bugsPresence

Enforces that the bugs property is present.

✅ This rule is included in the package-json preset.

This rule requires the bugs field in package.json to be present.

Examples

❌ Incorrect

{}

{
  "name": "my-repository"
}

✅ Correct

{
  "bugs": "https://example.com/issues"
}

{
  "bugs": {
    "url": "https://example.com/issues"
  },
  "name": "my-repository"
}

Options

ignorePrivate

Whether the property should still be required when the package’s private property is true. Defaults to false.

This option can be useful if the rule is enabled on many package.json files and some files differ in privacy.

When Not To Use It

If your package does not accept public bug reports, you can disable this rule. For example, an internal package may track issues in a private system that should not be exposed in package metadata.
