I am using eslint and prettier (in vscode), and I configured the indent rule:

// .eslintrc
{
    // other settings...

    rules: {
        "indent": ["error", 4] // 4 whitespace indent
    }
}

// .prettierrc
{
    // other settings...

    "useTabs": false,
    "tabWidth": 4 // 4 whitespace indent
}

It works well in other places. But in this case, two plugins have some conflict:

// format by prettier
const rules = func(() => {
    const rule = {...};
    return condition
        ? [
              {
                  foo: rule.a,
                  bar: rule.b,
                  baz: rule.c
              }
          ]
        : [];
});

// correct code of eslint
const rules = func(() => {
    const rule = {...};
    return condition
        ? [
            {
                foo: rule.a,
                bar: rule.b,
                baz: rule.c
            }
        ]
        : [];
});

Prettier take 2 extra space to indent the object declare(and ]), so eslint throw some error like Expected indentation of x spaces but found x+2.

And when I try to remove the extra space, prettier will tip me Insert '··'(two whitespace).

I read eslint and prettier documents, but it seems have no solution about this.

I can turn off the rule in eslint to ignore this error, but have any better config to fix it?

To solve conflict

You can make eslint accept all the prettier formatings by doing the following

install eslint configuration for prettier

npm install eslint-config-prettier

And include it in the extends option in the file .eslintrc.js

extends: [
  ...,
  "prettier",
],

The problem also is mentioned on a GitHub issue.
ESLint and Prettier have different indentation implementations and they will conflict with each other.
You should turn off ESLint indentation check when using prettier.

// .eslintrc
{
    // other settings...

    rules: {
        "indent": "off"
    }
}

Works for me:

// .eslintrc
{
    rules: {
        "indent": ["error", 4, {"SwitchCase": 1, "offsetTernaryExpressions": true}]
