Prettier, ESLint and Typescript

Prettier

The first tool I want to explore is Prettier. I would leave it to you to read more about what it is but, in short, it is a code formatter. What does it mean? It means that it will keep your codebase consistent (in terms of coding style). Do you use ;? If yes, it will ensure that all your files have it, for example. I like it for two reasons: we barely have to discuss code formatting and it is easy to onboard new members to the team.

ESLint

ESLint has been around for a while. In short, it does a bit more than Prettier as it analyzes your code to find problems (or patterns that you don't want, like variables that are not used should be removed). Again, I invite you to read ESLint documentation if you want to go deeper into the topic. I like ESLint for the simple reason it helps me to find problems and configure some patterns in the project (it might be useful when onboarding new people). It is extremely extensible as well in case you're interested.
