eslint:enforce-file-structure

Require imports before body statements and require `use server` to be the first statement.

Default
error
Fix
none
Languages
typescript

Why

Interleaved imports obscure module dependencies, while a displaced `use server` string is not an active directive.

Fix

Move `use server` to the first statement when present, then place imports before declarations and executable statements.

Before / after

Executed by this rule’s unit tests.

Before

An import follows a module declaration

src/component.ts · focus
export const x = 1;
import { z } from 'zod';

After

Imports precede module declarations

src/component.ts · focus
import { z } from 'zod';
export const schema = z.string();

Limits

  • The rule skips tests and generated files, treats re-exports as neutral, and does not order body declarations.
