A simple script to sort Javascript imports the way I want

1. No names (side-effect)
   import "module"
2. Everything
   import * from "module"
3. Defaults
   import a from "module"
4. Named
   import { a, b } from "module"

• The source is prioritized over the import
• Special characters comes first
• Numbers comes second
• Lowercase letters comes third
• Uppercase letters comes fourth
• In case an import contains both defaults and named, the defaults are prioritized and put first

• Supports multiline imports
• Adds a newline between imports from different types

• Doesn't work yet with require() syntax
• Can't really sort the imports from a module (ex : import {z, b}, s, a from "c" becomes import a, s, {b, z} from "c"), due to how it perceives mixed imports
• Doesn't support semicolons at the end of the import
• Doesn't support comments
• Doesn't deduplicate imports
• ESLint plugin not yet implemented

import "@mdi/font/css/materialdesignicons.css"
import "vuetify/styles"

import * from "node:fs"

import js from "@eslint/js"
import vuetify, { transformAssetUrls } from "vite-plugin-vuetify"

import { defineNuxtPlugin } from "#app"
import { createVuetify } from "vuetify"
import {
  en,
  fr
} from "vuetify/locale"

Install the package

npm install js-imports-sort

• In a javascript file

import sortImports from "js-imports-sort"

const code = `
import { createVuetify } from "vuetify"
import js from "@eslint/js"
import vuetify, { transformAssetUrls } from "vite-plugin-vuetify"
import * from "node:fs"
import { defineNuxtPlugin } from "#app"
import "vuetify/styles"
import {
  en,
  fr
} from "vuetify/locale"
import "@mdi/font/css/materialdesignicons.css"
`

const sortedCode = sortImports(code)
console.log(sortedCode)

• In a shell

npx js-imports-sort@latest <file> -r

Params available :

• -r or --replace : Replace the file content with the sorted imports
• -o <path> or --output <path> : Output the sorted imports in a different file. Have to be used with -r
• -l or --log : Output the sorted imports in the console

At least one of -r or -l has to be used
