ESLint - Override rules from eslint-plugin-prettier

Question

I am using ESLint with the prettier plugin and configuration:

// eslintrc.js
extends: [
  `eslint:recommended`,
  `plugin:react/recommended`,
  `plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended`,
  `plugin:prettier/recommended`,
  `prettier/react`,
  `prettier/@typescript-eslint`
]

This work great, but I would like to disable a certain prettier rule, which is removing "unneeded" parentheses (removing them actually breaks my code):

// Replace `(state.counter)` with `state.counter` eslint(prettier/prettier)
return <div>{(state.counter)}</div>

As you can see from the message above, it doesnt state which rule exactly is causing this behavior and therefor I dont know which one to override.

I have tried to override all rules found in eslint-prettier-config, but nothing worked and I dont want to keep using // eslint-disable-next-line prettier/prettier.

Prettier is not so configurable. You can try configuration they have: https://prettier.io/docs/en/configuration.html

Put .prettierrc file, or eslint config like this:

{
  rules: {
   'prettier/prettier': [
      'error',
      {
        trailingComma: 'all',
        tabWidth: 2,
        semi: false,
        singleQuote: true,
        bracketSpacing: true,
        eslintIntegration: true,
        printWidth: 120,
      },
    ],
  }
}

It is not currently possible to disable that specific rule from prettier through configuration, but to override rules in eslint that come from the extends block, you can either write in the rule like this:

"rules": {
  "prettier/prettier": "off"
  "@typescript-eslint/no-use-before-define": [
    "error",
    { "functions": false, "variables": true, "classes": true },
  ],
}

Or to only override it for a specific file pattern you can override it in the overrides block.

"overrides": [
  {
    "files": ["*.html"],
    "rules": {
      "prettier/prettier": "off",
      "@typescript-eslint/unbound-method": "off"
    }
  }
]

Here I am showing both the config you were looking for, and an inherited rule from a nested package to show future visitors how to do it.
