Name already in use

A tag already exists with the provided branch name. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. Are you sure you want to create this branch?

import/no-absolute-path

🔧 This rule is automatically fixable by the --fix CLI option.

Node.js allows the import of modules using an absolute path such as /home/xyz/file.js. That is a bad practice as it ties the code using it to your computer, and therefore makes it unusable in packages distributed on npm for instance.

This rule forbids the import of modules using absolute paths.

Rule Details

Fail

import f from '/foo';
import f from '/some/path';

var f = require('/foo');
var f = require('/some/path');

Pass

import _ from 'lodash';
import foo from 'foo';
import foo from './foo';

var _ = require('lodash');
var foo = require('foo');
var foo = require('./foo');

Options

By default, only ES6 imports and CommonJS require calls will have this rule enforced.

You may provide an options object providing true/false for any of

  • esmodule: defaults to true
  • commonjs: defaults to true
  • amd: defaults to false

If { amd: true } is provided, dependency paths for AMD-style define and require calls will be resolved:

/*eslint import/no-absolute-path: [2, { commonjs: false, amd: true }]*/
define(['/foo'], function (foo) { /*...*/ }) // reported
require(['/foo'], function (foo) { /*...*/ }) // reported

const foo = require('/foo') // ignored because of explicit `commonjs: false`
