enforce a maximum line length (max-len)
Very long lines of code in any language can be difficult to read. In order to aid in readability and maintainability many coders have developed a convention to limit lines of code to X number of characters (traditionally 80 characters).
var foo = { "bar": "This is a bar.", "baz": { "qux": "This is a qux" }, "difficult": "to read" }; // very long
Rule Details
This rule enforces a maximum line length to increase code readability and maintainability. The length of a line is defined as the number of Unicode characters in the line.
Options
This rule has a number or object option:
-
"code"
(default80
) enforces a maximum line length -
"tabWidth"
(default4
) specifies the character width for tab characters -
"comments"
enforces a maximum line length for comments; defaults to value ofcode
-
"ignorePattern"
ignores lines matching a regular expression; can only match a single line and need to be double escaped when written in YAML or JSON -
"ignoreComments": true
ignores all trailing comments and comments on their own line -
"ignoreTrailingComments": true
ignores only trailing comments -
"ignoreUrls": true
ignores lines that contain a URL -
"ignoreStrings": true
ignores lines that contain a double-quoted or single-quoted string -
"ignoreTemplateLiterals": true
ignores lines that contain a template literal -
"ignoreRegExpLiterals": true
ignores lines that contain a RegExp literal

Disallow Unused Variables (no-unused-vars)
Variables that are declared and not used anywhere in the code are most likely an error due to incomplete refactoring. Such variables take up space in the code and can lead to confusion by readers.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at eliminating unused variables, functions, and parameters of functions.
A variable is considered to be used if any of the following are true:
- It represents a function that is called (
doSomething()
) - It is read (
var y = x
) - It is passed into a function as an argument (
doSomething(x)
) - It is read inside of a function that is passed to another function (
doSomething(function() { foo(); })
)
A variable is not considered to be used if it is only ever assigned to (var x = 5
) or declared.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: "error"*/
/*global some_unused_var*/
// It checks variables you have defined as global
some_unused_var = 42;
var x;
// Write-only variables are not considered as used.
var y = 10;
y = 5;
// A read for a modification of itself is not considered as used.
var z = 0;
z = z + 1;
// By default, unused arguments cause warnings.
(function(foo) {
return 5;
})();
// Unused recursive functions also cause warnings.
function fact(n) {
if (n < 2) return 1;
return n * fact(n - 1);
}
// When a function definition destructures an array, unused entries from the array also cause warnings.
function getY([x, y]) {
return y;
}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: "error"*/
var x = 10;
alert(x);
// foo is considered used here
myFunc(function foo() {
// ...
}.bind(this));
(function(foo) {
return foo;
})();
var myFunc;
myFunc = setTimeout(function() {
// myFunc is considered used
myFunc();
}, 50);
// Only the second argument from the descructured array is used.
function getY([, y]) {
return y;
}
exported
In environments outside of CommonJS or ECMAScript modules, you may use var
to create a global variable that may be used by other scripts. You can use the /* exported variableName */
comment block to indicate that this variable is being exported and therefore should not be considered unused.
Note that /* exported */
has no effect for any of the following:
- when the environment is
node
orcommonjs
- when
parserOptions.sourceType
ismodule
- when
ecmaFeatures.globalReturn
istrue
The line comment // exported variableName
will not work as exported
is not line-specific.
Examples of correct code for /* exported variableName */
operation:
/* exported global_var */
var global_var = 42;
Options
This rule takes one argument which can be a string or an object. The string settings are the same as those of the vars
property (explained below).
By default this rule is enabled with all
option for variables and after-used
for arguments.
{
"rules": {
"no-unused-vars": ["error", { "vars": "all", "args": "after-used", "ignoreRestSiblings": false }]
}
}
vars
The vars
option has two settings:
-
all
checks all variables for usage, including those in the global scope. This is the default setting. -
local
checks only that locally-declared variables are used but will allow global variables to be unused.
vars: local
Examples of correct code for the { "vars": "local" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "vars": "local" }]*/
/*global some_unused_var */
some_unused_var = 42;
varsIgnorePattern
The varsIgnorePattern
option specifies exceptions not to check for usage: variables whose names match a regexp pattern. For example, variables whose names contain ignored
or Ignored
.
Examples of correct code for the { "varsIgnorePattern": "[iI]gnored" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "varsIgnorePattern": "[iI]gnored" }]*/
var firstVarIgnored = 1;
var secondVar = 2;
console.log(secondVar);
args
The args
option has three settings:
-
after-used
- only the last argument must be used. This allows you, for instance, to have two named parameters to a function and as long as you use the second argument, ESLint will not warn you about the first. This is the default setting. -
all
- all named arguments must be used. -
none
- do not check arguments.
args: after-used
Examples of incorrect code for the default { "args": "after-used" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "args": "after-used" }]*/
// 1 error
// "baz" is defined but never used
(function(foo, bar, baz) {
return bar;
})();
Examples of correct code for the default { "args": "after-used" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", {"args": "after-used"}]*/
(function(foo, bar, baz) {
return baz;
})();
args: all
Examples of incorrect code for the { "args": "all" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "args": "all" }]*/
// 2 errors
// "foo" is defined but never used
// "baz" is defined but never used
(function(foo, bar, baz) {
return bar;
})();
args: none
Examples of correct code for the { "args": "none" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "args": "none" }]*/
(function(foo, bar, baz) {
return bar;
})();
ignoreRestSiblings
The ignoreRestSiblings
option is a boolean (default: false
). Using a Rest Property it is possible to "omit" properties from an object, but by default the sibling properties are marked as "unused". With this option enabled the rest property's siblings are ignored.
Examples of correct code for the { "ignoreRestSiblings": true }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "ignoreRestSiblings": true }]*/
// 'type' is ignored because it has a rest property sibling.
var { type, ...coords } = data;
argsIgnorePattern
The argsIgnorePattern
option specifies exceptions not to check for usage: arguments whose names match a regexp pattern. For example, variables whose names begin with an underscore.
Examples of correct code for the { "argsIgnorePattern": "^_" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "argsIgnorePattern": "^_" }]*/
function foo(x, _y) {
return x + 1;
}
foo();
caughtErrors
The caughtErrors
option is used for catch
block arguments validation.
It has two settings:
-
none
- do not check error objects. This is the default setting. -
all
- all named arguments must be used.
caughtErrors: none
Not specifying this rule is equivalent of assigning it to none
.
Examples of correct code for the { "caughtErrors": "none" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "caughtErrors": "none" }]*/
try {
//...
} catch (err) {
console.error("errors");
}
caughtErrors: all
Examples of incorrect code for the { "caughtErrors": "all" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "caughtErrors": "all" }]*/
// 1 error
// "err" is defined but never used
try {
//...
} catch (err) {
console.error("errors");
}
caughtErrorsIgnorePattern
The caughtErrorsIgnorePattern
option specifies exceptions not to check for usage: catch arguments whose names match a regexp pattern. For example, variables whose names begin with a string 'ignore'.
Examples of correct code for the { "caughtErrorsIgnorePattern": "^ignore" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "caughtErrorsIgnorePattern": "^ignore" }]*/
try {
//...
} catch (ignoreErr) {
console.error("errors");
}

Require Object Literal Shorthand Syntax (object-shorthand)
EcmaScript 6 provides a concise form for defining object literal methods and properties. This syntax can make defining complex object literals much cleaner.
Here are a few common examples using the ES5 syntax:
// properties
var foo = {
x: x,
y: y,
z: z,
};
// methods
var foo = {
a: function() {},
b: function() {}
};
Now here are ES6 equivalents:
/*eslint-env es6*/
// properties
var foo = {x, y, z};
// methods
var foo = {
a() {},
b() {}
};
Rule Details
This rule enforces the use of the shorthand syntax. This applies to all methods (including generators) defined in object literals and any properties defined where the key name matches name of the assigned variable.
Each of the following properties would warn:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
w: function() {},
x: function *() {},
[y]: function() {},
z: z
};
In that case the expected syntax would have been:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
w() {},
*x() {},
[y]() {},
z
};
This rule does not flag arrow functions inside of object literals. The following will not warn:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
x: (y) => y
};
Options
The rule takes an option which specifies when it should be applied. It can be set to one of the following values:
-
"always"
(default) expects that the shorthand will be used whenever possible. -
"methods"
ensures the method shorthand is used (also applies to generators). -
"properties"
ensures the property shorthand is used (where the key and variable name match). -
"never"
ensures that no property or method shorthand is used in any object literal. -
"consistent"
ensures that either all shorthand or all longform will be used in an object literal. -
"consistent-as-needed"
ensures that either all shorthand or all longform will be used in an object literal, but ensures all shorthand whenever possible.
You can set the option in configuration like this:
{
"object-shorthand": ["error", "always"]
}
Additionally, the rule takes an optional object configuration:
-
"avoidQuotes": true
indicates that longform syntax is preferred whenever the object key is a string literal (default:false
). Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
,"methods"
, or"properties"
. -
"ignoreConstructors": true
can be used to prevent the rule from reporting errors for constructor functions. (By default, the rule treats constructors the same way as other functions.) Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
or"methods"
. -
"avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true
indicates that methods are preferred over explicit-return arrow functions for function properties. (By default, the rule allows either of these.) Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
or"methods"
.
avoidQuotes
{
"object-shorthand": ["error", "always", { "avoidQuotes": true }]
}
Example of incorrect code for this rule with the "always", { "avoidQuotes": true }
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: ["error", "always", { "avoidQuotes": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
"bar-baz"() {}
};
Example of correct code for this rule with the "always", { "avoidQuotes": true }
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: ["error", "always", { "avoidQuotes": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
"bar-baz": function() {},
"qux": qux
};
ignoreConstructors
{
"object-shorthand": ["error", "always", { "ignoreConstructors": true }]
}
Example of correct code for this rule with the "always", { "ignoreConstructors": true }
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: ["error", "always", { "ignoreConstructors": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
ConstructorFunction: function() {}
};
avoidExplicitReturnArrows
{
"object-shorthand": ["error", "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }]
}
Example of incorrect code for this rule with the "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: ["error", "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
foo: (bar, baz) => {
return bar + baz;
},
qux: (foobar) => {
return foobar * 2;
}
};
Example of correct code for this rule with the "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: ["error", "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
foo(bar, baz) {
return bar + baz;
},
qux: foobar => foobar * 2
};
Example of incorrect code for this rule with the "consistent"
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a,
b: "foo",
};
Examples of correct code for this rule with the "consistent"
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a: a,
b: "foo"
};
var bar = {
a,
b,
};
Example of incorrect code with the "consistent-as-needed"
option, which is very similar to "consistent"
:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent-as-needed"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a: a,
b: b,
};
When Not To Use It
Anyone not yet in an ES6 environment would not want to apply this rule. Others may find the terseness of the shorthand syntax harder to read and may not want to encourage it with this rule.

Suggest using arrow functions as callbacks. (prefer-arrow-callback)
Arrow functions are suited to callbacks, because:
-
this
keywords in arrow functions bind to the upper scope's. - The notation of the arrow function is shorter than function expression's.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed to flag usage of function expressions in an argument list.
The following patterns are considered problems:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: "error"*/
foo(function(a) { return a; });
foo(function() { return this.a; }.bind(this));
The following patterns are not considered problems:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
foo(a => a);
foo(function*() { yield; });
// this is not a callback.
var foo = function foo(a) { return a; };
// using `this` without `.bind(this)`.
foo(function() { return this.a; });
// recursively.
foo(function bar(n) { return n && n + bar(n - 1); });
Options
This rule takes one optional argument, an object which is an options object.
allowNamedFunctions
This is a boolean
option and it is false
by default. When set to true
, the rule doesn't warn on named functions used as callbacks.
Examples of correct code for the { "allowNamedFunctions": true }
option:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: ["error", { "allowNamedFunctions": true }]*/
foo(function bar() {});
allowUnboundThis
This is a boolean

, this option allows the use of this
without restriction and checks for dynamically assigned this
values such as when using Array.prototype.map
with a context
argument. Normally, the rule will flag the use of this
whenever a function does not use bind()
to specify the value of this
constantly.

When Not To Use It
This rule should not be used in ES3/5 environments.

Suggest using arrow functions as callbacks. (prefer-arrow-callback)
Arrow functions are suited to callbacks, because:
-
this
keywords in arrow functions bind to the upper scope's. - The notation of the arrow function is shorter than function expression's.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed to flag usage of function expressions in an argument list.
The following patterns are considered problems:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: "error"*/
foo(function(a) { return a; });
foo(function() { return this.a; }.bind(this));
The following patterns are not considered problems:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
foo(a => a);
foo(function*() { yield; });
// this is not a callback.
var foo = function foo(a) { return a; };
// using `this` without `.bind(this)`.
foo(function() { return this.a; });
// recursively.
foo(function bar(n) { return n && n + bar(n - 1); });
Options
This rule takes one optional argument, an object which is an options object.
allowNamedFunctions
This is a boolean
option and it is false
by default. When set to true
, the rule doesn't warn on named functions used as callbacks.
Examples of correct code for the { "allowNamedFunctions": true }
option:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: ["error", { "allowNamedFunctions": true }]*/
foo(function bar() {});
allowUnboundThis
This is a boolean
option and it is true
by default. When set to false
, this option allows the use of this
without restriction and checks for dynamically assigned this
values such as when using Array.prototype.map
with a context
argument. Normally, the rule will flag the use of this
whenever a function does not use bind()

require JSDoc comments (require-jsdoc)
JSDoc is a JavaScript API documentation generator. It uses specially-formatted comments inside of code to generate API documentation automatically. For example, this is what a JSDoc comment looks like for a function:
/**
* Adds two numbers together.
* @param {int} num1 The first number.
* @param {int} num2 The second number.
* @returns {int} The sum of the two numbers.
*/
function sum(num1, num2) {
return num1 + num2;
}
Some style guides require JSDoc comments for all functions as a way of explaining function behavior.
Rule Details
This rule requires JSDoc comments for specified nodes. Supported nodes:
"FunctionDeclaration"

Rule Details
This rule is aimed to flag usage of function expressions in an argument list.
The following patterns are considered problems:

foo(function() { return this.a; }.bind(this));
The following patterns are not considered problems:

// using `this` without `.bind(this)`.

Options
This rule takes one optional argument, an object which is an options object.

This is a boolean
option and it is true
by default. When set to false
, this option allows the use of this
without restriction and checks for dynamically assigned this

argument. Normally, the rule will flag the use of this
whenever a function does not use bind()

Require Object Literal Shorthand Syntax (object-shorthand)
EcmaScript 6 provides a concise form for defining object literal methods and properties. This syntax can make defining complex object literals much cleaner.
Here are a few common examples using the ES5 syntax:
// properties
var foo = {
x: x,
y: y,
z: z,
};
// methods
var foo = {
a: function() {},
b: function() {}
};
Now here are ES6 equivalents:
/*eslint-env es6*/
// properties
var foo = {x, y, z};
// methods
var foo = {
a() {},
b() {}
};
Rule Details
This rule enforces the use of the shorthand syntax. This applies to all methods (including generators) defined in object literals and any properties defined where the key name matches name of the assigned variable.
Each of the following properties would warn:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
w: function() {},
x: function *() {},
[y]: function() {},
z: z
};
In that case the expected syntax would have been:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
w() {},
*x() {},
[y]() {},
z
};
This rule does not flag arrow functions inside of object literals. The following will not warn:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
x: (y) => y
};
Options
The rule takes an option which specifies when it should be applied. It can be set to one of the following values:
-
"always"
(default) expects that the shorthand will be used whenever possible. -
"methods"
ensures the method shorthand is used (also applies to generators). -
"properties"
ensures the property shorthand is used (where the key and variable name match). -
"never"
ensures that no property or method shorthand is used in any object literal. -
"consistent"
ensures that either all shorthand or all longform will be used in an object literal. -
"consistent-as-needed"
ensures that either all shorthand or all longform will be used in an object literal, but ensures all shorthand whenever possible.
You can set the option in configuration like this:
{
"object-shorthand": ["error", "always"]
}
Additionally, the rule takes an optional object configuration:
-
"avoidQuotes": true
indicates that longform syntax is preferred whenever the object key is a string literal (default:false
). Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
,"methods"
, or"properties"
. -
"ignoreConstructors": true
can be used to prevent the rule from reporting errors for constructor functions. (By default, the rule treats constructors the same way as other functions.) Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
or"methods"
. -
"avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true
indicates that methods are preferred over explicit-return arrow functions for function properties. (By default, the rule allows either of these.) Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
or"methods"
.

"object-shorthand": ["error", "always", { "avoidQuotes": true }]

/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
foo: (bar, baz) => {
return bar + baz;
},
qux: (foobar) => {
return foobar * 2;
}
};
Example of correct code for this rule with the "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: ["error", "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
foo(bar, baz) {
return bar + baz;
},
qux: foobar => foobar * 2
};
Example of incorrect code for this rule with the "consistent"
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a,
b: "foo",
};
Examples of correct code for this rule with the "consistent"
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a: a,
b: "foo"
};
var bar = {
a,
b,
};
Example of incorrect code with the "consistent-as-needed"
option, which is very similar to "consistent"
:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent-as-needed"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a: a,
b: b,
};
When Not To Use It
Anyone not yet in an ES6 environment would not want to apply this rule. Others may find the terseness of the shorthand syntax harder to read and may not want to encourage it with this rule.

Rule Details
This rule is aimed to flag usage of function expressions in an argument list.
The following patterns are considered problems:

Options
This rule takes one optional argument, an object which is an options object.

This is a boolean
option and it is false

allowUnboundThis
This is a boolean
option and it is true
by default. When set to false
, this option allows the use of this
without restriction and checks for dynamically assigned this
values such as when using Array.prototype.map
with a context
argument. Normally, the rule will flag the use of this
whenever a function does not use bind()
to specify the value of this
constantly.

Require Object Literal Shorthand Syntax (object-shorthand)
EcmaScript 6 provides a concise form for defining object literal methods and properties. This syntax can make defining complex object literals much cleaner.
Here are a few common examples using the ES5 syntax:
// properties
var foo = {
x: x,
y: y,
z: z,
};
// methods
var foo = {
a: function() {},
b: function() {}
};
Now here are ES6 equivalents:
/*eslint-env es6*/
// properties
var foo = {x, y, z};
// methods
var foo = {
a() {},
b() {}
};
Rule Details
This rule enforces the use of the shorthand syntax. This applies to all methods (including generators) defined in object literals and any properties defined where the key name matches name of the assigned variable.
Each of the following properties would warn:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
w: function() {},
x: function *() {},
[y]: function() {},
z: z
};
In that case the expected syntax would have been:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
w() {},
*x() {},
[y]() {},
z
};
This rule does not flag arrow functions inside of object literals. The following will not warn:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
x: (y) => y
};
Options
The rule takes an option which specifies when it should be applied. It can be set to one of the following values:
-
"always"
(default) expects that the shorthand will be used whenever possible. -
"methods"
ensures the method shorthand is used (also applies to generators). -
"properties"
ensures the property shorthand is used (where the key and variable name match). -
"never"
ensures that no property or method shorthand is used in any object literal. -
"consistent"
ensures that either all shorthand or all longform will be used in an object literal. -
"consistent-as-needed"
ensures that either all shorthand or all longform will be used in an object literal, but ensures all shorthand whenever possible.
You can set the option in configuration like this:
{
"object-shorthand": ["error", "always"]
}
Additionally, the rule takes an optional object configuration:
-
"avoidQuotes": true
indicates that longform syntax is preferred whenever the object key is a string literal (default:false
). Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
,"methods"
, or"properties"
. -
"ignoreConstructors": true
can be used to prevent the rule from reporting errors for constructor functions. (By default, the rule treats constructors the same way as other functions.) Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
or"methods"
. -
"avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true
indicates that methods are preferred over explicit-return arrow functions for function properties. (By default, the rule allows either of these.) Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
or"methods"
.

foo(bar, baz) {
return bar + baz;
},
qux: foobar => foobar * 2
};
Example of incorrect code for this rule with the "consistent"
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a,

};
Examples of correct code for this rule with the "consistent"
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent"]*/

var foo = {
a: a,
b: "foo"
};
var bar = {
a,
b,
};
Example of incorrect code with the "consistent-as-needed"
option, which is very similar to "consistent"
:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent-as-needed"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a: a,
b: b,
};
When Not To Use It
Anyone not yet in an ES6 environment would not want to apply this rule. Others may find the terseness of the shorthand syntax harder to read and may not want to encourage it with this rule.

enforce consistent spacing inside braces (object-curly-spacing)
While formatting preferences are very personal, a number of style guides require or disallow spaces between curly braces in the following situations:
// simple object literals
var obj = { foo: "bar" };
// nested object literals
var obj = { foo: { zoo: "bar" } };
// destructuring assignment (EcmaScript 6)
var { x, y } = y;

require JSDoc comments (require-jsdoc)
JSDoc is a JavaScript API documentation generator. It uses specially-formatted comments inside of code to generate API documentation automatically. For example, this is what a JSDoc comment looks like for a function:
/**
* Adds two numbers together.
* @param {int} num1 The first number.
* @param {int} num2 The second number.
* @returns {int} The sum of the two numbers.
*/
function sum(num1, num2) {

Some style guides require JSDoc comments for all functions as a way of explaining function behavior.

enforce consistent spacing inside braces (object-curly-spacing)
While formatting preferences are very personal, a number of style guides require or disallow spaces between curly braces in the following situations:
// simple object literals
var obj = { foo: "bar" };
// nested object literals
var obj = { foo: { zoo: "bar" } };
// destructuring assignment (EcmaScript 6)
var { x, y } = y;
// import/export declarations (EcmaScript 6)
import { foo } from "bar";
export { foo };

Require Object Literal Shorthand Syntax (object-shorthand)
EcmaScript 6 provides a concise form for defining object literal methods and properties. This syntax can make defining complex object literals much cleaner.
Here are a few common examples using the ES5 syntax:
// properties
var foo = {
x: x,
y: y,
z: z,
};
// methods
var foo = {
a: function() {},
b: function() {}
};
Now here are ES6 equivalents:
/*eslint-env es6*/
// properties
var foo = {x, y, z};
// methods
var foo = {
a() {},
b() {}
};
Rule Details
This rule enforces the use of the shorthand syntax. This applies to all methods (including generators) defined in object literals and any properties defined where the key name matches name of the assigned variable.
Each of the following properties would warn:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
w: function() {},
x: function *() {},
[y]: function() {},
z: z
};
In that case the expected syntax would have been:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
w() {},
*x() {},
[y]() {},
z
};
This rule does not flag arrow functions inside of object literals. The following will not warn:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
x: (y) => y
};
Options
The rule takes an option which specifies when it should be applied. It can be set to one of the following values:
-
"always"
(default) expects that the shorthand will be used whenever possible. -
"methods"
ensures the method shorthand is used (also applies to generators). -
"properties"
ensures the property shorthand is used (where the key and variable name match). -
"never"
ensures that no property or method shorthand is used in any object literal. -
"consistent"
ensures that either all shorthand or all longform will be used in an object literal. -
"consistent-as-needed"
ensures that either all shorthand or all longform will be used in an object literal, but ensures all shorthand whenever possible.
You can set the option in configuration like this:
{
"object-shorthand": ["error", "always"]
}
Additionally, the rule takes an optional object configuration:
-
"avoidQuotes": true
indicates that longform syntax is preferred whenever the object key is a string literal (default:false
). Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
,"methods"
, or"properties"
. -
"ignoreConstructors": true
can be used to prevent the rule from reporting errors for constructor functions. (By default, the rule treats constructors the same way as other functions.) Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
or"methods"
. -
"avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true
indicates that methods are preferred over explicit-return arrow functions for function properties. (By default, the rule allows either of these.) Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
or"methods"
.

"object-shorthand": ["error", "always", { "avoidQuotes": true }]
}
Example of incorrect code for this rule with the "always", { "avoidQuotes": true }

};

"object-shorthand": ["error", "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }]
}
Example of incorrect code for this rule with the "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: ["error", "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
foo: (bar, baz) => {
return bar + baz;
},
qux: (foobar) => {
return foobar * 2;
}
};
Example of correct code for this rule with the "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: ["error", "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
foo(bar, baz) {
return bar + baz;
},
qux: foobar => foobar * 2
};
Example of incorrect code for this rule with the "consistent"
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a,
b: "foo",
};
Examples of correct code for this rule with the "consistent"
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a: a,
b: "foo"
};
var bar = {
a,
b,
};
Example of incorrect code with the "consistent-as-needed"
option, which is very similar to "consistent"
:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent-as-needed"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a: a,
b: b,
};
When Not To Use It
Anyone not yet in an ES6 environment would not want to apply this rule. Others may find the terseness of the shorthand syntax harder to read and may not want to encourage it with this rule.

require or disallow semicolons instead of ASI (semi)
JavaScript is unique amongst the C-like languages in that it doesn't require semicolons at the end of each statement. In many cases, the JavaScript engine can determine that a semicolon should be in a certain spot and will automatically add it. This feature is known as automatic semicolon insertion (ASI) and is considered one of the more controversial features of JavaScript. For example, the following lines are both valid:
var name = "ESLint"
var website = "eslint.org";
On the first line, the JavaScript engine will automatically insert a semicolon, so this is not considered a syntax error. The JavaScript engine still knows how to interpret the line and knows that the line end indicates the end of the statement.
In the debate over ASI, there are generally two schools of thought. The first is that we should treat ASI as if it didn't exist and always include semicolons manually. The rationale is that it's easier to always include semicolons than to try to remember when they are or are not required, and thus decreases the possibility of introducing an error.
However, the ASI mechanism can sometimes be tricky to people who are using semicolons. For example, consider this code:
return
{
name: "ESLint"
};
This may look like a return
statement that returns an object literal, however, the JavaScript engine will interpret this code as:
return;
{
name: "ESLint";
}
Effectively, a semicolon is inserted after the return
statement, causing the code below it (a labeled literal inside a block) to be unreachable. This rule and the [no-unreachable](no-unreachable.md) rule will protect your code from such cases.
On the other side of the argument are those who says that since semicolons are inserted automatically, they are optional and do not need to be inserted manually. However, the ASI mechanism can also be tricky to people who don't use semicolons. For example, consider this code:
var globalCounter = { }
(function () {
var n = 0
globalCounter.increment = function () {
return ++n
}
})()
In this example, a semicolon will not be inserted after the first line, causing a run-time error (because an empty object is called as if it's a function). The [no-unexpected-multiline](no-unexpected-multiline.md) rule can protect your code from such cases.
Although ASI allows for more freedom over your coding style, it can also make your code behave in an unexpected way, whether you use semicolons or not. Therefore, it is best to know when ASI takes place and when it does not, and have ESLint protect your code from these potentially unexpected cases. In short, as once described by Isaac Schlueter, a \n
character always ends a statement (just like a semicolon) unless one of the following is true:
- The statement has an unclosed paren, array literal, or object literal or ends in some other way that is not a valid way to end a statement. (For instance, ending with
.
or,
.) - The line is
--
or++
(in which case it will decrement/increment the next token.) - It is a
for()
,while()
,do
,if()
, orelse
, and there is no{
- The next line starts with
[
,(
,+
,*
,/
,-
,,
,.
, or some other binary operator that can only be found between two tokens in a single expression.
Rule Details
This rule enforces consistent use of semicolons.
Options
This rule has two options, a string option and an object option.
String option:
-
"always"
(default) requires semicolons at the end of statements -
"never"
disallows semicolons as the end of statements (except to disambiguate statements beginning with[
,(
,/
,+
, or-
)
Object option:
-
"omitLastInOneLineBlock": true
ignores the last semicolon in a block in which its braces (and therefore the content of the block) are in the same line
always

option:
/*eslint semi: ["error", "always"]*/
var name = "ESLint"
object.method = function() {
// ...
}

;(function() {
// ...
})()
omitLastInOneLineBlock
Examples of additional correct code for this rule with the "always", { "omitLastInOneLineBlock": true }
options:
/*eslint semi: ["error", "always", { "omitLastInOneLineBlock": true}] */
if (foo) { bar() }
if (foo) { bar(); baz() }
When Not To Use It
If you do not want to enforce semicolon usage (or omission) in any particular way, then you can turn this rule off.
