Added Linting as a part of CI

[tarunsinghofficial]

Overview

This PR introduces and fixes #392 for automated linting to our Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline. It aims to ensure consistent code style and catch potential errors early in the development process.

Changes

• Added a new GitHub Actions workflow file: .github/workflows/ci.yml
• Configured the workflow to run on push to main/master branches and on pull requests
• Added a .prettierignore to ignore some package managers
• Implemented Prettier and ESLint checks for all files
• Added specific checks for changed files in pull requests

Implementation Details

The new CI workflow does the following:

1. Check out the code
2. Sets up Node.js
3. Installs dependencies
4. Runs Prettier on all files
5. Runs ESLint on all files
6. For pull requests, run Prettier and ESLint on changed files only

Notes

• Caching of npm artifacts was considered but not implemented. We can add this later if build times become an issue.
• The workflow is configured to use Node.js version 18. We may need to update this in the future.

Please review and let me know if any changes or additions are needed.
