# link-uses-linkable-properties - ESLint plugin rules

This rule requires arguments to `defineLink` to be of the form `Module.linkable.<dataModel>` or an object with a `linkable: Module.linkable.<dataModel>` property.

## Severity

`warn`. This rule is enabled in the [recommended](https://docs.medusajs.com/resources/lint#recommended) preset.

## What it Targets

This rule targets files in your project's `src/links` directory. It reports `defineLink` arguments that don't reference a module's `linkable` property.

The following code is reported by the rule:

```ts title="src/links/product-post.ts"
import { defineLink } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
import ProductModule from "@medusajs/medusa/product"

export default defineLink(ProductModule, {
  foo: "bar",
})
```

Instead, reference each module's `linkable` property:

```ts title="src/links/product-post.ts"
import { defineLink } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
import ProductModule from "@medusajs/medusa/product"
import BlogModule from "../modules/blog"

export default defineLink(
  ProductModule.linkable.product,
  BlogModule.linkable.post
)
```

You can also pass an object with a `linkable` property to set options such as `isList`:

```ts title="src/links/product-post.ts"
export default defineLink(
  ProductModule.linkable.product,
  { linkable: BlogModule.linkable.post, isList: true }
)
```

When linking to a data model by its id (for example, linking to draft orders via `OrderModule.linkable.order.id`), the `.id` suffix on the linkable property is also valid:

```ts title="src/links/vendor-draft-order.ts"
import { defineLink } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
import MarketplaceModule from "../modules/marketplace"
import OrderModule from "@medusajs/medusa/order"

export default defineLink(
  MarketplaceModule.linkable.vendor,
  { linkable: OrderModule.linkable.order.id, isList: true }
)
```

## Why it's Important

A module's `linkable` property exposes the data models that can participate in a link. Referencing it ensures Medusa can resolve the linked records correctly at runtime.

Learn more in the [Module Links documentation](https://docs.medusajs.com/learn/fundamentals/module-links).

## Fixable

This rule isn't auto-fixable.

## Turn it Off

To turn off this rule, set it to `off` in your ESLint configuration:

```ts title="eslint.config.ts"
import { defineConfig } from "eslint/config"
import medusa from "@medusajs/eslint-plugin"

export default defineConfig([
  ...medusa.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      "@medusajs/link-uses-linkable-properties": "off",
    },
  },
])
```

Or disable it for a single line using an inline comment:

```ts
// eslint-disable-next-line @medusajs/link-uses-linkable-properties
export default defineLink(ProductModule, { foo: "bar" })
```
