        "@typescript-eslint/strict-boolean-expressions": [
            2,
            {
                "allowString" : false,
                "allowNumber" : false

Flat Config

import jsdoc from "eslint-plugin-jsdoc";
import customConfig from "eslint-config-custom";

export default [
    {
        files: ["**/*.js"],
        ignores: ["**/*.test.js"],
        plugins: {
            jsdoc
        },
        languageOptions: {
            ecmaVersion: 6
        },
        rules: {
            "jsdoc/require-description": "error",
            "jsdoc/check-values": "error",
        }  
    },
    customConfig,
    {
        files: ["**/*.cjs"],
        rules: {
            "no-undef": "error",
            "semi": "warn",
        }  
    }

What's Different?

  • .eslintrc, .eslintrc.yml, etc.
  • Complex top-level object
  • String-based plugins, etc.
  • CommonJS
  • Rules and plugins
  • .eslint.config.js
  • Array of config objects
  • Module-based plugins, etc.
  • ESM
  • Rules and plugins
