import/no-namespace

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

+(fixable) The --fix option on the [command line] automatically fixes problems reported by this rule, provided that the namespace object is only used for direct member access, e.g. namespace.a. The --fix functionality for this rule requires ESLint 5 or newer.

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

Invalid:

import * as foo from 'foo';

import defaultExport, * as foo from 'foo';
