no-mikroorm-direct-import - ESLint plugin rules

This rule disallows importing MikroORM or awilix directly. As of Medusa v2.11, they're bundled into @medusajs/framework, so use the @medusajs/framework/mikro-orm/* and @medusajs/framework/awilix re-exports.

Severity#

warn. This rule is enabled in the recommended preset.

What it Targets#

This rule targets all files in your project. It reports imports and re-exports from @mikro-orm/* packages or the bare awilix package.

The following code is reported by the rule:

src/modules/example.ts
1// non-compliant2import { EntityManager } from "@mikro-orm/core"

Instead, import from the Medusa Framework re-export:

src/modules/example.ts
1// compliant2import { EntityManager } from "@medusajs/framework/mikro-orm/core"

Why it's Important#

Using the Medusa Framework re-exports ensures you depend on the same MikroORM and awilix versions Medusa uses, avoiding version mismatches and duplicate copies in your project.

Fixable#

This rule is auto-fixable. Run the linter with the --fix option to apply the fix automatically.

Turn it Off#

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

eslint.config.ts
1import { defineConfig } from "eslint/config"2import medusa from "@medusajs/eslint-plugin"3
4export default defineConfig([5  ...medusa.configs.recommended,6  {7    rules: {8      "@medusajs/no-mikroorm-direct-import": "off",9    },10  },11])

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

Code
1// eslint-disable-next-line @medusajs/no-mikroorm-direct-import2import { EntityManager } from "@mikro-orm/core"
