Completely ignore files

[chertik77]

How to completely ignore some file? I've set file to unknown section in independent modules but on every import it gives an error.

I've already tried to set something like this:

 {
    ignores: ['**/some-file.ts'],
    plugins: { 'project-structure': projectStructurePlugin },
    rules: {
      'project-structure/independent-modules': [
        'error',
        independentModulesConfig
      ]
    }
  }

but it doesn't work, do you have some work around? So the plugin will completely close eyes on the specific file

{
    ignores: ['src/example/**', "someFileInProjectRoot.ts", "src/hello.ts", "src/example/**/someFile.ts" ],
    plugins: { 'project-structure': projectStructurePlugin },
    rules: {
      'project-structure/independent-modules': [
        'error',
        independentModulesConfig
      ]
    }
  }

Or like this

   {
      name: "Unknown files",
      // The nested array is intentional.
      // The outer array checks if any pattern meets the requirements. The inner array checks if all patterns meet the requirements.
      pattern: [["**", "!src/**/someFileToIgnore.ts","!src/someFolderToIgnore/**"]], 
      allowImportsFrom: [],
      allowExternalImports: false,
      errorMessage:
        "🔥 This file is not specified as an independent module in `independentModules.mjs`. 🔥",
    },

Sometimes, the IDE caches old errors from before the configuration change. To ensure you're looking at the current config, it's best to run the linter command in the console or clear the cache/reset the IDE.

{
    ignores: ['src/example/**', "someFileInProjectRoot.ts", "src/hello.ts", "src/example/**/someFile.ts" ],
    plugins: { 'project-structure': projectStructurePlugin },
    rules: {
      'project-structure/independent-modules': [
        'error',
        independentModulesConfig
      ]
    }
  }

Sorry, I misunderstood my own issue, I want to ignore imports of that file, not the file itself. Thanks for your blazing fast response 😊

Any ideas?

I already mentioned above that you can use a nested array.

   {
      name: "Some module",
      pattern: "**", 
      allowImportsFrom: [
      
       // It can import everything except the file someFile.json from the given folder.
      ["src/someFolder/**", "!src/someFolder/someFile.json"] ,

      // It can import everything from shared folder.
      "src/shared/**"



     ],
    },

      ["src/someFolder/**", "!src/someFolder/someFile.json"] ,

      // It can import everything from shared folder.
      "src/shared/**"



     ],
    },

Sorry again, but it doesn’t work, u said - It can import everything except the file someFile.json from the given folder, that's right, but i want to ignore some specific file, so when i import it, i don't want to see any errors, all your examples above don't work

[Igorkowalski94]

In that case, you just add such a file to allowImportsFrom, and you won’t get an error xD.

[Igorkowalski94]

Your scenario is no different from simply allowing the import.

Allowing an import === Ignoring the error for that import

If you want to ignore/allow the same imports between modules, you can use reusableImportPatterns or simply create a variable.

{
  modules: [
    {
      name: "Module1",
      pattern: "src/module1/**",
      allowImportsFrom: ["{sharedIgnoredFiles}", "src/module1/**"],
    },
    {
      name: "Module 2",
      pattern: "src/module2/**",
      allowImportsFrom: ["{sharedIgnoredFiles}", "src/module2/**"],
    },
  ],
  reusableImportPatterns: {
    sharedIgnoredFiles: ["src/file1.ts", "src/folder1/file2.ts"],
  },
}

    {
      name: "Module 2",

      allowImportsFrom: ["{sharedIgnoredFiles}", "src/module2/**"],
    },
  ],
  reusableImportPatterns: {
    sharedIgnoredFiles: ["src/file1.ts", "src/folder1/file2.ts"],
  },
}

Thanks a lot, I thought u have a specific rule for it
