Applied Coding practices / ESLint Rules:

• indent: use tab (2 space tab) instead of spaces to not get an error.
• linebreak-style: use \n for a newline, if you're on windows, configure it in your editor settings.
• quotes: use single quote instead of double quote.
• semi: use semi colon at end of each statement / expression / function definition.
• comma-dangle: do not use dangling commas i.e. extra comma at the end of object values, function args, etc.). More about this here.
• More pre-configured rules from eslint:recommended you must follow to not get errors here.

Developing:

Run each of these commands in separate terminals:
