feat(tooling): add linter/formatter add-ons with preset selection #510
Description
Which project does this relate to?
Create TanStack App
Describe the feature
It would be nice if Create TanStack App could offer linter and formatter add-ons during project creation, with an optional second step for choosing a preset or setup.
For example:
? Select a linter / formatter
❯ Biome
Oxlint + Oxfmt
ESLint + Prettier
None
? Select a preset
❯ Recommended
Ultracite
Custom
The available presets could depend on what the user selected.
For example, selecting Biome could show:
? Select a Biome preset
❯ Recommended
Ultracite
None
While selecting ESLint could show:
? Select an ESLint setup
❯ Recommended
Ultracite
None
The selected setup should install the required dependencies and generate the appropriate configuration files and scripts.
Why
This would make popular linting and formatting setups much easier to choose when creating a new TanStack project.
It would also make setups like Biome + Ultracite or Oxlint + Oxfmt first class options instead of requiring users to configure them manually after creating the project.
Ideally this could build on the existing add-on and options system so that new tools and presets can be added without hardcoding everything into the CLI.
Example use cases
- Biome → recommended configuration
- Biome → Ultracite
- Biome → no preset
- Oxlint + Oxfmt → recommended configuration
- Oxlint + Oxfmt → Ultracite
- Oxlint + Oxfmt → no preset
- ESLint → recommended configuration
- ESLint → Ultracite
- ESLint → no preset
- Prettier → standalone formatter
- Oxfmt → standalone formatter

This fits the existing add-on options model, so preset selection can stay with each toolchain. Oxlint #524 is lint-only and does not cover Oxfmt or these presets.

The standalone Prettier part is now on main in #571, thanks for laying out the choices. Keeping this open for presets and the remaining toolchains.
