Prevents ../ imports
Rule Details
A module may only depend on files at or below its own directory. A relative specifier that, once normalised, climbs out of the importing file's directory is reported: .., ../x, ./../x, ./a/../../x. Every way a module is loaded or re-exported is checked: import, side-effect import, export … from, export * from, require(), import() and TypeScript's import x = require().
Options: commonjs (default true) checks require(); amd (default false) checks the dependency arrays of define([...]) and require([...]). import x = require() is TypeScript's ES-import form and is always checked.
Not reported: a path that stays inside (./x, ./a/../b), and packages.
❌ Incorrect
import config from '../config';
export * from '..';
const util = require('./a/../../util');✅ Correct
import helper from './helper';
import nested from './a/../b';
import lodash from 'lodash';Options
