disallow ternary operators when simpler alternatives exist (no-unneeded-ternary)

It's a common mistake in JavaScript to use a conditional expression to select between two Boolean values instead of using ! to convert the test to a Boolean. Here are some examples:

// Bad
var isYes = answer === 1 ? true : false;

// Good
var isYes = answer === 1;


// Bad
var isNo = answer === 1 ? false : true;

// Good
var isNo = answer !== 1;

Another common mistake is using a single variable as both the conditional test and the consequent. In such cases, the logical OR can be used to provide the same functionality. Here is an example:

// Bad
foo(bar ? bar : 1);

// Good
foo(bar || 1);

Rule Details

This rule disallow ternary operators when simpler alternatives exist.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/*eslint no-unneeded-ternary: "error"*/

var a = x === 2 ? true : false;

var a = x ? true : false;

var a = f(x ? x : 1);

Examples of correct code for this rule:

/*eslint no-unneeded-ternary: "error"*/

var a = x === 2 ? "Yes" : "No";

var a = x !== false;

var a = x ? "Yes" : "No";

var a = x ? y : x;

var a = x ? x : 1;  // Note that this is only allowed as it on the right hand side of an assignment; this type of ternary is disallowed everywhere else. See defaultAssignment option below for more details.

Options

This rule has an object option:

• "defaultAssignment": true (default) allows the conditional expression as a default assignment pattern
• "defaultAssignment": false disallows the conditional expression as a default assignment pattern

defaultAssignment

The defaultAssignment option allows expressions of the form x ? x : expr (where x is any identifier and expr is any expression) as the right hand side of assignments (but nowhere else).

Examples of additional incorrect code for this rule with the { "defaultAssignment": false } option:

/*eslint no-unneeded-ternary: ["error", { "defaultAssignment": false }]*/

var a = x ? x : 1;

When Not To Use It

You can turn this rule off if you are not concerned with unnecessary complexity in conditional expressions.

Require CamelCase (camelcase)

When it comes to naming variables, style guides generally fall into one of two camps: camelcase (variableName) and underscores (variable_name). This rule focuses on using the camelcase approach. If your style guide calls for camelCasing your variable names, then this rule is for you!

Rule Details

This rule looks for any underscores (_) located within the source code. It ignores leading and trailing underscores and only checks those in the middle of a variable name. If ESLint decides that the variable is a constant (all uppercase), then no warning will be thrown. Otherwise, a warning will be thrown. This rule only flags definitions and assignments but not function calls. In case of ES6 import statements, this rule only targets the name of the variable that will be imported into the local module scope.

Options

This rule has an object option:

• "properties": "always" (default) enforces camelcase style for property names
• "properties": "never" does not check property names
• "ignoreDestructuring": false (default) enforces camelcase style for destructured identifiers
• "ignoreDestructuring": true does not check destructured identifiers
• allow (string[]) list of properties to accept. Accept regex.

properties: "always"

Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default { "properties": "always" } option:

/*eslint camelcase: "error"*/

import { no_camelcased } from "external-module"

var my_favorite_color = "#112C85";

function foo({ no_camelcased = 'default value' }) {
    // ...

var obj = {
    my_pref: 1
};

var { category_id = 1 } = query;

var { foo: no_camelcased } = bar;

var { foo: bar_baz = 1 } = quz;

Examples of correct code for this rule with the default { "properties": "always" } option:

/*eslint camelcase: "error"*/

import { no_camelcased as camelCased } from "external-module";

var { foo: isCamelCased } = bar;

var { foo: isCamelCased = 1 } = quz;

/*eslint camelcase: ["error", {properties: "never"}]*/

var obj = {
    my_pref: 1

Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default { "ignoreDestructuring": false } option:

/*eslint camelcase: "error"*/

var { category_id } = query;

var { category_id = 1 } = query;

var { category_id: category_id } = query;

var { category_id: category_alias } = query;

var { category_id: categoryId, ...other_props } = query;

ignoreDestructuring: true

Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the { "ignoreDestructuring": true } option:

/*eslint camelcase: ["error", {ignoreDestructuring: true}]*/

var { category_id: category_alias } = query;

var { category_id, ...other_props } = query;

Examples of correct code for this rule with the { "ignoreDestructuring": true } option:

/*eslint camelcase: ["error", {ignoreDestructuring: true}]*/

var { category_id } = query;

var { category_id = 1 } = query;

var { category_id: category_id } = query;

allow

Examples of correct code for this rule with the allow option:

/*eslint camelcase: ["error", {allow: ["UNSAFE_componentWillMount"]}]*/

function UNSAFE_componentWillMount() {
    // ...

require spacing around infix operators (space-infix-ops)

While formatting preferences are very personal, a number of style guides require spaces around operators, such as:

var sum = 1 + 2;

The proponents of these extra spaces believe it make the code easier to read and can more easily highlight potential errors, such as:

var sum = i+++2;

While this is valid JavaScript syntax, it is hard to determine what the author intended.

Rule Details

This rule is aimed at ensuring there are spaces around infix operators.

Options

This rule accepts a single options argument with the following defaults:

"space-infix-ops": ["error", {"int32Hint": false}]

int32Hint

Set the int32Hint option to true (default is false) to allow write a|0 without space.

var foo = bar|0; // `foo` is forced to be signed 32 bit integer

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/*eslint space-infix-ops: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/

a+b

a+ b

a +b

a?b:c

const a={b:1};

var {a=0}=bar;

function foo(a=0) { }

Examples of correct code for this rule:

/*eslint space-infix-ops: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/

a + b

a       + b

a ? b : c

const a = {b:1};

var {a = 0} = bar;

function foo(a = 0) { }

When Not To Use It

You can turn this rule off if you are not concerned with the consistency of spacing around infix operators. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/
