Poetic is an open-source NPM package that automatically installs and maintains ESLint, Prettier, EditorConfig, and Airbnb rules for JavaScript, TypeScript and React.

Keeping the code clean and organized is important to prevent bugs and to collaborate with others. Linters help identify possible errors and bad practices and formatters allow us to concentrate on the features without having to worry about the code format. Unfortunately, configuring and maintaining these tools is cumbersome and more often than not, the project ends up with incorrect configurations (if any at all).

The goal of Poetic is to simplify the setup and maintenance of code styling tools and rules while allowing full customization.
