Support for dynamic imports in body

[corvana-nbaker]

We're leveraging dynamic imports and standard keeps complaining: "Parsing error: 'import' and 'export' may only appear at the top level"

Eslint supports suppressing this via the "allowImportExportEverywhere" parser option, but standard doesn't seem to read the .eslintrc file. /* eslint-disable /* doesn't work either.

Is anyone aware of a way to ignore this check?

/* eslint-disable */ should work...

May I ask how your setup is? I thought that dynamic imports where made via a function call (e.g. import('./foobar').then(() => /* ... */)) instead of using the import keyword?

[corvana-nbaker]

That's the syntax we're using yes.

@corvana-nbaker Are you referring to the allowImportExportEverywhere option that babel-eslint takes?

[corvana-nbaker]

Yes! How can I get "allowImportExportEverywhere" to take effect with standard?

[feross]

It appears that the allowImportExportEverywhere option is specifically for allowing import and export statements to work anywhere, effectively emulating how require() can appear anywhere (not just top-level).

I don't think this should be necessary if you're using the dynamic import() syntax.

Using babel-eslint@8 and standard@11, I am unable to reproduce this issue. It lints import() perfectly fine as far as I can tell.

Also, this appears related to: #1041
