Ash-Nazg

eslint-config-ash-nazg is a highly opinionated ESLint configuration that combines and curates rules from eslint:recommended, standard, and numerous community plugins into a single, strict rule set. It aims to enforce consistent code quality, catch errors, and promote best practices across JavaScript and TypeScript projects.

Key Features

• Aggregated Rules — Combines rules from eslint:recommended, standard, eslint-plugin-import, eslint-plugin-unicorn, eslint-plugin-jsdoc, and many others.
• Configurable Strictness — Offers multiple presets like sauron (stricter), great-eye (even stricter), and node (Node.js-specific) to tailor linting intensity.
• Rationale-Driven Design — Each rule inclusion or exclusion is documented with detailed reasoning, focusing on practicality and avoiding arbitrary restrictions.
• Plugin Integrations — Supports linting for Markdown, HTML, JSDoc, and frameworks like Mocha and Cypress through bundled configs.
• Modern JavaScript Support — Configures environment and parser settings for ES modules, async/await, and latest ECMAScript features.

Philosophy

The project adopts a "ruthless but not arbitrary" approach, prioritizing rules that catch genuine errors, improve readability, and align with common JavaScript conventions, while avoiding overly oppressive or project-specific constraints.
