eslint-plugin-no-index-import

This ESLint plugin disallows imports from index files to enforce better module structure and avoid potential issues with circular dependencies.

Installation

To install the plugin, you need to have ESLint already installed in your project. If you don't have ESLint installed, you can install it using npm or yarn:

1npm install eslint --save-dev
2# or
3yarn add eslint --dev

Then, install the eslint-plugin-no-index-import plugin:

1npm install @kubit-ui-web/eslint-plugin-no-index-import --save-dev
2# or
3yarn add @kubit-ui-web/eslint-plugin-no-index-import --dev

Usage

To use the plugin, you need to add it to your ESLint configuration file (e.g., .eslintrc.js).

Basic Configuration

Add no-index-import to the plugins array and configure the rule in the rules section:

1module.exports = {
2  // Other ESLint configurations...
3  plugins: ['@kubit-ui-web/no-index-import'],
4  rules: {
5    '@kubit-ui-web/no-index-import/no-index-import': 'error',
6  },
7};

Advanced Configuration

You can also configure aliases and ignore specific imports:

1module.exports = {
2  // Other ESLint configurations...
3  plugins: ['@kubit-ui-web/no-index-import'],
4  rules: {
5    '@kubit-ui-web/no-index-import/no-index-import': [
6      'error',
7      {
8        aliases: {
9          '@components': './src/components',
10          '@utils': './src/utils',
11        },
12        ignoreImports: ['@/components/loader', '@/types/customToken'],
13      },
14    ],
15  },
16};

Example Configuration

Here is an example of a complete ESLint configuration file with the no-index-import plugin:

1module.exports = {
2  env: {
3    browser: true,
4    es2021: true,
5  },
6  extends: [
7    'eslint:recommended',
8    'plugin:react/recommended',
9    'plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended',
10  ],
11  parser: '@typescript-eslint/parser',
12  parserOptions: {
13    ecmaFeatures: {
14      jsx: true,
15    },
16    ecmaVersion: 12,
17    sourceType: 'module',
18  },
19  plugins: [
20    'react',
21    '@typescript-eslint',
22    '@kubit-ui-web/no-index-import/no-index-import',
23  ],
24  rules: {
25    '@kubit-ui-web/no-index-import/no-index-import': [
26      'error',
27      {
28        aliases: {
29          '@components': './src/components',
30          '@utils': './src/utils',
31        },
32        ignoreImports: ['@/components/loader', '@/types/customToken'],
33      },
34    ],
35  },
36};

Rule Details

This rule disallows importing from index files or directories containing an index file. It helps to enforce better module structure and avoid potential issues with circular dependencies.

Options

• aliases: An object where keys are alias names and values are the corresponding paths.
• ignoreImports: An array of import paths to ignore.

Example

Given the following project structure:

1src/
2  components/
3    index.ts
4    button.ts
5  utils/
6    index.ts
7    logger.ts
8  index.ts

The following imports would be disallowed:

1import { Button } from '@/components'; // Disallowed
2import { Logger } from '@/utils'; // Disallowed

But the following imports would be allowed:

1import { Button } from '@/components/button'; // Allowed
2import { Logger } from '@/utils/logger'; // Allowed
