Joseph Savona 7d29ecbeb2 [compiler] Aggregate error reporting, separate eslint rules (#34176)
NOTE: this is a merged version of @mofeiZ's original PR along with my
edits per offline discussion. The description is updated to reflect the
latest approach.

The key problem we're trying to solve with this PR is to allow
developers more control over the compiler's various validations. The
idea is to have a number of rules targeting a specific category of
issues, such as enforcing immutability of props/state/etc or disallowing
access to refs during render. We don't want to have to run the compiler
again for every single rule, though, so @mofeiZ added an LRU cache that
caches the full compilation output of N most recent files. The first
rule to run on a given file will cause it to get cached, and then
subsequent rules can pull from the cache, with each rule filtering down
to its specific category of errors.

For the categories, I went through and assigned a category roughly 1:1
to existing validations, and then used my judgement on some places that
felt distinct enough to warrant a separate error. Every error in the
compiler now has to supply both a severity (for legacy reasons) and a
category (for ESLint). Each category corresponds 1:1 to a ESLint rule
definition, so that the set of rules is automatically populated based on
the defined categories.

Categories include a flag for whether they should be in the recommended
set or not.

Note that as with the original version of this PR, only
eslint-plugin-react-compiler is changed. We still have to update the
main lint rule.

## Test Plan

* Created a sample project using ESLint v9 and verified that the plugin
can be configured correctly and detects errors
* Edited `fixtures/eslint-v9` and introduced errors, verified that the w
latest config changes in that fixture it correctly detects the errors
* In the sample project, confirmed that the LRU caching is correctly
caching compiler output, ie compiling files just once.

eslint-plugin-react-hooks

This ESLint plugin enforces the Rules of Hooks.

It is a part of the Hooks API for React.

Installation

Note: If you're using Create React App, please use react-scripts >= 3 instead of adding it directly.

Assuming you already have ESLint installed, run:

# npm
npm install eslint-plugin-react-hooks --save-dev

# yarn
yarn add eslint-plugin-react-hooks --dev

Flat Config (eslint.config.js|ts)

>= 6.0.0

For users of 6.0 and beyond, simply add the recommended config.

import * as reactHooks from 'eslint-plugin-react-hooks';

export default [
  // ...
  reactHooks.configs.recommended,
];

5.2.0

For users of 5.2.0 (the first version with flat config support), add the recommended-latest config.

import * as reactHooks from 'eslint-plugin-react-hooks';

export default [
  // ...
  reactHooks.configs['recommended-latest'],
];

Legacy Config (.eslintrc)

>= 5.2.0

If you are still using ESLint below 9.0.0, you can use recommended-legacy for accessing a legacy version of the recommended config.

{
  "extends": [
    // ...
    "plugin:react-hooks/recommended-legacy"
  ]
}

< 5.2.0

If you're using a version earlier than 5.2.0, the legacy config was simply recommended.

{
  "extends": [
    // ...
    "plugin:react-hooks/recommended"
  ]
}

Custom Configuration

If you want more fine-grained configuration, you can instead add a snippet like this to your ESLint configuration file:

Flat Config (eslint.config.js|ts)

import * as reactHooks from 'eslint-plugin-react-hooks';

export default [
  {
    files: ['**/*.{js,jsx}'],
    plugins: { 'react-hooks': reactHooks },
    // ...
    rules: {
      'react-hooks/rules-of-hooks': 'error',
      'react-hooks/exhaustive-deps': 'warn',
    }
  },
];

Legacy Config (.eslintrc)

{
  "plugins": [
    // ...
    "react-hooks"
  ],
  "rules": {
    // ...
    "react-hooks/rules-of-hooks": "error",
    "react-hooks/exhaustive-deps": "warn"
  }
}

Advanced Configuration

exhaustive-deps can be configured to validate dependencies of custom Hooks with the additionalHooks option. This option accepts a regex to match the names of custom Hooks that have dependencies.

{
  rules: {
    // ...
    "react-hooks/exhaustive-deps": ["warn", {
      additionalHooks: "(useMyCustomHook|useMyOtherCustomHook)"
    }]
  }
}

We suggest to use this option very sparingly, if at all. Generally saying, we recommend most custom Hooks to not use the dependencies argument, and instead provide a higher-level API that is more focused around a specific use case.

Valid and Invalid Examples
