`require` support about eslint-plugin-simple-import-sort HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for the kind words!

I would love a really good require sorter too! However, I'm not interested in making one, because these days the majority of the code I write uses import only, and as such I don't want to spend the time on dealing with all the complexity of require.

If you make or find a good eslint-plugin-simple-require-sort plugin – feel free to share it and I'll happily link to it!

I'm also kind of hoping that import will start being a thing in Node.js code before a eslint-plugin-simple-require-sort plugin comes into existence, so that sorting require becomes less and less relevant :)

For now I'm sticking with import/order which works OK-ish.

Kind of hoping someone comes along and does just this!

Yea, I agree, we might get there relatively soon, at least in applications which only need to support a single Node version.

However in libraries there's a lot of diversity of opinion. Many libraries have a policy of targeting all the LTS versions of Node. For example, the latest release of Nock supports Node 6, and it's only in beta releases where Node 6 support has been dropped. Express takes a particularly (conservative? liberal?) approach: according to their package.json they still supports 0.10.0! That might be a little extreme, but keep in mind that it's not an obscure package: express is a big project with a big ecosystem of dependencies, all of which are basically following that rule.

TLDR, I think require() is going to be around for a while.

Of course I'm not trying to convince you to do work you don't want to do; just wanting to encourage someone who may be feeling this need more acutely, that this is worth taking on.

Yeah, me too. Forever, actually. But at some point (in a couple of years) hopefully all new packages will be written with import.

Not asking for supporting require but just want to say thank you for the plugin. I was dead from using a tool with jscodeshift until now. Keep doing your great work!
