eslint-plugin-import-path

library0.0.2jsnpmunverified

A tiny ESLint plugin (v0.0.2) for checking import/export paths against forbidden patterns and depth limits. It allows defining regex-based or substring-based blacklists and a maximum parent directory depth. Unlike the more comprehensive eslint-plugin-import, this plugin focuses solely on simple path validation without full module resolution. It is stable enough for development use, but the version 0.0.2 indicates it is still in early stages with no release cadence. Key differentiators: lightweight, no external dependencies beyond ESLint, and supports both regex and substring matching with custom error messages.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

eslint-plugin-import-path

✓ import 'eslint-plugin-import-path' // no symbols to import, just side effects

✗ import { /index$ } from 'eslint-plugin-import-path'

This is a plugin, not a module with exports. It is loaded via ESLint's plugins configuration, not imported in code.

rules

✓ // In .eslintrc: "rules": { "import-path/forbidden": ["error", ["/index$"]] }

✗ // Trying to import a rule object: const { forbidden } = require('eslint-plugin-import-path');

Rules are configured inside ESLint config, not imported as JavaScript objects.

Installs the plugin and configures two rules: forbidding paths ending in '/index' and limiting parent directory depth to 2.

// Install the plugin npm install eslint-plugin-import-path --save-dev // In your .eslintrc (JSON or JS config): { "plugins": ["import-path"], "rules": { "import-path/forbidden": ["warn", ["/index$"]], "import-path/parent-depth": ["warn", 2] } } // Now ESLint will warn on imports like: import Foo from 'somewhere/index'; // warns: path matches /index$ import Bar from '../../../../../deep'; // warns: depth > 2

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe 'forbidden' rule uses regex strings; ensure you escape backslashes and special characters appropriately in JSON.

fix

Use double escaping in JSON strings, e.g., 'match': '\\.' for a literal '.'

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe 'forbidden' rule with 'contains' property does simple substring matching, not regex; ensure you use 'match' for regex patterns.

fix

Use 'match' for regex, 'contains' for plain substring.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ESLint couldn't find the plugin "eslint-plugin-import-path".

The plugin is not installed or not listed in the devDependencies.

fix

Run npm install eslint-plugin-import-path --save-dev

Configuration for rule "import-path/forbidden" is invalid: severity should be one of off, warn, error.

The rule severity is set to an invalid value (e.g., 'warning' instead of 'warn').

fix

Use one of: 'off', 'warn', or 'error'.
