How to ignore ESLint in Next.js ?

In this article, we are going to see how to ignore ESLint in Next.Js. Follow the below steps to ignore ESLint in the Next.js application:

ESLint: ESLint is a JavaScript linter that is designed to help identify and correct problems in JavaScript code. ESLint is based on JSHint, but ESLint has more features and is more configurable. ESLint can be used to enforce a coding style, to detect errors and potential problems, and help improve code quality.

We can ignore the ESLint in Next.js using the approaches mentioned below:

Steps to Create Next.js Application

npx create-next-app GFG

Step 2: After creating your project folder (i.e. GFG ), move to it by using the following command:

Using next.config.js

Example: Ignore ESLint in Next.Js, if the ESLint is enabled the production build of your application will fail automatically if any error is present in the code. To ignore the ESLint in Next.Js add the below code in your ‘next.config.js’ file:

// next.config.js

module.exports = {
    reactStrictMode: true,
    eslint: {
        ignoreDuringBuilds: true,
    },
}

Output: After adding the above code to your ‘next.config.file’, the ESLint will be ignored in your Next.Js file.

Using .eslintignore

we can ignore the ESLint in the selected directories of files by adding them to .eslintignore file.

# .eslintignore

node_modules/
build/
public/

By removing from Project

npm uninstall eslint
rm -rf .eslintrc .eslintrc.js .eslintignore

Conclusion

To manage ESLint in Next.js, use next.config.js to disable ESLint during builds, add paths to .eslintignore to exclude specific files or directories, or completely remove ESLint by uninstalling it and deleting its configuration files.
