Eslint-plugin-depend NPM

eslint-plugin-depend

This is an ESLint plugin to help suggest alternatives to various dependencies.

Primarily, it will help detect dependency tree bloat and redundant polyfills.

Install

npm i -D eslint-plugin-depend

Usage

If you're using the new flat config files, add to your eslint.config.js:

import * as depend from 'eslint-plugin-depend';

export default [
  depend.configs['flat/recommended'],

  // or if you want to specify `files`, or other options
  {
    ...depend.configs['flat/recommended'],
    files: ['test/**/*.js']
  }
];

For older legacy projects, add to your .eslintrc.json:

{
  "extends": [
    "plugin:depend/recommended"
  ]
}

With `package.json`

Some rules (e.g. ban-dependencies) can be used against your package.json.

You can achieve this by using jsonc-eslint-parser.

For example, in your .eslintrc.json:

{
  "overrides": [
    {
      "files": ["package.json"],
      "parser": "jsonc-eslint-parser",
      "plugins": ["depend"],
      "rules": {
        "depend/ban-dependencies": "error"
      }
    }
  ]
}
