Migrate from ESLint to OxLint (#18443)
## Summary

Fully replaces ESLint with OxLint across the entire monorepo:

- **Replaced all ESLint configs** (`eslint.config.mjs`) with OxLint
configs (`.oxlintrc.json`) for every package: `twenty-front`,
`twenty-server`, `twenty-emails`, `twenty-ui`, `twenty-shared`,
`twenty-sdk`, `twenty-zapier`, `twenty-docs`, `twenty-website`,
`twenty-apps/*`, `create-twenty-app`
- **Migrated custom lint rules** from ESLint plugin format to OxLint JS
plugin system (`@oxlint/plugins`), including
`styled-components-prefixed-with-styled`, `no-hardcoded-colors`,
`sort-css-properties-alphabetically`,
`graphql-resolvers-should-be-guarded`,
`rest-api-methods-should-be-guarded`, `max-consts-per-file`, and
Jotai-related rules
- **Migrated custom rule tests** from ESLint `RuleTester` + Jest to
`oxlint/plugins-dev` `RuleTester` + Vitest
- **Removed all ESLint dependencies** from `package.json` files and
regenerated lockfiles
- **Updated Nx targets** (`lint`, `lint:diff-with-main`, `fmt`) in
`nx.json` and per-project `project.json` to use `oxlint` commands with
proper `dependsOn` for plugin builds
- **Updated CI workflows** (`.github/workflows/ci-*.yaml`) — no more
ESLint executor
- **Updated IDE setup**: replaced `dbaeumer.vscode-eslint` with
`oxc.oxc-vscode` extension, configured `source.fixAll.oxc` and
format-on-save with Prettier
- **Replaced all `eslint-disable` comments** with `oxlint-disable`
equivalents across the codebase
- **Updated docs** (`twenty-docs`) to reference OxLint instead of ESLint
- **Renamed** `twenty-eslint-rules` package to `twenty-oxlint-rules`

### Temporarily disabled rules (tracked in `OXLINT_MIGRATION_TODO.md`)

| Rule | Package | Violations | Auto-fixable |
|------|---------|-----------|-------------|
| `twenty/sort-css-properties-alphabetically` | twenty-front | 578 | Yes
|
| `typescript/consistent-type-imports` | twenty-server | 3814 | Yes |
| `twenty/max-consts-per-file` | twenty-server | 94 | No |

### Dropped plugins (no OxLint equivalent)

`eslint-plugin-project-structure`, `lingui/*`, `@stylistic/*`,
`import/order`, `prefer-arrow/prefer-arrow-functions`,
`eslint-plugin-mdx`, `@next/eslint-plugin-next`,
`eslint-plugin-storybook`, `eslint-plugin-react-refresh`. Partial
coverage for `jsx-a11y` and `unused-imports`.

### Additional fixes (pre-existing issues exposed by merge)

- Fixed `EmailThreadPreview.tsx` broken import from main rename
(`useOpenEmailThreadInSidePanel`)
- Restored truthiness guard in `getActivityTargetObjectRecords.ts`
- Fixed `AgentTurnResolver` return types to match entity (virtual
`fileMediaType`/`fileUrl` are resolved via `@ResolveField()`)

## Test plan

- [x] `npx nx lint twenty-front` passes
- [x] `npx nx lint twenty-server` passes
- [x] `npx nx lint twenty-docs` passes
- [x] Custom oxlint rules validated with Vitest: `npx nx test
twenty-oxlint-rules`
- [x] `npx nx typecheck twenty-front` passes
- [x] `npx nx typecheck twenty-server` passes
- [x] CI workflows trigger correctly with `dependsOn:
["twenty-oxlint-rules:build"]`
- [x] IDE linting works with `oxc.oxc-vscode` extension

title: Backend Commands
---
## Useful commands
These commands should be executed from packages/twenty-server folder.
From any other folder you can run `npx nx {command} twenty-server` (or `npx nx run twenty-server:{command}`).
### First time setup
```
npx nx database:reset twenty-server # setup the database with dev seeds
```
### Starting the server
```
npx nx run twenty-server:start
```
### Lint
```
npx nx run twenty-server:lint # pass --fix to fix lint errors
```
### Test
```
npx nx run twenty-server:test:unit # run unit tests
npx nx run twenty-server:test:integration # run integration tests
```
Note: you can run `npx nx run twenty-server:test:integration:with-db-reset` in case you need to reset the database before running the integration tests.
### Resetting the database
If you want to reset and seed the database, you can run the following command:
```bash
npx nx run twenty-server:database:reset
```
### Migrations
#### For objects in Core/Metadata schemas (TypeORM)
```bash
npx nx run twenty-server:typeorm migration:generate src/database/typeorm/core/migrations/nameOfYourMigration -d src/database/typeorm/core/core.datasource.ts
```
#### For Workspace objects
There are no migrations files, migration are generated automatically for each workspace,
stored in the database, and applied with this command
```bash
npx nx run twenty-server:command workspace:sync-metadata -f
```
<Warning>
This will drop the database and re-run the migrations and seed.
Make sure to back up any data you want to keep before running this command.
</Warning>
## Tech Stack
Twenty primarily uses NestJS for the backend.
Prisma was the first ORM we used. But in order to allow users to create custom fields and custom objects, a lower-level made more sense as we need to have fine-grained control. The project now uses TypeORM.
Here's what the tech stack now looks like.
**Core**
- [NestJS](https://nestjs.com/)
- [TypeORM](https://typeorm.io/)
- [GraphQL Yoga](https://the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server)
**Database**
- [Postgres](https://www.postgresql.org/)
**Third-party integrations**
- [Sentry](https://sentry.io/welcome/) for tracking bugs
**Testing**
- [Jest](https://jestjs.io/)
**Tooling**
- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/)
- [Oxlint](https://oxc.rs/docs/guide/usage/linter.html)
**Development**
- [AWS EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/eks/)
