lauren 26b177bc5e [eprh] Fix recommended config for flat config compatibility (#34700)
Previously, the `recommended` config used the legacy ESLint format
(plugins as an array of strings). This causes errors when used with
ESLint v9's `defineConfig()` helper. This was following [eslint's own
docs](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/extend/plugins#backwards-compatibility-for-legacy-configs):

> With this approach, both configuration systems recognize
"recommended". The old config system uses the recommended key while the
current config system uses the flat/recommended key. The defineConfig()
helper first looks at the recommended key, and if that is not in the
correct format, it looks for the flat/recommended key. This allows you
an upgrade path if you’d later like to rename flat/recommended to
recommended when you no longer need to support the old config system.

However,
[`isLegacyConfig()`](https://github.com/eslint/rewrite/blob/main/packages/config-helpers/src/define-config.js#L73-L81)
(also see
[`eslintrcKeys`](https://github.com/eslint/rewrite/blob/main/packages/config-helpers/src/define-config.js#L24-L35))
function doesn't check for the `plugins` key, so our config was
incorrectly treated as flat config despite being in legacy format.

This PR fixes the issue, along with a few other fixes combined:

1. Convert `recommended` to flat config format
2. Separate basic rules (exhaustive-deps, rules-of-hooks) from compiler
rules
3. Add `recommended-latest-legacy` config for non-flat config users who
want all recommended rules (including compiler rules)
4. Adding more types for the exported config

Our shipped presets in 6.x.x will essentially be:
- `recommended-legacy`: legacy (non-flat), with basic rules only
- `recommended-latest-legacy`: legacy (non-flat), all rules (basic +
compiler)
- `flat/recommended`: flat, basic rules only (now the same as
recommended, but to avoid making a breaking change we'll just keep it
around in 6.x.x)
- `recommended-latest`: flat, all rules (basic + compiler)
- `recommended`: flat, basic rules only

In the next breaking release 7.x.x, we will collapse down the presets
into three:

- `recommended-legacy`: all recommended rules
- `recommended`: all recommended rules
- `recommended-experimental`: all recommended rules + new bleeding edge
experimental rules

Closes #34679

eslint-plugin-react-hooks

This ESLint plugin enforces the Rules of Hooks.

It is a part of the Hooks API for React.

Installation

Note: If you're using Create React App, please use react-scripts >= 3 instead of adding it directly.

Assuming you already have ESLint installed, run:

# npm
npm install eslint-plugin-react-hooks --save-dev

# yarn
yarn add eslint-plugin-react-hooks --dev

Flat Config (eslint.config.js|ts)

>= 6.0.0

For users of 6.0 and beyond, add the recommended config.

// eslint.config.js
import reactHooks from 'eslint-plugin-react-hooks';
import { defineConfig } from 'eslint/config';

export default defineConfig([
  {
    files: ["src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}"],
    plugins: {
      'react-hooks': reactHooks,
    },
    extends: ['react-hooks/recommended'],
  },
]);

5.2.0

For users of 5.2.0 (the first version with flat config support), add the recommended-latest config.

import reactHooks from 'eslint-plugin-react-hooks';
import { defineConfig } from 'eslint/config';

export default defineConfig([
  {
    files: ["src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}"],
    plugins: {
      'react-hooks': reactHooks,
    },
    extends: ['react-hooks/recommended-latest'],
  },
]);

Legacy Config (.eslintrc)

>= 5.2.0

If you are still using ESLint below 9.0.0, you can use recommended-legacy for accessing a legacy version of the recommended config.

{
  "extends": [
    // ...
    "plugin:react-hooks/recommended-legacy"
  ]
}

< 5.2.0

If you're using a version earlier than 5.2.0, the legacy config was simply recommended.

{
  "extends": [
    // ...
    "plugin:react-hooks/recommended"
  ]
}

Custom Configuration

If you want more fine-grained configuration, you can instead add a snippet like this to your ESLint configuration file:

Flat Config (eslint.config.js|ts)

import * as reactHooks from 'eslint-plugin-react-hooks';

export default [
  {
    files: ['**/*.{js,jsx}'],
    plugins: { 'react-hooks': reactHooks },
    // ...
    rules: {
      'react-hooks/rules-of-hooks': 'error',
      'react-hooks/exhaustive-deps': 'warn',
    }
  },
];

Legacy Config (.eslintrc)

{
  "plugins": [
    // ...
    "react-hooks"
  ],
  "rules": {
    // ...
    "react-hooks/rules-of-hooks": "error",
    "react-hooks/exhaustive-deps": "warn"
  }
}

Advanced Configuration

exhaustive-deps can be configured to validate dependencies of custom Hooks with the additionalHooks option. This option accepts a regex to match the names of custom Hooks that have dependencies.

{
  rules: {
    // ...
    "react-hooks/exhaustive-deps": ["warn", {
      additionalHooks: "(useMyCustomHook|useMyOtherCustomHook)"
    }]
  }
}

We suggest to use this option very sparingly, if at all. Generally saying, we recommend most custom Hooks to not use the dependencies argument, and instead provide a higher-level API that is more focused around a specific use case.

Valid and Invalid Examples

Please refer to the Rules of Hooks documentation to learn more about this rule.
