eslint-plugin-propper-nextjs

Overview

eslint-plugin-propper-nextjs is a custom ESLint plugin designed to enforce best practices for Next.js projects.
It ensures correct default exports in Next.js reserved files, restricts default exports in other files,
and enforces import and styling rules for consistency.

Usage

✅ For ESLint 9+ (Flat Config)

Modify your eslint.config.js:

import { FlatCompat } from "@eslint/eslintrc";
import { dirname } from "path";
import { fileURLToPath } from "url";
import propperNextJsPlugin from "eslint-plugin-propper-nextjs";

const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = dirname(__filename);

const compat = new FlatCompat({
  baseDirectory: __dirname,
});

const eslintConfig = [
  ...compat.extends("next/core-web-vitals", "next/typescript"),
  propperNextJsPlugin.configs.recommended, // ✅ Enables all recommended rules
  {
    ignores: ["node_modules", ".next"],
  },
];

export default eslintConfig;

✅ For ESLint 8 and Below (.eslintrc.js format)

If using legacy ESLint config, modify .eslintrc.js:

module.exports = {
  plugins: ["propper-nextjs", "import"],
  extends: ["plugin:propper-nextjs/recommended"],
};

Rules Included

Next.js Default Export Rules

File Type	Expected Default Export Name
layout.tsx	Layout
page.tsx	Page
loading.tsx	Loading
not-found.tsx	NotFound
error.tsx	Error
global-error.tsx	GlobalError
template.tsx	Template

✅ Ensures correct naming for default exports in Next.js reserved files.
✅ Prevents default exports in non-Next.js files (e.g., inside components/, lib/).
✅ Supports both named functions (export function Page() {}) and arrow functions (export const Page = () => {}).
✅ Auto-fixable: Converts export default function() into export const ComponentName = () => {};.

** Import & Code Styling Rules**

Rule	Description
"import/order"	Enforces structured import grouping
"import/no-duplicates"	Prevents duplicate imports
"import/no-cycle"	Detects circular dependencies
"import/no-extraneous-dependencies"	Ensures only installed dependencies are imported
"import/first"	Ensures imports come before other statements
"import/newline-after-import"	Enforces a blank line after imports
"no-console"	Disallows console.log in production
"quotes": ["error", "single"]	Enforces single quotes for strings
"no-trailing-spaces"	Removes unnecessary spaces at the end of lines
"prefer-const"	Requires const for variables that are never reassigned
