Disallow unnecessary concatenation of strings (no-useless-concat)

It's unnecessary to concatenate two strings together, such as:

var foo = "a" + "b";

This code is likely the result of refactoring where a variable was removed from the concatenation (such as "a" + b + "b"). In such a case, the concatenation isn't important and the code can be rewritten as:

var foo = "ab";

Rule Details

This rule aims to flag the concatenation of 2 literals when they could be combined into a single literal. Literals can be strings or template literals.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/*eslint no-useless-concat: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/

// these are the same as "10"
var a = `some` + `string`;
var a = '1' + '0';
var a = '1' + `0`;
var a = `1` + '0';
var a = `1` + `0`;

Examples of correct code for this rule:

/*eslint no-useless-concat: "error"*/

// when a non string is included
var c = a + b;
var c = '1' + a;
var a = 1 + '1';
var c = 1 - 2;
// when the string concatenation is multiline
var c = "foo" +
    "bar";

When Not To Use It

If you don't want to be notified about unnecessary string concatenation, you can safely disable this rule. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/

This cop checks whether the end keywords of method definitions are aligned properly.

Two modes are supported through the EnforcedStyleAlignWith configuration parameter. If it's set to start_of_line (which is the default), the end shall be aligned with the start of the line where the def keyword is. If it's set to def, the end shall be aligned with the def keyword.

Example: EnforcedStyleAlignWith: startofline (default)

# bad

private def foo
            end

# good

private def foo
end

Example: EnforcedStyleAlignWith: def

# bad

private def foo
            end

# good

private def foo
        end

This cop checks for assignments in the conditions of if/while/until.

Example:

# bad

if some_var = true
  do_something
end

Example:

# good

if some_var == true
  do_something
end
