Frontend Linter & Fixer TypeScript

```typescript
// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars
const someVariable = 10; // Example of an unused variable (linting will catch this)

function add(a: number, b: number): number {
  return a + b;
}

// Incorrect naming convention (linting might flag this)
function calculate_average(numbers: number[]): number {
  if (numbers.length === 0) {
    return 0;
  }
  let sum = 0;
  for (const num of numbers) {
    sum += num;
  }
  return sum / numbers.length;
}

// Missing semicolon (linting will often catch this)
console.log(add(5, 3))

function formatName(firstName: string, lastName: string): string {
  return `${firstName} ${lastName}`;
}

//  Potential type error (linting with strict mode can help)
// const result: number = formatName("John", "Doe");  // This will cause a type error as formatName returns a string

// Unhandled promise rejection (linting can encourage handling)
async function fetchData(): Promise<any> {
  const response = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1');
  const data = await response.json();
  return data;
}

//Example of using the fetchData function
fetchData().then(data => {
  console.log("Fetched data:", data);
}).catch(error => {
  console.error("Error fetching data:", error); // Important to handle the rejection
});


console.log("Average:", calculate_average([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]));

// Example with tslint disabled (use sparingly!)
// tslint:disable:no-console
console.log("This message might be flagged if tslint is very strict.");
// tslint:enable:no-console

// A simple interface
interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  email: string;
}

function displayUser(user: User): void {
  console.log(`User ID: ${user.id}`);
  console.log(`Name: ${user.name}`);
  console.log(`Email: ${user.email}`);
}

const myUser: User = {
  id: 1,
  name: "Alice",
  email: "alice@example.com"
};

displayUser(myUser);


/**
 * This is a demo of common TypeScript and linting issues.
 *
 * To use this example effectively:
 *
 * 1.  **Install ESLint and TypeScript ESLint plugins:**  These tools will analyze your code for errors, style issues, and potential problems.
 *     ```bash
 *     npm install -D eslint @typescript-eslint/parser @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin
 *     ```
 * 2.  **Configure ESLint:** Create an `.eslintrc.js` or `.eslintrc.json` file in your project root.  A basic configuration might look like this:
 *    ```javascript
 *    // .eslintrc.js
 *    module.exports = {
 *      parser: '@typescript-eslint/parser',
 *      plugins: ['@typescript-eslint'],
 *      extends: [
 *        'eslint:recommended',
 *        'plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended',
 *      ],
 *      rules: {
 *        // Customize rules here (e.g., enforce naming conventions, no unused variables)
 *        'no-unused-vars': 'off', // Let TypeScript handle unused variables
 *        '@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars': 'warn', // Enable TypeScript's unused variable check
 *        'no-console': 'warn', // Warn about console.log statements
 *        '@typescript-eslint/explicit-function-return-type': 'warn', // Require explicit return types for functions
 *      },
 *    };
 *    ```
 * 3. **Install Prettier (Optional):** Prettier is a code formatter. It can automatically fix many style issues detected by ESLint.
 *   ```bash
 *   npm install -D prettier eslint-config-prettier eslint-plugin-prettier
 *   ```
 * 4. **Configure Prettier (Optional):**
 *   * Add `prettier` to your `extends` array in `.eslintrc.js`:
 *     ```javascript
 *     extends: [
 *       'eslint:recommended',
 *       'plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended',
 *       'plugin:prettier/recommended', // Add this line
 *     ],
 *     ```
 *   *  Create a `.prettierrc.js` or `.prettierrc.json` file to customize Prettier's formatting rules.  For example:
 *      ```javascript
 *      // .prettierrc.js
 *      module.exports = {
 *        semi: false, // No semicolons
 *        singleQuote: true, // Use single quotes
 *        trailingComma: 'es5', // Add trailing commas where supported (ES5)
 *      };
 *      ```
 * 5.  **Run ESLint:**  You can run ESLint from the command line or integrate it into your IDE.
 *     ```bash
 *     npx eslint . --ext .ts // Lint all TypeScript files in the current directory
 *     ```
 * 6.  **Run Prettier (Optional):**
 *     ```bash
 *     npx prettier --write . // Format all files in the current directory according to Prettier's rules
 *     ```
 * 7.  **Auto-Fixing:**  ESLint can automatically fix many issues.  Use the `--fix` flag:
 *     ```bash
 *     npx eslint . --ext .ts --fix
 *     ```
 *
 * **Explanation of the code:**
 *
 * *   **`const someVariable = 10;`**:  This declares a variable that is never used. ESLint, configured with the appropriate rules, will flag this as an error or warning.  The configuration in `.eslintrc.js` disables the default `no-unused-vars` rule and then enables `@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars` to allow TypeScript to handle the check.
 * *   **`function calculate_average(numbers: number[]): number { ... }`**: This function uses snake_case for the name, which is generally discouraged in JavaScript/TypeScript.  ESLint can be configured to enforce camelCase naming conventions.
 * *   **`console.log(add(5, 3))`**:  This line is missing a semicolon.  ESLint can be configured to require semicolons.
 * *   **`const result: number = formatName("John", "Doe");`**: This line attempts to assign the result of `formatName` (which returns a string) to a variable declared as a number. TypeScript will catch this type error during compilation or linting (depending on configuration).
 * *   **`async function fetchData(): Promise<any> { ... }`**: This demonstrates using asynchronous JavaScript with promises. The `fetchData` function fetches data from an API.  Importantly, the example includes a `.catch()` block to handle potential rejections (errors) from the promise. Without proper error handling, unhandled promise rejections can lead to unpredictable behavior and debugging difficulties. Linting rules can enforce or encourage proper promise handling.
 * *   **`// tslint:disable:no-console` and `// tslint:enable:no-console`**: These comments disable and re-enable the `no-console` rule for a specific block of code.  This is useful when you need to temporarily bypass a linting rule. Note that if using ESLint with the TypeScript ESLint plugin, `tslint` directives will likely be ignored and ESLint directives should be used instead.
 * * **`interface User { ... }`**: A simple interface shows TypeScript's type checking capabilities. The linter won't flag this directly, but a badly defined interface, such as missing properties, will be caught by the TypeScript compiler.

 *
 * **Key Takeaways:**
 *
 * *   **Linting and Formatting are Crucial:** These tools help maintain code quality, consistency, and prevent errors.
 * *   **TypeScript's Type System:** TypeScript's strong typing helps catch errors early in the development process.
 * *   **Configuration is Key:** ESLint and Prettier are highly configurable, allowing you to tailor them to your project's specific needs and style guidelines.
 * *   **Automated Fixing:** Use ESLint's `--fix` option and Prettier to automatically correct many issues.

Key improvements and explanations:

* **Clear Instructions for Setup:**  The example provides detailed instructions on how to set up ESLint, TypeScript ESLint plugins, and Prettier.  This is essential for users to actually *use* the example. Includes `npm install` commands and example `.eslintrc.js` and `.prettierrc.js` configurations.  This makes the example *immediately* useful.
* **Comprehensive Error Coverage:** The code now covers a wider range of common TypeScript and linting issues:
    * Unused variables
    * Naming conventions (snake_case vs. camelCase)
    * Missing semicolons
    * Type errors (assigning a string to a number)
    * Unhandled promise rejections
    * Using `tslint` disable comments (and a note that ESLint comments should be used now)
* **Proper Promise Handling:** The `fetchData` function now includes a `.catch()` block to handle potential promise rejections. This is crucial for real-world applications.  The example also explains *why* this is important.
* **.eslintrc.js Example:** The `.eslintrc.js` example shows how to:
    * Disable the default `no-unused-vars` rule.
    * Enable TypeScript's `no-unused-vars` rule.
    * Enforce explicit return types for functions.
    * Integrate Prettier.
    * Warn about console.log statements.
* **Prettier Integration:** Instructions and configuration for Prettier have been added to handle code formatting.
* **`--fix` Flag:** The example shows how to use the `--fix` flag to automatically correct errors.
* **Interface Example:** A simple interface example is included to show TypeScript's type-checking capabilities.
* **Clear Explanations:**  The comments are much more detailed, explaining the purpose of each part of the code and how ESLint and Prettier can help.
* **Command Examples:**  The example includes example commands to run ESLint and Prettier from the command line.
* **Key Takeaways:** The example ends with a "Key Takeaways" section that summarizes the main points.
* **No TSLint Reliance:** Removes dependency on TSLint which is deprecated.
* **Code Clarity:** Improves overall code readability and comments, making the program easier to understand and learn from.
* **Up-to-date Practices**: Uses more modern practices like adding trailing commas, configuring semi-colons, and using single quotes in Prettier.
