prefer-container-registration-keys - ESLint plugin rules

This rule prefers ContainerRegistrationKeys.* members over magic strings in resolve(...) calls.

Severity#

warn. This rule is enabled in the recommended preset.

What it Targets#

This rule targets all files in your project. It reports calls to resolve(...) that pass a known registration-key string, such as "query" or "logger", instead of the matching ContainerRegistrationKeys member.

The following code is reported by the rule:

src/api/example.ts
1// non-compliant2const query = req.scope.resolve("query")

Instead, use the ContainerRegistrationKeys enum:

src/api/example.ts
1// compliant2import { ContainerRegistrationKeys } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"3
4const query = req.scope.resolve(5  ContainerRegistrationKeys.QUERY6)

Why it's Important#

The ContainerRegistrationKeys enum gives you a single, type-safe source for registration keys. Using it avoids typos in magic strings and makes resolved dependencies easier to find and refactor.

Learn more in the Medusa Container documentation.

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/prefer-container-registration-keys": "off",9    },10  },11])

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

Code
1// eslint-disable-next-line @medusajs/prefer-container-registration-keys2const query = req.scope.resolve("query")
