Pattern: Circular dependency

Issue: -

Description

A circular dependency occurs when module A imports from module B, which directly or indirectly imports back to module A. This creates confusing architectures where bugs become hard to find and can lead to importing undefined values.

Examples

Example of incorrect code:

// dep-a.js
import { b } from "./dep-b.js";
export function a() { /* ... */ }

// dep-b.js
import { a } from "./dep-a.js";
export function b() { /* ... */ }

Example of correct code:

// dep-a.js
import { b } from "./dep-b.js";
export function a() { /* ... */ }

// dep-b.js
export function b() { /* ... */ }
