# import/no-commonjs
Reports `require([string])` function calls. Will not report if >1 argument,
or single argument is not a literal string.
Reports `module.exports` or `exports.*`, also.
Intended for temporary use when migrating to pure ES6 modules.
## Rule Details
This will be reported:
```js
var mod = require('./mod')
, common = require('./common')
, fs = require('fs')
, whateverModule = require('./not-found')
module.exports = { a: "b" }
exports.c = "d"
```
### Allow require
If `allowRequire` option is set to `true`, `require` calls are valid:
```js
/*eslint no-commonjs: [2, { allowRequire: true }]*/
var mod = require('./mod');
```
but `module.exports` is reported as usual.
### Allow conditional require
By default, conditional requires are allowed:
```js
var a = b && require("c")
if (typeof window !== "undefined") {
require('that-ugly-thing');
}
var fs = null;
try {
fs = require("fs")
} catch (error) {}
```
If the `allowConditionalRequire` option is set to `false`, they will be reported.
If you don't rely on synchronous module loading, check out [dynamic import](https://github.com/airbnb/babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node).
### Allow primitive modules
If `allowPrimitiveModules` option is set to `true`, the following is valid:
```js
/*eslint no-commonjs: [2, { allowPrimitiveModules: true }]*/
module.exports = "foo"
module.exports = function rule(context) { return { /* ... */ } }
```
but this is still reported:
```js
/*eslint no-commonjs: [2, { allowPrimitiveModules: true }]*/
module.exports = { x: "y" }
exports.z = function boop() { /* ... */ }
```
This is useful for things like ESLint rule modules, which must export a function as
the module.
## When Not To Use It
If you don't mind mixing module systems (sometimes this is useful), you probably
don't want this rule.
It is also fairly noisy if you have a larger codebase that is being transitioned
from CommonJS to ES6 modules.
## Contributors
Special thanks to @xjamundx for donating the module.exports and exports.* bits.
