Load .oxlintrc.jsonc from current directory automatically?

[darcien]

Oxlint already load .oxlintrc.json from current directory automatically.

This PR #2121 added .jsonc extension support for config file.

Current version (Version: 0.15.7) does not look for .oxlintrc.jsonc.

Since oxlint already support .jsonc extension, loading .oxlintrc.jsonc automatically would be nice to have.

For now oxlint -c .oxlintrc.jsonc works just fine.

As far as I can tell, you don't really need to name the extension .jsonc for comments to work.

Yup that's right.

In my use case, I'm using VSCode.

The built in JSON LSP complains if the .json file contains comment:

To tell the LSP it should treat the JSON file as JSONC, I only know 2 ways:

• Use .jsonc extension
• Manually change the language mode for the file to JSONC instead of JSON

Since I'm not the only person working in the git repo, I prefer if the JSONC treatment is committed to the repo so others can use it without additional config.

After digging into VSCode config, turns out there is a setting for this!

I can tell VSCode to treat .oxlintrc.json as JSONC and commit it to the repo.

{
  // in .vscode/settings.json
  "files.associations": {
    ".oxlintrc.json": "jsonc"
  },
}

Sorry for the noises. We can close this instead of adding more magic behavior to oxlint config loading.

We oriented us on the eslint v8 autoload naming:
https://eslint.org/docs/v8.x/use/configure/configuration-files#configuration-file-formats
Because we only support JSON, there was only one option left.

You can read on the implemented PR a little bit more about it : #7348 (comment)

When you are using github you can add this to your .gitattributes file too:

# Use JSONC for syntax highlighting on github.com
*.json linguist-language=jsonc

We can close this instead of adding more magic behavior to oxlint config loading.

For simplicity I would like to keep one file name.
