A walkthrough of enforcing Node.js subpath imports as the sole import style in a codebase. It covers setting up subpath mappings in package.json for TypeScript and runtime resolution, using ESLint's no-restricted-imports rule to block relative and alias-style imports, and using the perfectionist/sort-imports rule to keep import groups consistently ordered. The author acknowledges the approach is opinionated and may not suit every team.
