eslint-import-resolver-typescript

This plugin adds TypeScript support to eslint-plugin-import (Or maybe you want to try eslint-plugin-i for faster speed)

This means you can:

• import/require files with extension .cts/.mts/.ts/.tsx/.d.cts/.d.mts/.d.ts
• Use paths defined in tsconfig.json
• Prefer resolving @types/* definitions over plain .js/.jsx
• Multiple tsconfigs support just like normal
• imports/exports fields support in package.json

Notice

After version 2.0.0, .d.ts will take higher priority then normal .js/.jsx files on resolving node_modules packages in favor of @types/* definitions or its own definition.

If you're facing some problems on rules import/default or import/named from eslint-plugin-import, do not post any issue here, because they are just working exactly as expected on our sides, take import-js/eslint-plugin-import#1525 as reference or post a new issue to eslint-plugin-import instead.

Installation

# npm
npm i -D eslint-plugin-import eslint-import-resolver-typescript

# pnpm
pnpm i -D eslint-plugin-import eslint-import-resolver-typescript

# yarn
yarn add -D eslint-plugin-import eslint-import-resolver-typescript

Important when using eslint-plugin-i and npm: Use npm i -D eslint-plugin-import@eslint-plugin-i@latest eslint-import-resolver-typescript, or you will end up with both eslint-plugin-import and eslint-plugin-i in your node_modules.

Configuration

eslint.config.js

If you are using eslint-plugin-import-x@>=4.5.0, you can use import/require to reference eslint-import-resolver-typescript directly in your ESLint flat config:

// eslint.config.js
const {
  createTypeScriptImportResolver,
} = require('eslint-import-resolver-typescript')

module.exports = [{
  settings: {
    "import/resolver-next": [
      createTypeScriptImportResolver({
        alwaysTryTypes: true, // always try to resolve types under `<root>@types` directory even it doesn't contain any source code, like `@types/unist`

        // Choose from one of the "project" configs below or omit to use <root>/tsconfig.json by default

        // use <root>/path/to/folder/tsconfig.json
        project: "path/to/folder",

        // Multiple tsconfigs (Useful for monorepos)

        // use a glob pattern
        project: "packages/*/tsconfig.json",

        // use an array
        project: [
          "packages/module-a/tsconfig.json",
          "packages/module-b/tsconfig.json"
        ],

        // use an array of glob patterns
        project: [
          "packages/*/tsconfig.json",
          "other-packages/*/tsconfig.json"
        ]
      }),
    ];
  }
}]

But if you are using eslint-plugin-import or the older version of eslint-plugin-import-x, you can't use require/import:

// eslint.config.js
module.exports = [
  {
    settings: {
      'import/resolver': {
        typescript: {
          alwaysTryTypes: true, // always try to resolve types under `<root>@types` directory even it doesn't contain any source code, like `@types/unist`

          // Choose from one of the "project" configs below or omit to use <root>/tsconfig.json by default

          // use <root>/path/to/folder/tsconfig.json
          project: 'path/to/folder',

          // Multiple tsconfigs (Useful for monorepos)

          // use a glob pattern
          project: 'packages/*/tsconfig.json',

          // use an array
          project: [
            'packages/module-a/tsconfig.json',
            'packages/module-b/tsconfig.json',
          ],

          // use an array of glob patterns
          project: [
            'packages/*/tsconfig.json',
            'other-packages/*/tsconfig.json',
          ],
        },
      },
    },
  },
]

.eslintrc

Add the following to your .eslintrc config:

{
  "plugins": ["import"],
  "rules": {
    // turn on errors for missing imports
    "import/no-unresolved": "error"
  },
  "settings": {
    "import/parsers": {
      "@typescript-eslint/parser": [".ts", ".tsx"]
    },
    "import/resolver": {
      "typescript": {
        "alwaysTryTypes": true, // always try to resolve types under `<root>@types` directory even it doesn't contain any source code, like `@types/unist`

        // Choose from one of the "project" configs below or omit to use <root>/tsconfig.json by default

        // use <root>/path/to/folder/tsconfig.json
        "project": "path/to/folder",

        // Multiple tsconfigs (Useful for monorepos)

        // use a glob pattern
        "project": "packages/*/tsconfig.json",

        // use an array
        "project": [
          "packages/module-a/tsconfig.json",
          "packages/module-b/tsconfig.json"
        ],

        // use an array of glob patterns
        "project": [
          "packages/*/tsconfig.json",
          "other-packages/*/tsconfig.json"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Contributing

• Make sure your change is covered by a test import.
• Make sure that yarn test passes without a failure.
• Make sure that yarn lint passes without conflicts.
• Make sure your code changes match our type-coverage settings: yarn type-coverage.
