Recommendations Needed for Using FlatCompat in CommonJS eslint Configs

[rostislav-simonik]

We are currently working on migrating our eslint configs to flat configs, but are facing a high level of complexity in the process. I'm seeking recommendations or best practices on how to effectively use FlatCompat in CommonJS eslint configs.

Utilization of FlatCompat in CommonJS:

• How can FlatCompat be effectively used within CommonJS eslint configs?
• Are there any best practices or recommended approaches to facilitate this integration?

Support for CommonJS Projects:

• Has consideration been given to publishing the FlatCompat utility with support specifically for CommonJS projects?

Your insights and advice regarding these queries will be greatly valuable and appreciated.

In CommonJS, you can just use require():

const { FlatCompat } = require("@eslint/eslintrc");

Otherwise, you can use the example in the README mostly as-is. We can probably update that with a CommonJS example to avoid confusion.

Thanks, yes, that was one of the things that was crucial to proceed further. Now, we are battling how to integrate eslint-config-standard-with-typescript and other configs using FlatCompat. There are a few concerns about that here typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint#7694, but it looks promising on our side so far.
