Overview
A multi-tool static analysis pipeline that combines TypeScript type checking and ESLint linting to catch errors before runtime across a monorepo.
Description
Code quality verification in a large monorepo requires coordinated static analysis across many packages. The Cypress approach uses two complementary tools: TypeScript type checking (tsc --noEmit) for type safety, and ESLint for code style and bug detection. A custom type_check.js script runs type checking across multiple packages concurrently using listr2, while ESLint is configured via a shared base configuration in packages/eslint-config/.
Key ESLint rules enforce Cypress-specific patterns: no synchronous filesystem calls (to prevent blocking the event loop), no duplicate imports, and restricted syntax patterns.
Usage
Use this principle before committing code changes to ensure type safety and code style compliance. Both tools run in CI and can be run locally.
Theoretical Basis
Quality Verification Pipeline:
1. TypeScript Type Checking:
node scripts/type_check.js -p packages/config packages/server ...
→ Runs tsc --noEmit for each package concurrently
→ Reports type errors with file:line references
2. ESLint:
eslint --fix src/
→ Applies shared config from @packages/eslint-config
→ Checks for code style violations
→ Auto-fixes where possible
