n/no-extraneous-require

disallow require() expressions which import extraneous modules

⭐️ This rule is included in plugin:n/recommended preset.

If a require()'s target is extraneous (it's not written in package.json), the program works in local, but will not work after dependencies are re-installed. It will cause troubles to your team/contributors. This rule disallows require() of extraneous modules.

📖 Rule Details

This rule warns require() of extraneous modules.

Options

{
    "rules": {
        "n/no-extraneous-require": ["error", {
            "allowModules": [],
            "resolvePaths": [],
            "tryExtensions": []
        }]
    }
}

allowModules

Some platforms have additional embedded modules. For example, Electron has electron module.

We can specify additional embedded modules with this option. This option is an array of strings as module names.

{
    "rules": {
        "n/no-extraneous-require": ["error", {
            "allowModules": ["electron"]
        }]
    }
}

resolvePaths

Adds additional paths to try for when resolving imports. If a path is relative, it will be resolved from CWD.

Default is []

tryExtensions

When an import path does not exist, this rule checks whether or not any of path.js, path.json, and path.node exists. tryExtensions option is the extension list this rule uses at the time.

Default is [".js", ".json", ".node"].

Shared Settings

The following options can be set by shared settings. Several rules have the same option, but we can set this option at once.

allowModules
resolvePaths
tryExtensions

// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
    "settings": {
        "node": {
            "allowModules": ["electron"],
            "resolvePaths": [__dirname],
            "tryExtensions": [".js", ".json", ".node"]
        }
    },
    "rules": {
        "n/no-extraneous-require": "error"
    }
}
