# import/order: Enforce a convention in module import order
Enforce a convention in the order of `require()` / `import` statements.
+(fixable) The `--fix` option on the [command line] automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.
With the [`groups`](#groups-array) option set to `["builtin", "external", "internal", "parent", "sibling", "index", "object", "type"]` the order is as shown in the following example:
```js
// 1. node "builtin" modules
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
// 2. "external" modules
import _ from 'lodash';
import chalk from 'chalk';
// 3. "internal" modules
// (if you have configured your path or webpack to handle your internal paths differently)
import foo from 'src/foo';
// 4. modules from a "parent" directory
import foo from '../foo';
import qux from '../../foo/qux';
// 5. "sibling" modules from the same or a sibling's directory
import bar from './bar';
import baz from './bar/baz';
// 6. "index" of the current directory
import main from './';
// 7. "object"-imports (only available in TypeScript)
import log = console.log;
// 8. "type" imports (only available in Flow and TypeScript)
import type { Foo } from 'foo';
```
Unassigned imports are ignored, as the order they are imported in may be important.
Statements using the ES6 `import` syntax must appear before any `require()` statements.
## Fail
```js
import _ from 'lodash';
import path from 'path'; // `path` import should occur before import of `lodash`
// -----
var _ = require('lodash');
var path = require('path'); // `path` import should occur before import of `lodash`
// -----
var path = require('path');
import foo from './foo'; // `import` statements must be before `require` statement
```
## Pass
```js
import path from 'path';
import _ from 'lodash';
// -----
var path = require('path');
var _ = require('lodash');
// -----
// Allowed as ̀`babel-register` is not assigned.
require('babel-register');
var path = require('path');
// -----
// Allowed as `import` must be before `require`
import foo from './foo';
var path = require('path');
```
## Options
This rule supports the following options:
### `groups: [array]`:
How groups are defined, and the order to respect. `groups` must be an array of `string` or [`string`]. The only allowed `string`s are:
`"builtin"`, `"external"`, `"internal"`, `"unknown"`, `"parent"`, `"sibling"`, `"index"`, `"object"`, `"type"`.
The enforced order is the same as the order of each element in a group. Omitted types are implicitly grouped together as the last element. Example:
```js
[
'builtin', // Built-in types are first
['sibling', 'parent'], // Then sibling and parent types. They can be mingled together
'index', // Then the index file
'object',
// Then the rest: internal and external type
]
```
The default value is `["builtin", "external", "parent", "sibling", "index"]`.
You can set the options like this:
```js
"import/order": ["error", {"groups": ["index", "sibling", "parent", "internal", "external", "builtin", "object", "type"]}]
```
### `pathGroups: [array of objects]`:
To be able to group by paths mostly needed with aliases pathGroups can be defined.
Properties of the objects
| property | required | type | description |
|----------------|:--------:|--------|---------------|
| pattern | x | string | minimatch pattern for the paths to be in this group (will not be used for builtins or externals) |
| patternOptions | | object | options for minimatch, default: { nocomment: true } |
| group | x | string | one of the allowed groups, the pathGroup will be positioned relative to this group |
| position | | string | defines where around the group the pathGroup will be positioned, can be 'after' or 'before', if not provided pathGroup will be positioned like the group |
```json
{
"import/order": ["error", {
"pathGroups": [
{
"pattern": "~/**",
"group": "external"
}
]
}]
}
```
### `pathGroupsExcludedImportTypes: [array]`:
This defines import types that are not handled by configured pathGroups.
This is mostly needed when you want to handle path groups that look like external imports.
Example:
```json
{
"import/order": ["error", {
"pathGroups": [
{
"pattern": "@app/**",
"group": "external",
"position": "after"
}
],
"pathGroupsExcludedImportTypes": ["builtin"]
}]
}
```
You can also use `patterns`(e.g., `react`, `react-router-dom`, etc).
Example:
```json
{
"import/order": [
"error",
{
"pathGroups": [
{
"pattern": "react",
"group": "builtin",
"position": "before"
}
],
"pathGroupsExcludedImportTypes": ["react"]
}
]
}
```
The default value is `["builtin", "external"]`.
### `newlines-between: [ignore|always|always-and-inside-groups|never]`:
Enforces or forbids new lines between import groups:
- If set to `ignore`, no errors related to new lines between import groups will be reported.
- If set to `always`, at least one new line between each group will be enforced, and new lines inside a group will be forbidden. To prevent multiple lines between imports, core `no-multiple-empty-lines` rule can be used.
- If set to `always-and-inside-groups`, it will act like `always` except newlines are allowed inside import groups.
- If set to `never`, no new lines are allowed in the entire import section.
The default value is `"ignore"`.
With the default group setting, the following will be invalid:
```js
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"newlines-between": "always"}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import index from './';
import sibling from './foo';
```
```js
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"newlines-between": "always-and-inside-groups"}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import index from './';
import sibling from './foo';
```
```js
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"newlines-between": "never"}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import index from './';
import sibling from './foo';
```
while those will be valid:
```js
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"newlines-between": "always"}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import index from './';
import sibling from './foo';
```
```js
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"newlines-between": "always-and-inside-groups"}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import index from './';
import sibling from './foo';
```
```js
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"newlines-between": "never"}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import index from './';
import sibling from './foo';
```
### `alphabetize: {order: asc|desc|ignore, caseInsensitive: true|false}`:
Sort the order within each group in alphabetical manner based on **import path**:
- `order`: use `asc` to sort in ascending order, and `desc` to sort in descending order (default: `ignore`).
- `caseInsensitive`: use `true` to ignore case, and `false` to consider case (default: `false`).
Example setting:
```js
alphabetize: {
order: 'asc', /* sort in ascending order. Options: ['ignore', 'asc', 'desc'] */
caseInsensitive: true /* ignore case. Options: [true, false] */
}
```
This will fail the rule check:
```js
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"alphabetize": {"order": "asc", "caseInsensitive": true}}] */
import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import aTypes from 'prop-types';
import { compose, apply } from 'xcompose';
import * as classnames from 'classnames';
import blist from 'BList';
```
While this will pass:
```js
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"alphabetize": {"order": "asc", "caseInsensitive": true}}] */
import blist from 'BList';
import * as classnames from 'classnames';
import aTypes from 'prop-types';
import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import { compose, apply } from 'xcompose';
```
### `warnOnUnassignedImports: true|false`:
* default: `false`
Warns when unassigned imports are out of order. These warning will not be fixed
with `--fix` because unassigned imports are used for side-effects and changing the
import of order of modules with side effects can not be done automatically in a
way that is safe.
This will fail the rule check:
```js
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"warnOnUnassignedImports": true}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import './styles.css';
import path from 'path';
```
While this will pass:
```js
/* eslint import/order: ["error", {"warnOnUnassignedImports": true}] */
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import './styles.css';
```
