eslint-plugin-import-lite

Feature

• Zero dependencies.
• Port some useful rules that don't require a resolver from eslint-plugin-import-x.
• No need for a resolver and settings like those in eslint-plugin-import-x.
• Drop babel and flow support.

[!NOTE]

This plugin intentionally does NOT include binary resolvers — but contributions are welcome if you'd like to implement resolver support!

See all rules in src/rules

Available Rules

• consistent-type-specifier-style
• exports-last
• first
• newline-after-import
• no-default-export
• no-duplicates
• no-mutable-exports
• no-named-default
• prefer-default-export

Motivation

I extend my own ESLint config from @antfu/eslint-config.

Recently this config dropped eslint-plugin-import-x because it introduces built-in binary resolvers and makes it heavy.

In a discussion about the built-in resolver, the maintainer plans to keep it as a dependency, which makes it impossible to keep the package lightweight.

But there are some useful rules and some people (including me) want to bring the plugin back.
