React Import Sorter

React Import Sorter is a powerful and user-friendly VS Code extension that helps you keep your imports in React projects organized and easy to maintain.

Installation

You can install the React Import Sorter extension by searching for it in the VS Code extensions marketplace, or by downloading it from the extension's page.

Features

• Sorts imports in React projects according to configurable settings
• Allows you to define custom import sorting orders
• Supports multiline sorting
• Supports sorting by import size or alphabetically
• Separates different types of imports with a new line
• Adds a new line before multiline imports
• Sorts destructured imports

Configuration

React Import Sorter comes with several configuration options that allow you to customize how your imports are sorted. These options can be accessed via the VS Code settings menu under the "React Import Sorter" category.

It's highly recommended to use formatters like Prettier to keep consistent formatting!

Sorting Order

The reactImportSorter.sortingOrder option allows you to define the order in which your imports are sorted. This is an array of strings that can include the following values:

• REACT - Sorts all React imports first
• MODULES - Sorts all node module imports next
• PATH_MODULES - Sorts path alias imports next
• PATH_IMPORTS - Sorts all other path imports last

Separation of Import Types

The reactImportSorter.separateByImportTypes option determines whether different types of imports are separated with a new line.

Separation of Multiline Imports

The reactImportSorter.separateMultilineImports option determines whether a new line is added before multiline imports.

Sorting of Destructured Modules

The reactImportSorter.sortDestructuredModules option determines whether destructured imports are sorted. For example, { c, a, d } can be sorted as { a, c, d }.

Sorting By

The reactImportSorter.sortBy option determines the order in which your imports are sorted. This option accepts four possible values:

• +size - Sorts imports by size in ascending order
• -size - Sorts imports by size in descending order
• a-z - Sorts imports alphabetically in ascending order
• z-a - Sorts imports alphabetically in descending order

Sorting of Destructured Modules By

The reactImportSorter.sortDestructuredModulesBy option determines the order in which destructured imports are sorted. This option accepts four possible values:

• +size - Sorts destructured imports by size in ascending order
• -size - Sorts destructured imports by size in descending order
• a-z - Sorts destructured imports alphabetically in ascending order
• z-a - Sorts destructured imports alphabetically in descending order

Path Import Prefixes

The reactImportSorter.pathImportPrefixes option allows you to define custom path import prefixes that are used to identify path imports. By default, all imports with / are considered as path imports, even if they are from node_modules like @mui/material.

Usage

To sort imports in a file, Select all import statements, open the file and run the "Sort React Imports" command. This can be done by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) to open the VS Code command palette and searching for the "Sort React Imports" command.

Configuration options

The extension comes with several configuration options that can be adjusted to fit your preferences. These options can be accessed by going to File > Preferences > Settings and searching for "React Import Sorter". Here are some of the most useful options:

• reactImportSorter.sortingOrder: An array of strings that defines the order of imports to sort by.
• reactImportSorter.separateByImportTypes: Whether to separate different types of imports with a new line.
• reactImportSorter.separateMultilineImports: Whether to add a new line before multiline imports.
• reactImportSorter.sortDestructuredModules: Whether to sort destructured imports.
• reactImportSorter.sortBy: The sorting order for the imports.
• reactImportSorter.sortDestructuredModulesBy: The sorting order for the destructured imports, only applicable when sortDestructuredModules is on.
• reactImportSorter.pathImportPrefixes: An array of strings that defines the custom made alias paths (generally via tsconfig.json's paths). By default, all the imports with / will be considered as path imports, even if they're from node_modules like @mui/material.
