eslint-plugin-filenames-suffix

Adds eslint rules to ensure consistent filenames for your javascript files.

Please note: This plugin will only lint the filenames of the .js, .jsx files you are linting with eslint. It will ignore other files that are not linted with eslint.

Enabling the plugin

This plugin requires a version of eslint>=1.0.0 to be installed as a peer dependency.

Modify your .eslintrc file to load the plugin and enable the rules you want to use.

{
  "plugins": [
    "filenames-suffix"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "filenames-suffix/match-regex": 2,
    "filenames-suffix/match-exported": 2,
    "filenames-suffix/no-index": 2
  }
}

Rules

Consistent Filenames via regex (match-regex)

A rule to enforce a certain file naming convention using a regular expression.

The convention can be configured using a regular expression (the default is camelCase.js). Additionally exporting files can be ignored with a second configuration parameter.

"filenames-suffix/match-regex": [2, "^[a-z_]+$", true]

With these configuration options, camelCase.js will be reported as an error while snake_case.js will pass. Additionally the files that have a named default export (according to the logic in the match-exported rule) will be ignored. They could be linted with the match-exported rule.

Matching Exported Values (match-exported)

Match the file name against the default exported value in the module. Files that dont have a default export will be ignored. The exports of index.js are matched against their parent directory.

// Considered problem only if the file isn't named foo.js or foo/index.js
export default function foo() {}
 
// Considered problem only if the file isn't named Foo.js or Foo/index.js
module.exports = class Foo() {}
 
// Considered problem only if the file isn't named someVariable.js or someVariable/index.js
module.exports = someVariable;
 
// Never considered a problem
export default { foo: "bar" };

If your filename policy doesn't quite match with your variable naming policy, you can add a tansform:

"filenames-suffix/match-exported": [2, "kebab"]

Now, in your code:

// Considered problem only if file isn't named variable-name.js or variable-name/index.js
export default function variableName;

Available transforms: 'snake', 'kebab', and 'camel'

In addition to applying a transform, you can also allow files to have suffixes. A suffix describes the type of module the file exports. A suffix is a singular word that is separated from the filename by a . and precedes the file extension, e.g. filename.suffix.ext. A file with a suffix must reside in a directory whose name is the plural version of the suffix, or a subdirectory therein. So for example, if suffixes are enabled and a file is named example.component.jsx, it must live in a directory named components or a subdirectory of it.

"filenames-suffix/match-exported": [2, "kebab", "check-suffix"]

index files do not require a suffix.

Don't allow index.js files (no-index)

Having a bunch of index.js files can have negative influence on developer experience, e.g. when opening files by name. When enabling this rule. index.js files will always be considered a problem.
