nameValidity

Enforces that the name property is valid.

✅ This rule is included in the package-json logical presets.

This rule ensures that the name field is a string matching the npm specification:

• It must be a string rather than any other data type
• It should pass validate-npm-package-name validation

Examples

❌ Incorrect

{
  "name": ""
}

{
  "name": null
}

{
  "name": "Invalid Name"
}

✅ Correct

{
  "name": "my-repository"
}

{
  "name": "@scoped/my-repository"
}

When Not To Use It

If you don’t need compliance with npm’s name field specification, you can disable this rule. For example, if you use a different package manager that treats the field differently, this rule may not be correct for you.
