# import/no-extraneous-dependencies Forbid the import of external modules that are not declared in the `package.json`'s `dependencies`, `devDependencies`, `optionalDependencies`, `peerDependencies`, or `bundledDependencies`. The closest parent `package.json` will be used. If no `package.json` is found, the rule will not lint anything. This behavior can be changed with the rule option `packageDir`. Normally ignores imports of modules marked internal, but this can be changed with the rule option `includeInternal`. Type imports can be verified by specifying `includeTypes`. Modules have to be installed for this rule to work. ## 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`. Type imports are ignored by default. `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 `true`. `bundledDependencies`: If set to `false`, then the rule will show an error when `bundledDependencies` are imported. Defaults to `true`. You can set the options like this: ```js "import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"devDependencies": false, "optionalDependencies": false, "peerDependencies": false}] ``` You can also use an array of globs instead of literal booleans: ```js "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 (i.e. not the imported file/module) matches a single glob in the array, and `false` otherwise. There are 2 boolean options to opt into checking extra imports that are normally ignored: `includeInternal`, which enables the checking of internal modules, and `includeTypes`, which enables checking of type imports in TypeScript. ```js "import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"includeInternal": true, "includeTypes": true}] ``` Also there is one more option called `packageDir`, this option is to specify the path to the folder containing package.json. If provided as a relative path string, will be computed relative to the current working directory at linter execution time. If this is not ideal (does not work with some editor integrations), consider using `__dirname` to provide a path relative to your configuration. ```js "import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"packageDir": './some-dir/'}] // or "import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"packageDir": path.join(__dirname, 'some-dir')}] ``` It may also be an array of multiple paths, to support monorepos or other novel project folder layouts: ```js "import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"packageDir": ['./some-dir/', './root-pkg']}] ``` ## Rule Details Given the following `package.json`: ```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" }, "bundledDependencies": [ "@generated/foo", ] } ``` ## Fail ```js 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'); /* eslint import/no-extraneous-dependencies: ["error", {"bundledDependencies": false}] */ import foo from '"@generated/foo"'; var foo = require('"@generated/foo"'); /* eslint import/no-extraneous-dependencies: ["error", {"includeInternal": true}] */ import foo from './foo'; var foo = require('./foo'); /* eslint import/no-extraneous-dependencies: ["error", {"includeTypes": true}] */ import type { MyType } from 'foo'; ``` ## Pass ```js // 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'; import foo from '"@generated/foo"'; import type { MyType } from 'foo'; /* 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.
