> Utilities for working with TypeScript + ESLint together. ✨

This package contains public utilities for writing custom rules and plugins in TypeScript.
Rules declared in [`@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin`](./ESLint_Plugin.mdx) are created using these utility functions.
Any custom rules you write generally will be as well.

> See [Custom Rules](../developers/Custom_Rules.mdx) for documentation on creating your own custom ESLint rules for TypeScript code.
