eslint-plugin-node

What is eslint-plugin-node?

The eslint-plugin-node package is an ESLint plugin that contains rules that are specific to Node.js development. It helps in identifying issues related to syntax and patterns that are not optimal or could lead to errors in a Node.js context.

What are eslint-plugin-node's main functionalities?

Process Exit As Throw

This rule treats calls to process.exit() as throw statements, which can be useful for highlighting an unexpected termination of the Node.js process.

/* eslint node/no-process-exit: 'error' */
process.exit(1);

No Deprecated API

This rule prevents the use of deprecated Node.js APIs to encourage best practices and avoid potential future issues with deprecated methods.

/* eslint node/no-deprecated-api: 'error' */
const domain = require('domain');

No Missing Imports

This rule ensures that all modules that are imported into a file are actually resolvable, helping to catch typos and incorrect module names.

/* eslint node/no-missing-import: 'error' */
import someModule from 'nonexistent-module';

No Unpublished Bin

This rule checks that all files referenced in the 'bin' field of package.json are actually published, preventing issues with npm packages.

/* eslint node/no-unpublished-bin: 'error' */
{
  "bin": "bin/nonexistent.js"
}
