1. the paths in the source code don't have to exactly match, they just have to point to the same module on the filesystem. (i.e. `./foo` and `./foo.js`)
...whereas here, both `./mod` imports will be reported:
```js
import SomeDefaultClass from './mod'
// oops, some other import separated these lines
import foo from './some-other-mod'
import * as names from './mod'
// will catch this too, assuming it is the same target module
import { something } from './mod.js'
```
The motivation is that this is likely a result of two developers importing different
names from the same module at different times (and potentially largely different
locations in the file.) This rule brings both (or n-many) to attention.
### Query Strings
By default, this rule ignores query strings (i.e. paths followed by a question mark), and thus imports from `./mod?a` and `./mod?b` will be considered as duplicates. However you can use the option `considerQueryString` to handle them as different (primarily because browsers will resolve those imports differently).
TypeScript 4.5 introduced a new [feature](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-4-5/#type-on-import-names) that allows mixing of named value and type imports. In order to support fixing to an inline type import when duplicate imports are detected, `prefer-inline` can be set to true.
If the core ESLint version is good enough (i.e. you're _not_ using Flow and you _are_ using [`import/extensions`](./extensions.md)), keep it and don't use this.
If you like to split up imports across lines or may need to import a default and a namespace,
