sitegenesis/no-global-require

Disallows top-level require() calls in SiteGenesis controller files when not every route function uses the same dependency.

What it checks

• Applies only to files under cartridge/controllers/
• Counts top-level route functions, not nested helpers or callbacks
• Reports global require bindings that are used in fewer route functions than the file contains

Why this rule exists

SiteGenesis controllers are easier to reason about when route-specific dependencies live inside the route functions that use them. That prevents shared global require declarations from leaking into routes that do not need them.

Default behavior

• Severity: error
• Auto-fix: none

Example

Invalid: controller

var server = require("server")
var someHelper = require("*/cartridge/scripts/helper") 

server.get("Show", function (req, res, next) {
  someHelper.doSomething()
  next()
})

Valid: controller

var server = require("server")

server.get("Show", function (req, res, next) {
  var someHelper = require("*/cartridge/scripts/helper")
  someHelper.doSomething()
  next()
})
