2. Create a .eslintrc.js file at the root path and setup the ESlint config:

module.exports = {
  parser: '@typescript-eslint/parser',
  extends: [
    'plugin:react/recommended',
    'plugin:@typescript-eslint/parser',
  ],
  parserOptions:{
    ecmaVersion: 2018,
    ecmaFeatures: {
      jsx: true,
    },
    rules: {}
    settings: {
      react: {
        version: 'detect'
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Install the required dev dependencies for prettier:

yarn add prettier eslint-config-prettier eslint-plugin-prettier -D
