Restrict importing specific packages

I am working in a monorepo with different "tiers" of packages and I want to restrict which tiers can import from which other tiers. E.g. core packages cannot import from feature packages.

I tried configuring the existing no-restricted-paths rule for this, but I couldn't seem to get it to work since from is of course treated as a path relative to basePath so there is no way to get it to match a package name.

Is this something no-restricted-paths should be able to do? If not should no-restricted-paths be extended to allow this, or is a new rule better?

No, because other packages aren't relative paths.

Perhaps the https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import/blob/main/docs/rules/no-internal-modules.md rule would help, and you'd use overrides to configure different sets of modules as "internal" for each group of packages?
