import-sort-style-wes

Wes' personal style for import-sort.

Sorting Example

// Modules without members
import '@scoped/module';
import 'first-module';
import 'second-module';
import '~/local-module';

// Installed and scoped modules
import scoped from '@scoped/thing';
import whatever from 'module-a';
import anything from 'module-b';

// Local resolved modules
import exported from '~/project-root-file';

// Siblings and parents
import things from '../grand-parent';
import name from '../parent';
import sibling from './sibling';

Why ~?

Not all characters can be used at a module path, because of npm registry rules, and file system constraints. npm already uses the @ prefix to scope organizations and teams.

Inspired by Parcel, which resolves ~ to the project source directory by default, I decided to define ~ as the de facto reference for all of my packages root source directories.

Some projects prefer to have every folder on the project source as its own resolve alias. I find this bad especially for use cases like this, where one would need to read the file system to determine if an import is within node_modules or the project's source folder. Given that these can be configured in a multitude of ways, I decided to not support that at all.

Usage

These instrutions use prettier, which is my preferred method of enforcing import sort order.

# Install prettier-plugin-import-sort
yarn add -D prettier-plugin-import-sort

# Install import-sort-style-wes
yarn add -D import-sort-style-wes

Then add on your root package.json:

{
  "importSort": {
    ".js, .jsx": {
      "parser": "babylon",
      "style": "wes"
    },
    ".ts, .tsx": {
      "parser": "typescript",
      "style": "wes"
    }
  }
}

Development

I've used yarn, and tsdx, which provides scaffolding for TypeScript libraries.
