eslint-plugin-disallow-methods

0.1.0 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript abandoned

An ESLint plugin that disallows specified method calls on given objects. Current version 0.1.0, released as an early prototype with unstable API (under active development). Key differentiator: allows custom configuration of blocked methods per object via ESLint rules, targeting method calls like `foo.bar()` rather than generic function calls. Alternative to no-restricted-syntax with a more declarative approach. Development appears stalled; no updates since initial release.

Common errors

error Error: Cannot find module 'eslint-plugin-disallow-methods' ↓

cause Plugin not installed or ESLint cannot resolve it.

fix

Run 'npm install eslint-plugin-disallow-methods --save-dev' and ensure node_modules is correct.

error Configuration for rule "disallow-methods" is invalid: Definition for rule 'disallow-methods' was not found. ↓

cause Using wrong rule name without plugin scope prefix.

fix

Change rule name to 'disallow-methods/disallow-methods'.

Warnings

breaking API may change at any time; do not rely on stable configuration. ↓

fix Lock version to exact 0.1.0 or consider alternative plugins.

gotcha Rule name is 'disallow-methods/disallow-methods', not 'disallow-methods'. ↓

fix Use full scoped rule name in rules configuration.

gotcha Method wildcard '*' disallows all methods on the object. ↓

fix Use '*' as method value to block all method calls on that object.
