# redundant-alias

**Summary**: Redundant alias

**Category**: Imports

**Avoid**

```
package policyimport data.users.permissions as permissions
```

**Prefer**

```
package policyimport data.users.permissions
```

## Rationale

The last component of an import path can always be referenced by the last component of the import path itself inside the package in which it's imported. Using an alias with the same name is thus redundant, and should be omitted.

## Configuration Options

This linter rule provides the following configuration options:

```
rules:  imports:    redundant-alias:      # one of "error", "warning", "ignore"      level: error
```
