Pattern: File name not matching default exported value

Issue: -

Description

Match the file name against the default exported value in the module. Files that don't have a default export will be ignored. The exports of index.js are matched against their parent directory.

// Considered problem only if the file isn't named foo.js or foo/index.js
export default function foo() {}

// Considered problem only if the file isn't named Foo.js or Foo/index.js
module.exports = class Foo() {}

// Considered problem only if the file isn't named someVariable.js or someVariable/index.js
module.exports = someVariable;

// Never considered a problem
export default { foo: "bar" };

If your filename policy doesn't quite match with your variable naming policy, you can add one or multiple transforms:

"filenames/match-exported": [ 2, "kebab" ]

Now, in your code:

// Considered problem only if file isn't named variable-name.js or variable-name/index.js
export default function variableName;

Available transforms: 'snake', 'kebab', 'camel', and 'pascal' (camel-cased with first letter in upper case).

For multiple transforms simply specify an array like this (null in this case stands for no transform):

"filenames/match-exported": [2, [ null, "kebab", "snake" ] ]

If you prefer to use suffixes for your files (e.g. Foo.react.js for a React component file), you can use a second configuration parameter. It allows you to remove parts of a filename matching a regex pattern before transforming and matching against the export.

"filenames/match-exported": [ 2, null, "\\.react$" ]

Now, in your code:

// Considered problem only if file isn't named variableName.react.js, variableName.js or variableName/index.js
export default function variableName;
