- we're now so close to having the server not require anything from the frontend... so close
- having these last few problems be visible is motivating
- should be able to upgrade it to an error soooon!

- we can remove these again now that we've done the work to get rid of the two worst offenders: lib/common/events and urlservice
- happened quicker than I expected :D
- url service is responsible for many problem requires, and will be removed soon
- the same with lib/common/events
- excluding these leaves us with a handful of much harder to solve requires clearly indicated
- These rules are currently off. We turn them on whilst testing atm to see progress.
- We will turn the core/server rule on sooner than the core/shared one.
- Commented the core/shared rule out and put it first so I don't have to keep adding/removing the comma

- In eslint-plugin-ghost 2.4.0 I moved some of the rules implmented in Ghost as they are global rules, including:
- no new Error() - use @tryghost/errors
- forcing index.js to be under 50 chars as a leading indicator for misuse of index files
- I also added new rules to check for tpl('literal string') and the deprecated ghost-ignition package
- Because the new Error and tpl rules are both implemented with no-restricted-syntax, the local rules overrode the global one
- Removing the rule here allows the global ones to work
- Have to think about how to do this long term
- we have our own error library that should always be used to wrap errors in useful info
- therefore instead of new Error() we should always be using errors.SomeError from @tryghost/error
- We should not require server or frontend files inside the shared libraries as these are intended to be required FROM the server and frontend components
- Now that we've resolved the two outstanding warnings, make this an error so we can't regress on this easily
- index.js files are meant to be an index, not contain behaviour or logic
- files longer than 50 lines are indicative of code in the wrong place, all though not definitive
- enabling this as a hint to get us to move code to better locations
- We want to keep behaviour in services and libraries, not in API endpoints
- This rule runs complexity _only_ on the query methods, and has it set super low - just 3
- Methods that have higher complexity are a great indicator of places where we've left behaviour in the API, however!
- It's indicative, not definitive. At least with an eslint rule we can if needs be disable it where we decide the code is OK
- These rules will help us to enforce that server code should not be required from the frontend, and vice versa
- They are disabled/off for now because they are too noisy and not quick to fix
- Having them in place makes it easy to set them to warn to preview how we're getting on with fixing them ahead of enabling them

- I wrote a custom plugin for the no-cross-requires logic between our modules after not finding anything that could do it
- Then, when searching for the next rule I wanted, I found eslint-plugin-ghost has no-restricted-requires
- This rule is more flexible, so switching to it
- NOTE: This update to eslint-plugin-ghost also fixes performance of linting our test files by pinning eslint-plugin-mocha to v7 as v8 has performance problems
- Using JS files to configure eslint gives us more power, e.g. being able to calculate paths
- We already use JS in pretty much every other repo we own, including admin... it's just Ghost we don't, and it's time!
