# no-new-require

[Added in v0.9.3](https://github.com/web-infra-dev/rslint/releases/tag/v0.9.3)
## Configuration


```ts title=rslint.config.ts
import { defineConfig, nodePlugin } from '@rslint/core';

export default defineConfig([
  nodePlugin.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      'node/no-new-require': 'error',
    },
  },
]);
```

Disallow using `require` as a constructor.

## Rule Details

`new require('app-header')` constructs `require` itself. To construct the value
exported by a module, call `require` first and then use `new` on its result.

Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:

```javascript
var appHeader = new require('app-header');
```

Examples of **correct** code for this rule:

```javascript
var AppHeader = require('app-header');
var appHeader = new AppHeader();

var anotherHeader = new (require('app-header'))();
```

This rule checks the identifier's name, including locally declared variables
named `require`. Member access such as `new loader.require()` is allowed.

## Options

This rule has no options and does not provide automatic fixes or suggestions.
