# Disallows the use of require statements except in import statements (no-var-requires)

In other words, the use of forms such as `var foo = require("foo")` are banned. Instead use ES6 style imports or `import foo = require("foo")` imports.

## Rule Details

Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:

```ts
var foo = require("foo");
const foo = require("foo");
let foo = require("foo");
```

Examples of **correct** code for this rule:

```ts
import foo = require("foo");
require("foo");
```

## When Not To Use It

If you don't care about TypeScript module syntax, then you will not need this rule.
