🟡 Recommended

Use as the default baseline for most TypeScript codebases.

Config key

tsconfig.configs.recommended

Flat Config example

import tsconfig from "eslint-plugin-tsconfig";

export default [tsconfig.configs.recommended];

This preset does not require type information.

For stricter coverage, see the strict preset, or use the all preset to enable every available rule.

Alternative: apply recommended rules in your own scope

import tsParser from "@typescript-eslint/parser";
import tsconfig from "eslint-plugin-tsconfig";

export default [
    {
        files: ["src/**/*.ts", "src/**/*.tsx"],
        languageOptions: {
            parser: tsParser,
            parserOptions: {
                ecmaVersion: "latest",
                sourceType: "module",
            },
        },
        plugins: {
            tsconfig,
        },
        rules: {
            ...tsconfig.configs.recommended.rules,
        },
    },
];

This option is useful when you want the recommended rule set, but only for specific file globs.
