ADR-021: Code Formatting and Linting Unification
Date: 2025-12-12
Status: Proposed
Context
The project contains both frontend (React) and backend (Node.js) code. While linters may be in use, there isn't a single, enforced standard for code style and quality across the entire repository. This leads to inconsistent code and time wasted in code reviews on stylistic debates.
Decision
We will mandate the use of Prettier for automated code formatting and a unified ESLint configuration for code quality rules across both frontend and backend. This will be enforced automatically using a pre-commit hook managed by a tool like Husky.
Consequences
Positive: Improves developer experience and team velocity by automating code consistency. Reduces time spent on stylistic code review comments. Enhances code readability and maintainability.
Negative: Requires an initial setup and configuration of Prettier, ESLint, and Husky. May require a one-time reformatting of the entire codebase.
