#Rule Details

Disallows a module from importing itself. A module that imports itself creates a circular dependency on itself, which is always a mistake and can cause confusing runtime behavior or errors. This applies to both ES module import statements and CommonJS require() calls.

Loading the current file through a known text or JSON attribute view is not a self module import because that request does not execute the file as JavaScript.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

// in file "foo.js"
import foo from './foo';

// in file "index.js"
const index = require('./index');

Examples of correct code for this rule:

// in file "foo.js"
import bar from './bar';

// in file "index.js"
const utils = require('./utils');
