eslint-plugin-import-isolation v0.0.1

eslint-plugin-import-isolation

The Problem

Suppose you have two subdirectories under pages:

my-project
└── pages
   └── a
   └── b

You don't want modules under a to import anything from b. Existing plugins like eslint-plugin-import and eslint-plugin-code-import-patterns address this issue well. However, when you have tens of subdirectories under pages, configuring the rules becomes burdensome. This plugin is designed to solve this problem.

Usage

To use this plugin, configure ESLint as following:

plugins: ['import-isolation'],
rules: {
    'import-isolation/isolation': [
        'error',
        {
            isolationGroups: [
                {
                    directories: [
                        "modules/*",
                        // equivalent to
                        // "modules/a"
                        // "modules/b"
                        // ...
                    ]
                },
                {
                    directories: [
                        "modules/*/pages/*",
                        // equivalent to
                        // "modules/a/pages/aa",
                        // "modules/a/pages/ab",
                        // "modules/b/pages/ba",
                        // ...
                    ]
                },
            ]
        }
    ]
}

• isolationGroups includes several "isolation groups", where each group uses directories to specify multiple directories.
• All directories inside one isolation group cannot import from each other.
• You can use the wildcard * to specify multiple directories.
• Taking the example above, modules/a/a.js cannot import from modules/b/b.js, and modules/a/pages/pa.js cannot import from either modules/a/pages/pb.js or modules/b/pages/pa.js.
