Control your imports through TSLint

You want full control of your imports? Not each file is allowed to import another file from a different folder? Especially if you are following "The Clean Architecture" it is important to have these rule somehow configured.

This TSLint rule will help you with that!

Usage

Install from NPM to your Dev Dependencies

npm install --save-dev tslint-import-control-rule

Prerequisite

To make the rule works as intended you need to configure an alias in your package.json, e.g.:

{
    "alias": {
        "src": "./src"
    }
}

Configure TSLint to use tslint-import-control-rule:

In your tslint.json file, source the rule from this package, e.g.:

{
    "rules": {
        "import-control": [
            true,
            {
                "rootDir": "string",
                "whitelist": [
                    "string"
                ],
                "overrides": [
                    {
                        "rootDir": "string",
                        "whitelist": [
                            "string"
                        ]
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
    "rulesDirectory": [
        "node_modules/tslint-import-control-rule/src"
    ]
}

Example configuration for a clean architecture

{
    "rules": {
        "import-control": [
            true,
            {
                "rootDir": "src",
                "whitelist": [
                    "src/shared"
                ],
                "overrides": [
                    {
                        "rootDir": "src/infrastructure",
                        "whitelist": [
                            "src/application",
                            "src/domain"
                        ]
                    },
                    {
                        "rootDir": "src/application",
                        "whitelist": [
                            "src/domain"
                        ]
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
    "rulesDirectory": [
        "node_modules/tslint-import-control-rule/src"
    ]
}

With this rule we can achieve the following:

• Domain has only access to src/shared
• Application has access to src/shared and src/domain
• Infrastructure has access to src/shared, src/domain and src/application
