Is it a good idea to use ESLint and stylelint together in the same project

Question

Does ESLint and Stylelint do the same thing (linting) the project or is one used specifically for certain files? Can I use them both in the same project? Is it a good idea to use more than one linter in general in the same project?

Answer 1

It would be totally appropriate to pair ESLint and Stylelint together. ESLint is for JavaScript, and Stylelint is for CSS.

Generally, I would make sure you're only using one linter per language, since you don't want them fighting with each other; however, as you can see above, it's quite common to use multiple linters for projects that use multiple languages.

Let me know if you have any more questions!
