🔌 eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte

⚡ Supercharge your Svelte development with blazing-fast auto-completion!

ESLint plugin that optimizes imports for phosphor-svelte to dramatically improve IDE performance.

The Problem: Importing from phosphor-svelte shows 8,000+ icon suggestions, making your IDE slow and sluggish.

The Solution: This plugin automatically transforms bulk imports into individual file imports, giving you instant auto-completion and a responsive editor.

✨ Example Transformation

Before:

import { CubeIcon, HeartIcon, HorseIcon } from "phosphor-svelte";

When you type import {, your IDE shows 8,000+ icon suggestions, making it slow and difficult to find what you need.

After:

import CubeIcon from "phosphor-svelte/lib/CubeIcon";
import HeartIcon from "phosphor-svelte/lib/HeartIcon";
import HorseIcon from "phosphor-svelte/lib/HorseIcon";

Auto-completion is now instant and only shows relevant completions. Your IDE stays responsive even in large projects!

✨ Features

• ⚡ Lightning-fast auto-completion - No more waiting for 8,000+ icon suggestions
• 🔧 Auto-fix support - Fix all imports with one command: eslint --fix
• 🎯 100% test coverage - Reliable and thoroughly tested
• 📘 Full TypeScript support - Complete type safety
• 🔌 ESLint 9+ flat config - Modern configuration style
• 🎨 Svelte-ready - Works seamlessly with .svelte files
• 🔒 npm Trusted Publisher - Enhanced supply chain security

📦 Installation

You'll first need to install ESLint:

npm install eslint --save-dev
# or
pnpm add -D eslint
# or
yarn add eslint --dev

Next, install eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte:

npm install eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte --save-dev
# or
pnpm add -D eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte
# or
yarn add eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte --dev

🚀 Usage

Flat Config (ESLint 9+)

Add eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte to your eslint.config.js:

import phosphorSvelte from "eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte";

export default [
    phosphorSvelte.configs.recommended,
    // other configs...
];

Or configure it manually:

import phosphorSvelte from "eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte";

export default [
    {
        plugins: {
            "phosphor-svelte": phosphorSvelte,
        },
        rules: {
            "phosphor-svelte/optimize-imports": "warn",
        },
    },
];

🎨 Usage with Svelte Projects

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the necessary ESLint plugins for Svelte:

pnpm add -D eslint eslint-plugin-svelte typescript-eslint

Complete Svelte ESLint Configuration

Here's a recommended configuration for a Svelte project with TypeScript:

// eslint.config.js
import js from "@eslint/js";
import phosphorSvelte from "eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte";
import svelte from "eslint-plugin-svelte";
import ts from "typescript-eslint";

/** @type {import('eslint').Linter.Config[]} */
export default [
    js.configs.recommended,
    ...ts.configs.recommended,
    ...svelte.configs["flat/recommended"],
    ...svelte.configs["flat/prettier"],
    {
        plugins: {
            "phosphor-svelte": phosphorSvelte,
        },
        rules: {
            "phosphor-svelte/optimize-imports": "warn",
        },
    },
    {
        ignores: ["build/", ".svelte-kit/", "dist/"],
    },
];

⚠️ Important: Use the recommended config

It's recommended to use the plugin's recommended config instead of manually configuring rules:

// ✅ Using recommended config (simpler and less error-prone)
import phosphorSvelte from 'eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte';

export default [
  // ... other configs
  phosphorSvelte.configs.recommended,  // Use this!
  // ...
];

// ❌ Avoid this (can cause import issues)
import { phosphorSvelteConfig } from 'eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte';
export default [
  phosphorSvelteConfig,  // This might not work properly
];

Svelte Component Example

Before:

<script>
  import { HeartIcon, StarIcon } from "phosphor-svelte";
</script>

<HeartIcon />
<StarIcon />

After (autofixed):

<script>
  import HeartIcon from "phosphor-svelte/lib/HeartIcon";
  import StarIcon from "phosphor-svelte/lib/StarIcon";
</script>

<HeartIcon />
<StarIcon />

Troubleshooting

ESLint doesn't recognize imports in Svelte files

If ESLint is not detecting imports in your .svelte files, check the following:

1. Ensure TypeScript parser is configured for Svelte files:

// eslint.config.js
import js from "@eslint/js";
import phosphorSvelte from "eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte";
import svelte from "eslint-plugin-svelte";
import ts from "typescript-eslint";

export default [
    js.configs.recommended,
    ...ts.configs.recommended,
    ...svelte.configs["flat/recommended"],
    {
        plugins: {
            "phosphor-svelte": phosphorSvelte,
        },
        rules: {
            "phosphor-svelte/optimize-imports": "warn",
        },
    },
    // ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Configure Svelte files with TypeScript parser
    {
        files: ["**/*.svelte"],
        languageOptions: {
            parserOptions: {
                parser: ts.parser,
            },
        },
    },
    {
        ignores: ["build/", ".svelte-kit/", "dist/"],
    },
];

⚠️ Common mistake: Don't split languageOptions across multiple configs!

// ❌ WRONG - This won't work!
[
    phosphorSvelteConfig, // Has languageOptions
    {
        languageOptions: {
            globals: { ...globals.browser },
        },
    },
    {
        files: ["**/*.svelte"],
        languageOptions: {
            parserOptions: {
                parser: ts.parser, // This won't be merged properly!
            },
        },
    },
];

// ✅ CORRECT - Combine all languageOptions in one place
[
    {
        ...phosphorSvelteConfig,
        languageOptions: {
            ...phosphorSvelteConfig.languageOptions,
            globals: {
                ...globals.browser,
            },
            parserOptions: {
                ...phosphorSvelteConfig.languageOptions?.parserOptions,
                projectService: true,
                tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
                extraFileExtensions: [".svelte"],
            },
        },
    },
    {
        files: ["**/*.svelte", "**/*.svelte.ts"],
        languageOptions: {
            parserOptions: {
                // Svelte files need TypeScript parser for imports to be detected
                parser: ts.parser,
            },
        },
    },
];

2. Check your package.json dependencies:

{
    "devDependencies": {
        "@eslint/js": "^9.x.x",
        "eslint": "^9.x.x",
        "eslint-plugin-svelte": "^2.x.x",
        "eslint-plugin-phosphor-svelte": "^0.0.2",
        "typescript-eslint": "^8.x.x",
        "typescript": "^5.x.x"
    }
}

3. Verify Svelte parser is installed:

pnpm list eslint-plugin-svelte
# or
npm list eslint-plugin-svelte

If not installed:

pnpm add -D eslint-plugin-svelte

4. Common issues and solutions:

| Issue | Solution | | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | ESLint doesn't scan .svelte files | Add files: ['**/*.svelte'] to config | | Imports in <script> tags not detected | Add languageOptions.parserOptions.parser: ts.parser | | VSCode ESLint extension not working | Reload VSCode window (Ctrl+Shift+P → "Reload Window") | | Type errors in Svelte files | Ensure svelte-check is installed and configured |

5. Test your configuration:

Create a test file test.svelte:

<script>
  import { HeartIcon } from "phosphor-svelte";
</script>

Then run:

npx eslint test.svelte

You should see:

test.svelte
  2:3  warning  Use default imports from specific icon paths  phosphor-svelte/optimize-imports

📋 Rules

phosphor-svelte/optimize-imports

Enforces the use of default imports from specific file paths for phosphor-svelte icons to enable tree-shaking.

Invalid:

import { HorseIcon } from "phosphor-svelte";
import { CubeIcon, HeartIcon } from "phosphor-svelte";

Valid (Autofixed):

import CubeIcon from "phosphor-svelte/lib/CubeIcon";
import HeartIcon from "phosphor-svelte/lib/HeartIcon";
import HorseIcon from "phosphor-svelte/lib/HorseIcon";

Dynamic Imports:

Dynamic imports are also flagged but not autofixed, as they prevent static analysis for tree-shaking.

// Warning: Dynamic import of 'phosphor-svelte' is detected.
const module = await import("phosphor-svelte");

Rule Options

This rule has no options.

💡 Why Use This Plugin?

When you import from phosphor-svelte using named imports like import { Icon } from "phosphor-svelte", your IDE's auto-completion shows all available icons (thousands of them). This can make your editor sluggish, especially when:

• ⌨️ Typing import statements
• 🖱️ Hovering over code
• 💡 Using IntelliSense features
• 📂 Working in large projects

This plugin transforms those imports into individual file imports, reducing the auto-completion scope and significantly improving your IDE's performance. While bundlers like Vite and webpack handle tree-shaking automatically, this plugin solves the developer experience problem by making your editor faster and more responsive.

Performance Impact

Without this plugin, typing import { from phosphor-svelte may show 8,000+ suggestions in your auto-completion dropdown. With this plugin, the import is transformed to a specific file path, eliminating the performance bottleneck entirely.

⚙️ How It Works

1. 🔍 Detects named imports from phosphor-svelte
2. 🔄 Transforms them into default imports from individual icon files
3. ⚠️ Reports dynamic imports (manual fix required)
4. ✅ Autofixes static imports automatically
5. ⚡ Result: Your IDE shows only relevant imports, and auto-completion becomes lightning fast

The plugin uses ESLint's fixer API to apply transformations automatically when you run eslint --fix.
