ESLint `no-floating-promises`

[clouedoc]

Did you ever forget to await something and it made you loose a lot of time? Or perhaps you forgot to handle a promise rejection and it made you want to quit JavaScript? I bet you did at some point, and maybe you still do to this date. It feels like a design flaw in JavaScript, and I thought that TypeScript couldn't do anything about it, until...

... I've found out that there is a way to prevent unhandledPromiseRejections. I noticed that your project doesn't seem to have it configured so I couldn't help but open this issue.

What I'm talking about is the no-floating-promises rule.

Here is my .eslintrc.js for reference:

module.exports = {
  env: {
    es2021: true,
    node: true,
  },
  extends: ["eslint:recommended", "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended"],
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  parserOptions: { // you need to have this for `no-floating-promises` to work
    ecmaVersion: 12,
    sourceType: "module",
    project: "tsconfig.json",
  },
  plugins: ["@typescript-eslint"],
  rules: {
    "@typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises": "error", // holy rule
  },
};

You have to try it.

Interesting, I haven't updated this repo in a while but I'll look into this thanks
