ESLint Config Inspector Deployment - Implementation Summary

🎯 Project Goal​

Deploy a static build of npx @eslint/config-inspector@latest to an existing Docusaurus site with navigation integration.

✅ Successful Implementation​

1. Build Script Creation (scripts/build-eslint-inspector.mjs)​

• Purpose: Automated ESLint Config Inspector static build generation and deployment

• Features:

  • ES modules compliant with proper imports (node: prefix)
  • Comprehensive error handling with descriptive messages
  • Static file generation using npx @eslint/config-inspector build
  • Automatic copying to Docusaurus static directory
  • SEO-optimized redirect page creation
  • Clean temporary file management
  • Success confirmation with deployment URL

2. Docusaurus Integration​

• Configuration Updates:

  • Added ESLint Config navbar link to docs/docusaurus/docusaurus.config.ts
  • Link positioned on left side of navbar: { to: '/Uptime-Watcher/eslint-inspector/', label: 'ESLint Config', position: 'left' }
  • Proper baseUrl configuration for GitHub Pages deployment

3. Package.json Automation​

• Script Addition: "build:eslint-inspector": "node scripts/build-eslint-inspector.mjs"
• Docusaurus Integration: Updated docusaurus package.json to include ESLint inspector in build process

4. Dependency Management​

• Installed: fs-extra and @types/fs-extra for reliable file operations
• Dependencies: Added to devDependencies with proper version management

5. Static File Generation​

• Output Directory: docs/docusaurus/static/eslint-inspector/

• Generated Content:

  • Complete ESLint Config Inspector SPA
  • 42 configuration items detected and processed
  • 1943 ESLint rules loaded and organized
  • SEO-optimized redirect page with loading spinner
  • All necessary assets (_nuxt, api, fonts directories)

6. Verification System​

• Created: scripts/verify-eslint-inspector.mjs

• Validation Checks:

  • Static directory existence and file integrity
  • Built site integration verification
  • Configuration file validation
  • Build script presence confirmation
  • Result: All 5/5 checks passed ✅

7. ESLint Configuration Updates​

• Added Ignore Pattern: "docs/docusaurus/static/eslint-inspector/**"
• Purpose: Prevent linting of third-party ESLint inspector generated files
• Result: Clean linting with no errors related to ESLint inspector files
