Enforce a convention in the order of require()
/ import
statements.
+(fixable) The --fix
option on the [command line] automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.
The order is as shown in the following example:
// 1. node "builtin" modules
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
// 2. "external" modules
import _ from 'lodash';
import chalk from 'chalk';
// 3. "internal" modules
// (if you have configured your path or webpack to handle your internal paths differently)
import foo from 'src/foo';
// 4. modules from a "parent" directory
import foo from '../foo';
import qux from '../../foo/qux';
// 5. "sibling" modules from the same or a sibling's directory
import bar from './bar';
import baz from './bar/baz';
// 6. "index" of the current directory
import main from './';
Unassigned imports are ignored, as the order they are imported in may be important.
Statements using the ES6 import
syntax must appear before any require()
statements.
import _ from 'lodash';
import path from 'path'; // `path` import should occur before import of `lodash`
// -----
var _ = require('lodash');
var path = require('path'); // `path` import should occur before import of `lodash`
// -----
var path = require('path');
import foo from './foo'; // `import` statements must be before `require` statement
import path from 'path';
import _ from 'lodash';
// -----
var path = require('path');
var _ = require('lodash');
// -----
// Allowed as ̀`babel-register` is not assigned.
require('babel-register');
var path = require('path');
// -----
// Allowed as `import` must be before `require`
import foo from './foo';
var path = require('path');
This rule supports the following options:
How groups are defined, and the order to respect. groups
must be an array of string
or [string
]. The only allowed string
s are: "builtin"
, "external"
, "internal"
, "unknown"
, "parent"
, "sibling"
, "index"
. The enforced order is the same as the order of each element in a group. Omitted types are implicitly grouped together as the last element. Example:
[
'builtin', // Built-in types are first
['sibling', 'parent'], // Then sibling and parent types. They can be mingled together
'index', // Then the index file
// Then the rest: internal and external type
]
The default value is ["builtin", "external", "parent", "sibling", "index"]
.
You can set the options like this:
"import/order": ["error", {"groups": ["index", "sibling", "parent", "internal", "external", "builtin"]}]
To be able so group by paths mostly needed with aliases pathGroups can be defined.
Properties of the objects
property | required | type | description |
---|---|---|---|
pattern | x | string | minimatch pattern for the paths to be in this group (will not be used for builtins or externals) |
patternOptions | object | options for minimatch, default: { nocomment: true } | |
group | x | string | one of the allowed groups, the pathGroup will be positioned relative to this group |
position | string | defines where around the group the pathGroup will be positioned, can be 'after' or 'before', if not provided pathGroup will be positioned like the group |
{
"import/order": ["error", {
"pathGroups": [
{
"pattern": "~/**",
"group": "external"
}
]
}]
}
Enforces or forbids new lines between import groups:
- If set to
ignore
, no errors related to new lines between import groups will be reported (default). - If set to
always
, at least one new line between each group will be enforced, and new lines inside a group will be forbidden. To prevent multiple lines between imports, coreno-multiple-empty-lines
rule can be used. - If set to
always-and-inside-groups
, it will act likealways
except newlines are allowed inside import groups. - If set to
never
, no new lines are allowed in the entire import section.
With the default group setting, the following will be invalid:
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"newlines-between": "always"}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import index from './';
import sibling from './foo';
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"newlines-between": "always-and-inside-groups"}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import index from './';
import sibling from './foo';
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"newlines-between": "never"}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import index from './';
import sibling from './foo';
while those will be valid:
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"newlines-between": "always"}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import index from './';
import sibling from './foo';
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"newlines-between": "always-and-inside-groups"}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import index from './';
import sibling from './foo';
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"newlines-between": "never"}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import index from './';
import sibling from './foo';
Sort the order within each group in alphabetical manner based on import path:
order
: useasc
to sort in ascending order, anddesc
to sort in descending order (default:ignore
).
Example setting:
alphabetize: {
order: 'asc', /* sort in ascending order. Options: ['ignore', 'asc', 'desc'] */
}
This will fail the rule check:
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"alphabetize": true}] */
import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import aTypes from 'prop-types';
import { compose, apply } from 'xcompose';
import * as classnames from 'classnames';
While this will pass:
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"alphabetize": true}] */
import * as classnames from 'classnames';
import aTypes from 'prop-types';
import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import { compose, apply } from 'xcompose';
