Question 1

How do I configure eslint-plugin-react-native to work with custom style sheet libraries?

Accepted Answer

From the README, you can set the 'react-native/style-sheet-object-names' in ESLint settings to whitelist providers like EStyleSheet. This allows the plugin to recognize and lint styles from non-default style sheet objects effectively.

Question 2

What's the difference between eslint-plugin-react and eslint-plugin-react-native?

Accepted Answer

eslint-plugin-react provides general React linting rules for web development, while eslint-plugin-react-native adds React Native-specific rules like platform components and style handling. They are designed to be used together for comprehensive mobile app linting.

Question 3

How to disable a specific rule like no-inline-styles for certain parts of my code?

Accepted Answer

In your ESLint configuration, set the rule to 'off' globally, or use inline comments such as // eslint-disable-next-line react-native/no-inline-styles above the component. This gives flexibility while maintaining overall code quality.

Question 4

Does eslint-plugin-react-native support TypeScript in React Native projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it should work with TypeScript if ESLint is configured to parse TypeScript files using tools like @typescript-eslint/parser. Ensure the plugin is included in your ESLint config, as it relies on ESLint's base functionality.

Question 5

Why does the no-raw-text rule flag text in my app, and how do I fix it?

Accepted Answer

This rule detects raw text outside of Text components to ensure accessibility in React Native. To resolve errors, wrap any string literals in a Text component, which is a best practice for proper rendering and screen reader support.

Question 6

How to enable all rules in eslint-plugin-react-native at once?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'all' shareable configuration by extending 'plugin:react-native/all' in your ESLint config, as mentioned in the README. This automatically enables every available rule, but you can override specific ones as needed.
