Material-ui: eslint-plugin-react is presented inside package.json but not used in .eslintrc.js

[WebDeg-Brian]

This is not an issue, I'm just trying to understand the codebase. I don't think it would be approriate to post this question on StackOverflow or Twitter.
I saw the eslint-plugin-react inside package.json, however it is not used inside .eslintrc.js? Is it intentional? If so, why's that?
Thank you and sorry for an off-topic question

@WebDeg-Brian Good question, it's a peer dependency: https://github.com/airbnb/javascript/blob/064e3bf8d578736c38a7d74419ea6ba10ee46d8f/packages/eslint-config-airbnb/package.json#L79.

Hi @oliviertassinari thanks for the clarification! One last question regarding this issue, why did you declare jsx-a11y and import as plugins? Hasn't Airbnb config already declared these?

[oliviertassinari]

@WebDeg-Brian We haven't changed the eslint configuration for a long time. It can probably be simplified now. Did you have a closer look?

[WebDeg-Brian]

@oliviertassinari I cloned the project and remove those 2 plugins and it still works. Btw I looked into the component files and saw everything sorted in alphabetically order (object destructuring, default props, prop-types, etc.) I already know how to sort prop-types but not the other two. Is there a plugin for it?

[oliviertassinari]

@WebDeg-Brian I sort the properties with Sublime Text. Do you want to submit a pull request removing the two plugins as already provided by Airbnb? When you say it works, does it mean it still reporting failing cases?

[WebDeg-Brian]

@oliviertassinari Theoretically it should work. I will give it even a closer look and make a pull request if it actually works this weekend
