disable import sorting in one file?

[lukepighetti]

is there a way to disable import sorting in one file? we have a barrel file that has been sorted by hand by one of our engineers and they would like to retain that sort order in only that file. they've tried the lint ignore syntax for import sorting but it didn't stop it from automatically sorting. we do have sort on save enabled in VSCode / cursor settings

for the time being i have suggested that they save without formatting/fixing/sorting and then use the lint ignore syntax to see how far that takes the problem but i haven't had feedback yet on if it worked (we run biome check --write in CI)

You can disable import sorting using a suppression comment on the first import:

// biome-ignore assist/source/organizeImports: organized by hand
import B from "b";
import A from "a";

As demonstrated in the playground, the imports are not organized (See the "Analyzer Fixes" tab).

Otherwise, you can add an override in the biome config file and disable organizeImports for a given file:

{
  "overrides": [{
    "includes": ["src/barrel-file.js"],
    "assist": {
      "actions": {
        "organizeImports": "off"
      }
    }
  }]
}

biome fix --write

Do you mean biome lint --write?
biome lint and biome format doesn't organize imports.
biome check does.
If you run biome check --write, it will organize all imports.

that works, thank you!
