eslint-plugin-date

library0.0.0jsnpmunverified

An ESLint plugin that enforces safe Date usage in JavaScript to prevent timezone-related bugs. It bans direct usage of `new Date()`, `moment`, `dayjs`, and `date-fns` in favor of safer alternatives. The current version is 0.0.0 and has not seen active development. It is forked from Skyscanner's eslint-plugin-skyscanner-dates with business-specific changes. The plugin provides three config presets: recommended, error, and warn.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

plugin

✓ import date from 'eslint-plugin-date'

✗ const date = require('eslint-plugin-date')

ESM-only package. Use import for ES modules.

configs

✓ import { configs } from 'eslint-plugin-date'

✗ const { configs } = require('eslint-plugin-date')

Configs are exported as named exports. CommonJS require is not supported.

rules

✓ import { rules } from 'eslint-plugin-date'

✗ const rules = require('eslint-plugin-date').rules

Rules are also named exports. Direct require of property works but dispreferred.

Configures ESLint to use the date plugin with recommended settings and custom rule overrides.

// .eslintrc.js module.exports = { plugins: ['date'], extends: ['plugin:date/recommended'], rules: { 'date/no-date-fns': 'off', 'date/no-moment-dayjs': 'error', 'date/no-new-date-with-args': 'error', 'date/no-new-date-without-args': 'off' } };

Debug

Known issues

breakingPlugin uses ESM exports only; CommonJS require may fail in older Node versions.

fix

Use import syntax or enable ESM in your project.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaRules like 'no-date-fns' and 'no-moment-dayjs' are loosely named; they prevent any usage including safe patterns.

fix

Use the plugin's recommended config or selectively disable rules for allowed libraries.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe plugin does not provide automatic fixes; it only reports errors.

fix

Manually replace forbidden Date patterns with approved date handling utilities.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedThe plugin is based on an older fork of Skyscanner's dates plugin and may not receive updates.

fix

Consider using a maintained alternative like eslint-plugin-date-rules or a custom rule.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Failed to load plugin 'date' declared in '.eslintrc': Cannot find module 'eslint-plugin-date'

Plugin not installed or missing from package.json.

fix

npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-date

TypeError: date is not a function

Incorrect import of plugin; using require instead of import.

fix

Use `import date from 'eslint-plugin-date'` or adjust ESLint config to use string 'date'.

ESLint: 'date/no-date-fns' rule has been removed or is not found

Using a rule name that doesn't exist in the plugin.

fix

Check available rules: 'date/no-new-date-with-args', 'date/no-new-date-without-args', 'date/no-date-fns', 'date/no-moment-dayjs'.
