What it reports

jQuery dependency detected at line {line}. In 2026, native DOM APIs (querySelector, fetch, classList, addEventListener) are sufficient and far lighter. Dropping jQuery reduces bundle size and removes an unnecessary abstraction layer.

Flagged

import $ from 'jquery';

const $ = require('jquery');

Not flagged

import { render } from 'react-dom';

Pattern

(require\(['"]jquery['"]\)|from\s+['"]jquery['"])
