Skillshub antfu

Anthony Fu's opinionated tooling and conventions for JavaScript/TypeScript projects. Use when setting up new projects, configuring ESLint/Prettier alternatives, monorepos, library publishing, or when the user mentions Anthony Fu's preferences.

Coding Practices

Code Organization

  • Single responsibility: Each source file should have a clear, focused scope/purpose
  • Split large files: Break files when they become large or handle too many concerns
  • Type separation: Always separate types and interfaces into
    types.ts
    or
    types/*.ts
  • Constants extraction: Move constants to a dedicated
    constants.ts
    file

Runtime Environment

  • Prefer isomorphic code: Write runtime-agnostic code that works in Node, browser, and workers whenever possible
  • Clear runtime indicators: When code is environment-specific, add a comment at the top of the file:
// @env node
// @env browser

TypeScript

  • Explicit return types: Declare return types explicitly when possible
  • Avoid complex inline types: Extract complex types into dedicated
    type
    or
    interface
    declarations

Comments

  • Avoid unnecessary comments: Code should be self-explanatory
  • Explain "why" not "how": Comments should describe the reasoning or intent, not what the code does

Testing (Vitest)

  • Test files:
    foo.ts
    foo.test.ts
    (same directory)
  • Use
    describe
    /
    it
    API (not
    test
    )
  • Use
    toMatchSnapshot
    for complex outputs
  • Use
    toMatchFileSnapshot
    with explicit path for language-specific snapshots

TypeScript Config

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ESNext",
    "module": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "strict": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "noEmit": true
  }
}

ESLint Setup

// eslint.config.mjs
import antfu from '@antfu/eslint-config'

export default antfu()

When completing tasks, run

pnpm run lint --fix
to format the code and fix coding style.

For detailed configuration options: antfu-eslint-config

Git Hooks

{
  "simple-git-hooks": {
    "pre-commit": "pnpm i --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts --offline && npx lint-staged"
  },
  "lint-staged": { "*": "eslint --fix" },
  "scripts": {
    "prepare": "npx simple-git-hooks"
  }
}

pnpm Catalogs

Use named catalogs in

pnpm-workspace.yaml
for version management:

CatalogPurpose
prod
Production dependencies
inlined
Bundler-inlined dependencies
dev
Dev tools (linter, bundler, testing)
frontend
Frontend libraries

Avoid the default catalog. Catalog names can be adjusted per project needs.
