boolean -> number and number -> string should be explicit. Probably
string -> number should be, too, but I'm not ready to turn on the lint
option yet.
This was supposed to be part of the big ESLint refactor but I forgot
to push it. <_<
ESLint has a whole new config format, so I figure it's a good time to
make the config system saner.
- First, we no longer have separate eslint-no-types configs. Lint
performance shouldn't be enough of a problem to justify the
relevant maintenance complexity.
- Second, our base config should work out-of-the-box now. `npx eslint`
will work as expected, without any CLI flags. You should still use
`npm run lint` which adds the `--cached` flag for performance.
- Third, whatever updates I did fixed style linting, which apparently
has been bugged for quite some time, considering all the obvious
mixed-tabs-and-spaces issues I found in the upgrade.
Also here are some changes to our style rules. In particular:
- Curly brackets (for objects etc) now have spaces inside them. Sorry
for the huge change. ESLint doesn't support our old style, and most
projects use Prettier style, so we might as well match them in this way.
See https://github.com/eslint-stylistic/eslint-stylistic/issues/415
- String + number concatenation is no longer allowed. We now
consistently use template strings for this.
TypeScript 4.8+ supports Lowercase for lowercase strings, which isn't
exactly what ID is, but can be used to type IDs in object keys and data
entries that previously required string. I'm calling it IDEntry in places
where it should be an ID but TypeScript doesn't support that.
Very conveniently, no additional casts will be needed when using ID
where IDEntry is expected.
It's caught at least a few bugs, which is also why I'm PRing: I didn't
write the code for the bugs it found, and don't know if it's the right
way to fix them.
This ballooned into several other type refactors.
