Doesn't work correctly with package.json trick

[arnsa]

Hello,

so in my project I am using this little neat trick with package.json file. Let's say I have images folder and inside that folder I have a package.json file with only one line: { "name":"images" }. That way, I can use imports like this:

import MarkerImage from 'images/marker.png';

And it will work just fine. The problem is that eslint-plugin-import that it's unable to resolve path module and also that "images" should be listed in the project's dependencies. Is there any way to fix this without disabling these rules?

This "trick" is generally a bad practice (having nested package.json files), but I think this is related to #935 and #904?

@ljharb why is it considered a bad practice?

I wrote a bit about it here; in particular, it's just not a convention people expect.

Okay, I see. I've found a solution in one of the issues you've linked. Thanks!
