import-x/no-namespace

🔧 This rule is automatically fixable by the --fix CLI option.

Enforce a convention of not using namespace (a.k.a. "wildcard" *) imports.

The rule is auto-fixable when the namespace object is only used for direct member access, e.g. namespace.a.

Options

This rule supports the following options:

• ignore: array of glob strings for modules that should be ignored by the rule.

Rule Details

Valid:

import defaultExport from './foo'
import { a, b } from './bar'
import defaultExport, { a, b } from './foobar'

/* eslint import-x/no-namespace: ["error", {ignore: ['*.ext']}] */
import * as bar from './ignored-module.ext'

Invalid:

import * as foo from 'foo'

import defaultExport, * as foo from 'foo'
