# import/no-relative-packages
Use this rule to prevent importing packages through relative paths.
It's useful in Yarn/Lerna workspaces, were it's possible to import a sibling
package using `../package` relative path, while direct `package` is the correct one.
### Examples
Given the following folder structure:
```
my-project
├── packages
│ ├── foo
│ │ ├── index.js
│ │ └── package.json
│ └── bar
│ ├── index.js
│ └── package.json
└── entry.js
```
And the .eslintrc file:
```
{
...
"rules": {
"import/no-relative-packages": "error"
}
}
```
The following patterns are considered problems:
```js
/**
* in my-project/packages/foo.js
*/
import bar from '../bar'; // Import sibling package using relative path
import entry from '../../entry.js'; // Import from parent package using relative path
/**
* in my-project/entry.js
*/
import bar from './packages/bar'; // Import child package using relative path
```
The following patterns are NOT considered problems:
```js
/**
* in my-project/packages/foo.js
*/
import bar from 'bar'; // Import sibling package using package name
/**
* in my-project/entry.js
*/
import bar from 'bar'; // Import sibling package using package name
```
