no-extraneous-dependencies.md

Forbid the use of extraneous packages

Forbid the import of external modules that are not declared in the package.json's dependencies, devDependencies, optionalDependencies or peerDependencies. The closest parent package.json will be used. If no package.json is found, the rule will not lint anything. This behaviour can be changed with the rule option packageDir.

Options

This rule supports the following options:

devDependencies: If set to false, then the rule will show an error when devDependencies are imported. Defaults to true.

optionalDependencies: If set to false, then the rule will show an error when optionalDependencies are imported. Defaults to true.

peerDependencies: If set to false, then the rule will show an error when peerDependencies are imported. Defaults to false.

You can set the options like this:

"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"devDependencies": false, "optionalDependencies": false, "peerDependencies": false}]

You can also use an array of globs instead of literal booleans:

"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"devDependencies": ["**/*.test.js", "**/*.spec.js"]}]

When using an array of globs, the setting will be set to true (no errors reported) if the name of the file being linted matches a single glob in the array, and false otherwise.

Also there is one more option called packageDir, this option is to specify the path to the folder containing package.json and is relative to the current working directory.

"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"packageDir": './some-dir/'}]

Rule Details

Given the following package.json:

{
  "name": "my-project",
  "...": "...",
  "dependencies": {
    "builtin-modules": "^1.1.1",
    "lodash.cond": "^4.2.0",
    "lodash.find": "^4.2.0",
    "pkg-up": "^1.0.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "ava": "^0.13.0",
    "eslint": "^2.4.0",
    "eslint-plugin-ava": "^1.3.0",
    "xo": "^0.13.0"
  },
  "optionalDependencies": {
    "lodash.isarray": "^4.0.0"
  },
  "peerDependencies": {
    "react": ">=15.0.0 <16.0.0"
  }
}

Fail

var _ = require('lodash');
import _ from 'lodash';

import react from 'react';

/* eslint import/no-extraneous-dependencies: ["error", {"devDependencies": false}] */
import test from 'ava';
var test = require('ava');

/* eslint import/no-extraneous-dependencies: ["error", {"optionalDependencies": false}] */
import isArray from 'lodash.isarray';
var isArray = require('lodash.isarray');

Pass

// Builtin and internal modules are fine
var path = require('path');
var foo = require('./foo');

import test from 'ava';
import find from 'lodash.find';
import isArray from 'lodash.isarray';

/* eslint import/no-extraneous-dependencies: ["error", {"peerDependencies": true}] */
import react from 'react';

When Not To Use It

If you do not have a package.json file in your project.
