# Only Node.js subpaths with no-restricted-imports and perfectionist/sort-imports

**[John Reilly](https://daily.dev/sources/johnnyreilly)** · 4 min read · 2 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

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.
