Description

This plugin provides Modularity rules — module boundaries, circular dependency detection, and layered architecture.

Philosophy

Interlace fosters strength through integration. Instead of stacking isolated rules, we interlace security directly into your workflow to create a resilient fabric of code. We believe tools should guide rather than gatekeep, providing educational feedback that strengthens the developer with every interaction.

Getting Started

npm install eslint-plugin-modularity --save-dev

⚙️ Configuration Presets

PresetDescription
recommendedBalanced DDD and architecture enforcement
strictAll rules as errors for strict enforcement

🏢 Usage Example

// eslint.config.js
import modularity from 'eslint-plugin-modularity';

export default [
  modularity.configs.recommended,

  // Apply strict DDD enforcement to domain layer
  {
    files: ['src/domain/**/*.ts'],
    ...modularity.configs.strict,
  },
];

Why These Rules?

ddd-anemic-domain-model

Detects domain entities that are just data containers without behavior — a common anti-pattern.

// ❌ Bad: Anemic model, no behavior
class Order {
  id: string;
  items: OrderItem[];
  status: OrderStatus;
}

// ✅ Good: Rich domain model with behavior
class Order {
  id: string;
  private items: OrderItem[];
  private status: OrderStatus;

  addItem(item: OrderItem): void {
    /* ... */
  }
  submit(): void {
    /* ... */
  }
  cancel(reason: string): void {
    /* ... */
  }
}

ddd-value-object-immutability

Value objects should be immutable. This rule catches mutable value objects.

// ❌ Bad: Mutable value object
class Money {
  amount: number; // Can be mutated!
}

// ✅ Good: Immutable value object
class Money {
  readonly amount: number;
  readonly currency: string;

  add(other: Money): Money {
    return new Money(this.amount + other.amount, this.currency);
  }
}

no-external-api-calls-in-utils

Utility modules should be pure functions without side effects like API calls.

// ❌ Bad: Utils with external dependencies
// src/utils/formatters.ts
import axios from 'axios';

export async function fetchAndFormat(id: string) {
  const data = await axios.get(`/api/${id}`); // External API call!
  return format(data);
}

// ✅ Good: Pure utility function
export function format(data: Data): FormattedData {
  return {
    /* pure transformation */
  };
}
