Support for "message" with "patterns" in `no-restricted-imports`

[mikeplis]

Creating a new request for a closed issue, as suggested here.

What rule do you want to change? no-restricted-imports

Does this change cause the rule to produce more or fewer warnings? Neither

How will the change be implemented? (New option, new default behavior, etc.)? Allow a new format for an existing option

Please provide some example code that this change will affect:

// I can currently customize the error message for restricted path imports like this
import * as moment from 'moment';
// But I can't customize the error message for restricted pattern imports like this
import { Button } from '../../framework/buttons';

What I'd like to do in my ESLint config:

{
  "rules": {
    "no-restricted-imports": ["error", {
      "paths": [{"name": "moment", "message": "Don't import moment"}],
      "patterns": [{"name": "**/framework/*", "message": "Only import from the root of /framework"}]
    }]
  }
}

What does the rule currently do for this code? I can't customize the error message for the restricted pattern import

What will the rule do after it's changed? It should allow me to customize the error message for the restricted pattern import

Are you willing to submit a pull request to implement this change? Sure, though I'd like to get some clarity on how difficult the "large option schema change" mentioned here would be.

Unfortunately, it looks like there wasn't enough interest from the team
or community to implement this change. While we wish we'd be able to
accommodate everyone's requests, we do need to prioritize. We've found
that issues failing to reach accepted status after 21 days tend to
never be accepted, and as such, we close those issues.
This doesn't mean the idea isn't interesting or useful, just that it's
not something the team can commit to.

Thanks for contributing to ESLint and we appreciate your understanding.

Okay, we've had two team members review this and be in favor of the change but I think more folks can look at this.

I'll champion.

@eslint/eslint-team Can we review this please?

@platinumazure Are you still championing this?

+1 for this to express interest :-)
