Description

A module importing itself creates a circular dependency that can cause runtime issues, including infinite loops, unresolved imports, or undefined values. This often happens accidentally during refactoring.

Example of incorrect code:

// foo.js
import foo from "./foo.js";
const bar = require("./foo");

Example of correct code:

// foo.js
import bar from "./bar.js";
