IMSorter

A simple imports sorter according to your taste!

IMSorter reads a configuration file and searches for all import statements in the active document, then collects and sorts them at the beginning of the active document.


Note 1: IMSorter currently supports import statements in the following formats:

import { a } from "lib"
import a from "lib"
import * as a from "lib"
import {
    a, b
} from "lib"
...

Note 2: require statements are not currently supported.


Usage:

1- Install IMSorter.

2- Add an imsorter.js configuration file in the root directory of your project and configure it.

3- Open the file you want to sort imports in.

4- Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and enter IMSorter.

5- WoW!


Configuration File Setup:

The IMSorter config file is a JS Module with an "importsKey" array. Add directories/libraries as regex or string in the desired order, like this:

module.exports = {
    "importsKey": [
        /^react$/,            //order 1
        /^react*/,            //order 2
        "axios",              //order 3
        "./api",              //order 4
        /\.\.\/components*/,  //order 5
        "assets/img"          //order 6
    ]
}

Example:

These imports:

import line1 from "@/assets/img/lines-1.png";
import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import { IconButton } from "../components/buttons/IconButton";
import line2 from "@/assets/img/lines-2.png";
import axios from "axios";
import { useNavigate } from "react-router-dom";
import { IconInput } from "../components/Inputs/IconInput";

Sorted To:

import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";

import { useNavigate } from "react-router-dom";

import axios from "axios";

import { IconButton } from "../components/Buttons/IconButton"
import { IconInput } from "../components/Inputs/IconInput"

import line1 from "@/assets/img/lines-1.png";
import line2 from "@/assets/img/lines-2.png";
