Requires installing ESLint and a TypeScript parser alongside the plugin, then configuring ESLint to point at your source folder.

So what is it?

NativeScript ESLint Plugin is a code-checking tool for people building apps with NativeScript. It catches common mistakes and bad practices in your code before they cause problems at runtime, helping you write cleaner, more reliable apps. ESLint is essentially a spell-checker for code. It scans your project files and flags issues, things like unused variables, incorrect patterns, or mistakes specific to NativeScript development. This plugin adds rules tailored to NativeScript projects, so the checks understand the framework's conventions and catch issues a generic linter would miss. When it finds a problem, it tells you what's wrong and where, and some issues can be fixed automatically with a single command. The setup involves installing the plugin alongside ESLint itself and a TypeScript parser, then pointing ESLint at your source folder. Once configured, you run a command to scan your code, and it reports any issues it finds. You can also set it up to work inside VS Code, so problems get flagged directly in your editor as you type, the same way a word processor underlines misspelled words in real time. This is for developers working on NativeScript apps who want to catch errors early and keep their code consistent. If you're building a cross-platform mobile app with NativeScript and TypeScript, this plugin acts as an automated reviewer that catches sloppy code before it becomes a bug your users hit. It's especially useful for teams where multiple people contribute code and you want everyone following the same standards. The README doesn't go into detail about what specific rules are included or what NativeScript-specific issues the plugin catches, so you'd need to dig into the project itself to see the full list of checks it performs.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Help me set up eslint-plugin-nativescript in my NativeScript TypeScript project, what dependencies do I need and what should my .eslintrc config file look like?
Prompt 2
I have eslint-plugin-nativescript installed but I'm not sure which rules are enabled. Show me how to list all available NativeScript-specific ESLint rules and decide which ones to turn on for my project.
Prompt 3
Add eslint-plugin-nativescript to my existing ESLint setup and configure it to auto-fix issues on save in VS Code. Walk me through the settings.json changes I need.
Prompt 4
My NativeScript ESLint plugin is flagging an error I don't understand. Here's the rule name and my code, explain what the rule checks and how to fix the issue.
