Add `no-anonymous-default-export` rule #712

duncanbeevers · 2017-01-05T19:25:36Z

Forbids exporting anonymous functions, literals, class expressions, or arrow functions as module default.

This is intended to improve the grepability of codebases by encouraging the re-use of identifiers at their declaration site and at their import sites.

ljharb · 2017-01-05T22:17:17Z

Should this then warn if you default-export an arrow function? what about an anonymous class expression?

Why are literals forbidden? The identifier name of their import would usually match the filename, by convention.

duncanbeevers · 2017-01-06T03:10:29Z

The idea is to improve grepability of the codebase. When grepping around for an identifier, filenames aren't matched on, only the contents of the file.

I agree that it should warn if you default-export an arrow function or an anonymous class expression. I'll add specs for those cases.

duncanbeevers · 2017-01-06T03:34:31Z

@ljharb Now forbids default exports of anonymous class expressions and arrow functions. Added functionality, specs and documentation to cover these cases.

Currently, this checks for primitive literals, object literals, anon classes, anon functions, and arrows. What would you think about an option for each of these items?

My personal use cases would only enable the functions and classes, but object literals in particular I'd need to be able to turn off.

duncanbeevers · 2017-01-06T07:59:49Z

@ljharb Each forbidden unnamed default export type can now be selectively allowed with an option.

Hi @duncanbeevers! Thanks for the interesting rule and making a PR for it :)

I have written some ways this could be simplified, feel free to disagree if you feel I'm mistaken somewhere.

Could you add few valid tests for other kind of exports (named exports, export * from 'foo').
They are properly ignored at the moment, but it's mostly for documentation's sake.
(Might just be me, but I like to add additional tests slightly out of bounds of what is being treated to prevent surprises)

Added a few specs for a couple of flavors of exports and labeled the section

// Sanity check unrelated export syntaxes

+
+ruleTester.run('no-anonymous-default-export', rule, {
+    valid: [
+      // Named exports are valid


This is a confusing comment, as named exports are a thing of their own

export const foo = 2;

Instead, "not anonymous", "with a name"? Or whatever you feel like naming it.

Updated this comment to

// Exports with identifiers are valid

+        const noID = !node.declaration.id
+
+        if (type === 'Literal' && forbid(MAP[type])) {


You can simplify the conditions by having this pretty much at the start of the function:

if (!forbid(MAP[type])) { return; }

jfmengels · 2017-01-07T00:00:06Z

src/rules/no-anonymous-default-export.js

+          context.report({
+            node: node,
+            message: 'Unexpected default export of anonymous function',


I'm not a native speaker, but doesn't of an anonymous function sound better?

I've added articles are all the default export types for consistency.

a literal an array an object

etc...

jfmengels · 2017-01-07T00:04:41Z

src/rules/no-anonymous-default-export.js

+          return
+        }
+
+        if (type === 'ObjectExpression' && forbid(MAP[type])) {


I think you can make all this less repetitive:

const types = { // or whatever you wish to name it ObjectExpression: { validation: () => true, description: 'object expression', }, FunctionDeclaration: { validation: id => !id, description: 'anonymous function', }, // ... } // .... 'ExportDefaultDeclaration': (node) => { if (forbid(MAP[type]) && types[type] && types[type].validation(node.declaration.id)) { context.report({ node: node, message: 'Unexpected default export of ' + types[type].description, }) } }

The architecture of the rule now roughly matches this suggested layout.

+Reports if a module's default export is unnamed. This includes several types of unnamed data types; literals, object expressions, anonymous functions, arrow functions, and anonymous class declarations.


I would also enforce this on arrays, which I for instance sometimes use to create a fixtures file.
Also, I think it would make sense to also handle template literals if we intend to handle pretty much any value ?

Agreed - it should handle arrays, but template literals i'd expect to be covered under "literals".

Yes, I was thinking the same thing, no real reason to handle them separately from normal strings and numbers.

Added enforcement for arrays, and a spec for the handling of template literals.

jfmengels · 2017-01-07T00:15:42Z

src/rules/no-anonymous-default-export.js

+module.exports = {
+  meta: {
+    schema: {
+      type: 'array',


I think the options should better be passed as an object, with a true/false values to each key. I found that having one object with settings instead of multiple values in a given order makes it much more extendable.

My gut feeling is to make it so that a field set to true would make it forbidden, and false would make it ignored, and that you'd have it true by default.

/*eslint import/no-anonymous-default-export: [2, "allow-arrow-function-expression"]*/ --> /*eslint import/no-anonymous-default-export: [2, {ArrowFunctionExpression: false}]*/

The schema would look something like this (IIRC) (adapted from what is done in https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/blob/master/src/rules/no-extraneous-dependencies.js)

schema: [ { 'type': 'object', 'properties': { 'Literal': { 'type': 'boolean' }, 'ObjectExpression': { 'type': 'boolean' }, 'FunctionDeclaration': { 'type': 'boolean' }, 'ArrowFunctionExpression': { 'type': 'boolean' }, 'ClassDeclaration': { 'type': 'boolean' }, }, 'additionalProperties': false, }, ],

And you'd get options like

create: function (context) { const options = context.options[0] || {} }

I would be fine with simplifying the name of the properties (like ArrowFunctionExpression --> ArrowFunction), you'd just need to account for the difference in the code.

Options are now handled as a single object. Details are spelled out in the rule description file.

The names are explicit, I like it 👍

+    invalid: [
+      test({ code: 'export default []', errors: [{ message: 'Unexpected default export of an array' }] }),


I think the error messages are confusing.
Unexpected default export of an anonymous class/function are fine, because they mention that what is wrong is the anonymousness.

For the others, it feels like this rule says that arrays/literals/objects are not allowed to be the default export for some reason.
I think it would be clearer if we recommended giving it a name or assigning it to a variable.

The error messages and schema description strings have all been made explicit. The messages about anonymous functions and classes remain the same, while the rest of the messages are updated to use a more active voice.

'Assign literal to a variable before exporting as module default'

+      test({ code: 'export default 123', errors: [{ message: 'Unexpected default export of a literal' }] }),


Could you add a test with a string and one with a template literal ?

I added tests with string and template literal cases to both the success and failure corpuses, and found that template literals were not yet forbidden.

I corrected this by adding a TemplateLiteral clause to the defs structure whose value is intentionally identical to Literal's

+  reduce((acc, def) => {
+    acc[def.option] = {
+      description: 'If `false`, will not report default export of ' + def.message,


This sounds like the opposite of what the name suggests.
From what I understand, if allowLiteral is set to true, then Literals will be reported. 🤔

This should be reversed and the default value should be false.

Yes, this fell out of date as I reworked the implementation. Corrected.

+const defaultOptions = Object.keys(defs).
+  map((key) => defs[key]).
+  reduce((acc, def) => {
+    acc[def.options] = false


def.option ? 🤔

This defaultOptions object doesn't strictly need to be constructed. I created it (poorly) for parity with the documentation. Since it doesn't affect behavior, I'm rewinding my decision here and removing this.
