Adding backwards compatibility is a bit painful, so I'll implement the ESLint v9 compatibility changes as part of the next major version of the plugin.

Hello, @Belco90, thank you for setting this up as I can envision this being a pressing issue as more and more of us start to look into migrating to ESLint v9 and changing to use flat config.

While the related changes for compatibility for ESLint v9 are being implemented, are there any way for us to specify using the eslint-plugin-testing-library as a plugin in flat config ?( I am still on ESLint v8.57 so technically should still be able to use the testing library plugin, just that we have migrated to use flat config in preparation for the migration)

I have tried the typical way of importing the library and specifying it as a plugin under plugins, as per recommendations for the migration guide, but unfortunately it doesn't work. Not sure if there is a specific way that I should specify the plugin? ( such as specifying it diirectly in the config array like how we usually use for extends in the old config setup?)

Thank you!
