Having a code linter (like ESLint v9+) in place is highly recommended and ensures your code looks legible. It also helps you capture some errors before even running the code.
When you scaffold a Quasar project folder it will ask you if you want ESLint (also prettier as a code formatter).

WARNING
Please be sure to ignore unused files to increase performance. If you lint unused files/folders the UX will degrade significantly.
You can ignore files by editing your /eslint.config.js file:
export default [ { /** * Ignore the following files. * Please note that pluginQuasar.configs.recommended() already ignores * the "node_modules" folder for you (and all other Quasar project * relevant folders and files). * * ESLint requires "ignores" key to be the only one in this object */ ignores: [] // <<<---- here! },Notice that pluginQuasar.configs.recommended() from a few sections above will add the following to your ESLint ignores setting (no need to add them yourself too!):
// not an exhaustive list auto-added to "ignores" [ 'dist/*', 'src-capacitor/*', 'src-cordova/*', '.quasar/*', 'quasar.config.*.temporary.compiled*' ]Lint Rules
The linting rules can be removed, changed, or added. Notice some things:
- Some rules are standard ESLint ones. Example: ‘brace-style’.
- Some rules are for eslint-plugin-vue. Example: ‘vue/max-attributes-per-line’.
You can add/remove/change rules by first visiting https://eslint.org/docs/rules/ or https://eslint.vuejs.org/rules.
