option exception.
- The
prefer-const
rule included in therecommended
andesnext
rulesets has been relaxed to allow alet
assignment if any of a destructuring assignment are reassigned.
- The
recommended
ruleset checks again code formatting (whitespace, indenting, etc.). These rules are now enforced by Prettier itself through a plugin that diffs the code with its formatted output and reports the differences as lint errors.eslint-plugin-prettier
was chosen over options likeprettier-eslint
because we don't runeslint --fix
in hooks as we'd rather leave certain linting errors to be resolved or ignored at the author's discretion. We also don't apply any additional formatting witheslint
overprettier
, so the overhead would be unnecessary.eslint-plugin-prettier
was chosen over options likeprettier --check
because it's nice to see format errors as you type as it leads you to write code with a more optimal auto-formatted output and it avoids issues like comment directives being moved out of place byprettier
and the author not realizing it.
- Removed
plugin:prettier/recommended
fromrecommended
ruleset as it introduces breaking changes.
- The
recommended

andtest-unit
rulesets.

now supports anexcludePattern
option to exempt function calls by name.
- The recommended
react
configuration specifies an option to@wordpress/no-unused-vars-before-return
to exempt React hooks usage, by convention of hooks beginning with "use" prefix. - The plugin now uses
eslint-plugin-jsdoc
, rather than thevalid-jsdoc
rule, for more reliable linting of JSDoc blocks.

no-restricted-syntax
rule enforcing translate function arguments. #15839. - Fixed arguments checking of
_nx
for theno-restricted-syntax
rule enforcing translate function arguments. #15839. - Fixed false positive with
