Option to opt-out of eslint-plugin-react

Current Behavior

tsdx supports eslint-plugin-react outof the box. If React is not used this warning pops up:

Warning: React version was set to "detect" in eslint-plugin-react settings, but the "react" package is not installed. Assuming latest React version for linting.

Desired Behavior

Opt-out of eslint plugins that are not in used. For example, I’m using tsdx to build a logger plugin for a specific library. I don’t need .eslintrc extendingreact-app, because my work is only node related.

Suggested Solution

My suggestion is to remove any dedicated eslint plugin except the ones that are typescript and prettier related. User would manually add additional rules to the project if needed, for example eslint-plugin-vue, and configure it in the local .eslintrc. This way tsdx remains decoupled from any specific library.

Who does this impact? Who is this for?

TypeScript users that develop plugins, libraries for NodeJS.

@zcuric, as I said, it definitely can be done. If you want to work on it, you just have to change the ESLint config that is created on the lint command. My point was that we are currently using a tool that handles more than just React, so removing it requires more changes and I’ll wait for some input from maintainers to suggest some changes.
