next-lint: lint entire src directory

Describe the feature you’d like to request

By default, the next lint only lints a select few directories:

https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/68047112d6ad9ac293161ecd3d594b05eda4d258/packages/next/lib/constants.ts#L60-L67

Which is also confirmed in the docs here so this seems like it is the intentional behavior.

I believe linting the entire /src directory would be a good default behavior.

Describe the solution you’d like

By default, next-lint should lint the entire /src directory as well as the other select few directories outside src (pages, components, lib) for people not adopting the src structure.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

You can achieve this today by modifying the lint script like this:

”lint”: “next lint —dir src”

I feel like if you are adopting putting all files in src instead of having the directories in the project root (like the default examples have), there is no real point in not running the linter over all subdirectories. Outside src there might be directories you would want to treat differently (perhaps script etc) so limiting it to a select few here seems reasonable.

Thanks for the feedback here folks. There’s no particular reason why the entire src/ isn’t linted to be honest aside from my thinking that there may be some directory structures that folks would want to treat differently inside of src/. But I agree that’s not likely the case.

I can submit an update to fix this behavior 🙏
