eslint-plugin-filenames

Adds eslint rules to ensure consistent filenames for your javascript files.

Please note: This plugin will only lint the filenames of the .js-files you are linting with eslint. It will ignore all other files (e.g. non-js files, files not linted with eslint).

Enabling the plugin

This plugin requires a version of eslint>=1.0.0 to be installed as a peer dependency.

Modify your .eslintrc file to load the plugin and enable the rules you want to use.

{
  "plugins": [
    "filenames"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "filenames/match-regex": 2,
    "filenames/match-exported": 2,
    "filenames/no-index": 2
  }
}

Rules

Consistent Filenames via regex (match-regex)

A rule to enforce a certain file naming convention using a regular expression.

The convention can be configured using a regular expression (the default is camelCase.js). Additionally exporting files can be ignored with a second configuration parameter.

"filenames/match-regex": [2, "^[a-z_]+$", true]

With these configuration options, camelCase.js will be reported as an error while snake_case.js will pass. Additionally the files that have a named default export (according to the logic in the match-exported rule) will be ignored. They could be linted with the match-exported rule.

Matching Exported Values (match-exported)

Match the file name against the default exported value in the module. Files that dont have a default export will be ignored. The exports of index.js are matched against their parent directory.

// Considered problem only if the file isn't named foo.js or foo/index.js
export default function foo() {}

// Considered problem only if the file isn't named Foo.js or Foo/index.js
module.exports = class Foo() {}

// Considered problem only if the file isn't named someVariable.js or someVariable/index.js
module.exports = someVariable;

// Never considered a problem
export default { foo: "bar" };

Don't allow index.js files (no-index)

Having a bunch of index.js files can have negative influence on developer experience, e.g. when opening files by name. When enabling this rule. index.js files will always be considered a problem.
