 ### Extended ESLint Rules
 
-The idea behind this config is to enforce consistency across all projects. We've tried to keep the rules as minimal as possible, and for the most part simply inherit from the recommended rules of the plugins we use. The main exceptions are when it comes to the following. **Note**: We've purposely only defined rules that are auto fixable, these rules should make it easier to write code, and not get in the way.

+- `TSEnumDeclaration` - Error when using Enums, let's push for `const X as const` since it's more declarative that it outputs JS. Enums are in a weird in between state that they are both types and constants. This makes them confusing on how to use them and what the output will be.
+
+**Note**: The `TSEnumDeclaration` is our only rule that can't be auto-fixed by Eslint. This is because based on what we need the enum for the corrected approach might differ.

 ### Quotes
 
 We enforce the use of "double quotes" when possible. We defined this with the intent of it being applied as a auto-fixable rule to enforce consistency with [prettier](https://prettier.io/docs/en/rationale.html#strings).
