Release Notes

WordPress/gutenberg (@​wordpress/eslint-plugin)

v25.0.0

Compare Source

Breaking Changes

• Upgraded to ESLint v10 with flat config format. The plugin now exports flat config arrays instead of eslintrc objects. Consumers must migrate from .eslintrc.* files to eslint.config.mjs. See the migration guide for details (#​76654).
• The minimum required ESLint version is now ^9.0.0 || ^10.0.0 (#​76654).
• Upgraded eslint-plugin-import to v2.31+ (wrapped with fixupPluginRules for flat config compatibility) (#​76654).
• Upgraded @typescript-eslint/* from v6 to v8 (via the unified typescript-eslint package) (#​76654).
• Replaced eslint-plugin-eslint-comments with @eslint-community/eslint-plugin-eslint-comments. Rule prefixes changed from eslint-comments/* to @eslint-community/eslint-comments/* (#​76654).

New Features

• Added @wordpress/eslint-plugin/eslintrc entry point — a compatibility wrapper for ESLint v9 consumers still using .eslintrc.* files. This is deprecated and will be removed in a future major version (#​76654).
• Configs are now exported as flat config arrays (e.g., wordpress.configs.recommended returns an array of config objects suitable for spreading into eslint.config.mjs) (#​76654).

Enhancements

• Disabled the jsx-a11y/heading-has-content rule in the recommended configuration, which reports many false positives when heading elements are passed via a render prop (#​77073).
• Update use-recommended-components rule to allow Text from @wordpress/ui (#​77044).

v24.5.0

Compare Source

v24.4.0

Compare Source

New Features

• Added no-dom-globals-in-module-scope, no-dom-globals-in-constructor, no-dom-globals-in-react-cc-render, and no-dom-globals-in-react-fc rules to prevent DOM global usage in SSR-unsafe contexts, replacing the unmaintained eslint-plugin-ssr-friendly package (#​76508).
• Added use-recommended-components rule to encourage the use of recommended UI components in a WordPress environment (#​76222).
• Added no-unmerged-classname rule to flag components that set an explicit className while spreading rest props without destructuring and merging the incoming className (#​76458).

Enhancements

• The no-unknown-ds-tokens rule now reports bare --wpds-* tokens not wrapped in var(), which would silently miss build-time fallback injection.
• The no-setting-ds-tokens rule now checks all object property keys, not just those inside JSX style attributes (#​76212).

v24.3.0

Compare Source

New Features

• Added no-ds-tokens rule to disallow usage of Design System token CSS custom properties (--wpds-*).

Enhancements

• The no-unknown-ds-tokens rule now checks all string literals and template literals, not just JSX style attributes. It also reports dynamically constructed --wpds-* token names.

v24.2.1

Compare Source

v24.2.0

Compare Source

v24.1.0

Compare Source

Enhancements

• The dependency-group rule now accepts an optional "never" mode to forbid dependency group comments.

v24.0.0

Compare Source

Breaking Changes

• Updated recommended ruleset to enforce import/no-unresolved for @wordpress/ packages. These packages were previously exempted from the rule. (#​72978)
• Removed default configuration of import/internal-regex to classify @wordpress/ packages as internal. From the perspective of an external consumer of this package, @wordpress/ packages should be considered external. (#​72978)

New Features

• Added no-setting-ds-tokens rule to disallow setting Design System token CSS custom properties (--wpds-*). (#​74325)
• Added no-unknown-ds-tokens rule to disallow unknown Design System tokens. (#​74325)
• Added components-no-missing-40px-size-prop rule to opt-in to the new 40px default size for components from the @wordpress/components package. (#​74611)
• Added components-no-unsafe-button-disabled rule to ensure that buttons from the @wordpress/components package are accessible when disabled. (#​74611)

Enhancements

• The dependency-group rule is not recommended anymore. (#​73616)
