@adonisjs/eslint-plugin

Compatible with ESLint>=9.0 and TypeScript >=5.4

---

ESLint plugin for AdonisJS applications

The plugin forces your application to use lazy imports for controllers and event listeners. Lazy imports are a must when you are using HMR mode in AdonisJS.

Installation

The package comes pre-configured with the @adonisjs/eslint-config preset and hence manual installation is not required.

However, you can install and configure it as follows.

npm i -D @adonisjs/eslint-plugin@beta

# Install peer dependencies
npm i -D eslint@9 typescript typescript-eslint

Usage

After installation, you can register the following as follows. Make sure to also setup the typescript-eslint parser in order for the rules to work.

// eslint.config.js
import adonisJSPlugin from '@adonisjs/eslint-plugin'

export default [
  {
    plugins: {
      '@adonisjs': adonisJSPlugin,
    },
    rules: {
      '@adonisjs/prefer-lazy-controller-import': 'error',
      '@adonisjs/prefer-lazy-listener-import': 'error',
    },
  },
]

prefer-lazy-controller-import

Important

The HMR mode of AdonisJS only works with Lazy loaded controllers

The @adonisjs/prefer-lazy-controller-import rule complains when you import a controller using the import expression and assign it to a route. For example:

import router from '@adonisjs/core/services/router'
// ❌ Error: Replace standard import with lazy controller import
import UsersController from '#controllers/user_controller'

router.get('users', [UsersController, 'index'])

The rule is auto fixable, therefore you can apply the fix depending upon the shortcuts provided by your code editor.

import router from '@adonisjs/core/services/router'
// ✅ Fixed
const UsersController = () => import('#controllers/user_controller')

router.get('users', [UsersController, 'index'])

prefer-lazy-listener-import

Important

The HMR mode of AdonisJS only works with Lazy loaded event listeners

The @adonisjs/prefer-lazy-listener-import rule complains when you import an event listener using the import expression and assign it to an event. For example:

import emitter from '@adonisjs/core/services/emitter'
// ❌ Error: Replace standard import with lazy controller import
import SendVerificationEmail from '#listeners/send_verification_email'

emitter.on('user:created', [SendVerificationEmail, 'handle'])

The rule is auto fixable, therefore you can apply the fix depending upon the shortcuts provided by your code editor.

import emitter from '@adonisjs/core/services/emitter'
// ✅ Fixed
const SendVerificationEmail = () => import('#listeners/send_verification_email')

emitter.on('user:created', [SendVerificationEmail, 'handle'])
