exist) to eslint-plugin-stylistic to add that preset config: add unopinionated preset sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn#2182
• Wait for the PR to be implemented - helping if possible
• Use that preset config here

Unopinionated preset is blocked until eslint-unicorn has fully switched to flat config, ref sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn#896 (comment)

Eslint-plugin-n has now rule for node prefix https://github.com/eslint-community/eslint-plugin-n/blob/master/docs/rules/prefer-node-protocol.md - I’m commenting this to here, since this is one nice rule from unicorn that I like to use. But since node plugin is already enabled in this repo, it would make sense to enable it from node plugin.

There are other good lints from unicorn still. :)

Should I create own issue about proposing enabling that rule? I think it needs to wait at least few days that the new major version is rolled into use.

Ooh yes let's add that in, thanks!
