What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Enforce consistent JavaScript formatting across a team so code reviews focus on logic instead of style.

USE CASE 2

Quickly adopt a opinionated style guide for a new project without configuring dozens of linting rules individually.

USE CASE 3

Automatically check code style as part of a build process or directly in your code editor.

USE CASE 4

Standardize code style across projects in the requarks ecosystem like wiki.js.

How do you get it running?

Difficulty · easy Time to first run · 5min

Requires ESLint to already be installed in your project, after that it's a one-line config addition with no external infrastructure needed.

The repository does not explicitly state a license, so usage rights are unclear without checking the actual license file.

In plain English

eslint-config-requarks is a set of code style rules for JavaScript projects. It helps teams automatically check that their code looks consistent, so every developer writes in a similar style without having to debate formatting choices. At a high level, it builds on an existing popular style guide called StandardJS, which enforces conventions like no semicolons and specific spacing patterns. The main difference is that this config relaxes a couple of StandardJS's rules: it won't force you to put a space before function parentheses, and it won't require specific handling of error variables in catch blocks. Once installed, a tool called ESLint runs these checks against your code automatically, either in your editor or as part of your build process. The people who'd use this are developers working on projects tied to the requarks ecosystem (the team behind wiki.js and similar tools) who want a straightforward, opinionated style guide without needing to configure every rule themselves. A founder or PM managing a small engineering team might also appreciate it because it removes formatting debates from code reviews, the rules are set, and the tool enforces them. For a beginner, it's a way to adopt good JavaScript habits without having to understand every individual linting rule. The notable tradeoff here is simplicity over flexibility. Rather than offering dozens of configurable options, it gives you one preset that's close to StandardJS with minor tweaks. If you agree with those choices, it's a one-line setup. If you want different rules, you'd need to override them yourself. The README is brief and doesn't go into detail about why those specific two rules were changed, so you're trusting the maintainer's judgment on what makes code cleaner.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Help me set up eslint-config-requarks in my JavaScript project. I already have ESLint installed, what does my .eslintrc file need to look like, and are there any peer dependencies I need to install?
Prompt 2
I'm using eslint-config-requarks but I want to re-enable the space-before-function-paren rule that this config turns off. Show me how to override just that rule in my ESLint config while keeping everything else.
Prompt 3
Compare eslint-config-requarks to StandardJS for me. What two rules does it relax, and how would that affect my existing codebase if I switch from StandardJS to this config?
Prompt 4
Set up my project so ESLint with eslint-config-requarks runs automatically every time I save a file in VS Code. Walk me through the VS Code extension settings and any config changes needed.
