A plugin for ESLint, to force use paths aliases according to paths option config in tsconfig.json or jsconfig.json, instead of relative imports.

Zero config, plug and play design.

About

Current rule supports auto fix with eslint --fix, so you may automate paths correction.

Unlike other plugins like eslint-plugin-import-alias and eslint-plugin-import-alias whose introduce their own aliases, current plugin is just use aliases config from tsconfig/jsconfig.

With eslint-plugin-paths you have one source of truth - your tsconfig.json file (or jsconfig.json in case you use vanilla javascript).

TODO: We have a ticket, to implement an option to deprecate specific paths for case you want to convert aliases back to relative paths. So you will just add alias to deprecation list, then run eslint --fix and unnecessary aliases will be inverted back to paths. Simple and powerful for aliases management.

Setup

Install package with npm install -D eslint-plugin-paths, then update eslint config

{
	"plugins": [
		"eslint-plugin-paths",
	],
	"rules": {
		"paths/alias": "error"
	}
}

Examples

If you have tsconfig.json with config below

{
	"compilerOptions": {
		"baseUrl": ".",
		"paths": {
			"@foo/*": ["src/foo/*"],
			"@bar/*": ["src/bar/*"]
		}
	}
}

then code below will be valid

// src/index.ts

import foo from '@foo';
import barZ from '@bar/x/y/z';
import bazZ from './baz/x/y/z';

and this code will be invalid

// src/index.ts

import foo from './foo';
import barZ from './bar/x/y/z';

Options

configFilePath

Provide path to json file with a compiler config.

When not set, used tsconfig.json from root directory if exists or jsconfig.json if not.
