Enforcing coding style with @vercel/style-guide
 views
What's @vercel/style-guide? Why would I use it?
@vercel/style-guide offers predefined configs of the following tools in a single package.
If you are not sure which ESLint rules or plugins to use (there are A LOT!!!) or wish to enforce code quality but not sure where to start, @vercel/style-guide is a decent drop-in solution.
What's the catch?
@vercel/style-guide is strict, VERY strict. If you are getting used to the default config provisioned by a project CLI, e.g., Next.js and Vite, it might take you some time to adapt to it.
Also, I found some configs aren't making too much sense in the way they are configured. I found myself fighting against those configs instead of enhancing my code quality. Thus, I have overridden some of the configs to how I feel comfortable. The good news to you is, I'm glad to share them with you.
What I'm currently using
FYI, the following are the config files I'm running in my Next.js project. Feel free to copy and/or customize them according to your needs.

}For Prettier, I'm not overriding the options in @vercel/style-guide/prettier, but I've extended it to support Prisma.
import vercelPrettierOptions from '@vercel/style-guide/prettier';
/** @type {import('prettier').Config} */
const config = {
...vercelPrettierOptions,
plugins: [...vercelPrettierOptions.plugins, 'prettier-plugin-prisma'],
};
export default config;
