No template literals in normal strings

Do we want to create a rule for this here?
I don't think it happens often but can be useful, and we might as well put it here as we have/want plenty of different type of rules.

[sindresorhus]

Yeah. Doesn't have to happen often to be useful.

Might want to wait on this though (from linked issue):

I'll leave this open for a bit to see if anyone on the team wants to disagree.

[ljharb]

It's now closed, sadly. I'd love to be able to use this rule.

[sindresorhus]

Alright. Let's do it then.

[ljharb]

@sindresorhus it'd be awesome if it could be done standalone, and made a dep of this one, so i can use it in other packages without having to bring in this entire package :-)

[jfmengels]

You wouldn't get much less by having a standalone module (there a not a lot of dependencies... yet), and maybe you'll want all the awesome rules that it has and will have? :D

More seriously, to me, it's a bit of a pain to create a new project for it. I agree that you might not want all the rest, but maintaining-wise, it's simpler to have it in a project that is actively maintained by several people, not in a corner somewhere. I proposed to add it here because this is a collection of various rules, and what you asked for is kind of a specific rule, with no existing plugin (afaik) it could get included in.

Then again, if we write this rule, you're free to copy it in a new repo and use it as you see fit.

[ljharb]

I use eslint-find-rules --unused to ensure that all rules available are defined, so if I bring in a plugin with N rules, i have to add N lines to my eslint config.

If the authors don't mind, then once written, I'd be happy to spend the few minutes required to create a new project, and would be happy to copy the code and share ownership/maintainership of it, especially if this module could pull it in as a dep.

Maybe we should build this project as a monorepo? Split each rule into its own package? It would be interesting to explore what AVA and XO could do to enable monorepo development:

• shared config
• easily test/lint all submodules/packages
• easily test/lint an individual submodule/package

Can be interesting.

Does AVA already do something monorepo-like, or are you suggesting it could start doing something in that vein? If so, I'm curious as to what parts of it.

[sindresorhus]

I'm really not a big fan of monorepos. At this point it would seem like a premature complication. It would also add a lot of overhead. I think the rules we have now makes sense in one package. We currently have a nice setup with tests, docs and code coverage. I don't really see the problem depending on this plugin, even if you only want one rule. We currently only have 4 tiny dependencies. Dependencies matters less in a dev environment.

I use eslint-find-rules --unused to ensure that all rules available are defined, so if I bring in a plugin with N rules, i have to add N lines to my eslint config.

I would rather fix that module. It should have an ignore option.

Closing as it's being integrated in ESLint core rules eslint/eslint#6767
