import/no-amd

AMD is RequireJS's module format: define(["dep"], function (dep) { ... }). Bun, Node.js and browsers don't run it without a loader, and tools can't follow its dependencies the way they follow import. In a project that uses ES modules, an AMD call is a leftover.

A call to define or require is reported if it has exactly two arguments and the first is an array. Only calls at the top level of a module are reported, not calls inside a function or a block. A CommonJS require("name") is fine.

Configure

Off by default. To turn it on:

[lint.rules]
"import/no-amd" = "error" # or "warn"

Examples

Reported:

define(["./logger"], function (logger) {
  logger.info("ready");
});

require(["./logger", "./config"], function (logger, config) {
  logger.info(config.name);
});

Not reported:

import logger from "./logger.js";
import config from "./config.js";

logger.info(config.name);

const logger = require("./logger");

function loadLegacyPlugin(done) {
  require(["./legacy-plugin"], done);
}
