How deeply does Essential TypeScript 5, Third Edition cover linter rule?

Explains numeric configuration values and statement-level suppression, but does not detail rule implementation internals.

Linter rule

As explained in Essential TypeScript 5, Third Edition

A linting rule is a configurable condition that determines whether a linter reports a particular source-code pattern or violation.

A linter rule checks for a particular source-code pattern and reports a warning when the configured condition is met. Useful rules should produce warnings worth addressing; excessive noise can make important problems easier to ignore. section 6.3.1

Configure a rule at the scope where its guidance makes sense:

Set a rule to 1 or 0 in the rules section of .eslintrc to enable or disable it across the project. section 6.3.1
Use eslint-disable-line followed by rule names to suppress a rule for one statement, such as allowing debugger during investigation. section 6.3.1

Project-wide and local suppression

In tools/.eslintrc, set "prefer-const": 0 when that warning is not useful for the project. In src/index.ts, write debugger; // eslint-disable-line no-debugger to permit debugging on one statement without disabling the rule everywhere.
