Cognitive Complexity

Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how difficult a unit of code is to intuitively understand. Unlike Cyclomatic Complexity, which determines how difficult your code will be to test, Cognitive Complexity tells you how difficult your code will be to read and comprehend.

A method's cognitive complexity is based on a few simple rules:

• Code is not considered more complex when it uses shorthand that the language provides for collapsing multiple statements into one
• Code is considered more complex for each "break in the linear flow of the code"
• Code is considered more complex when "flow breaking structures are nested"

Require === and !== (eqeqeq)

It is considered good practice to use the type-safe equality operators === and !== instead of their regular counterparts == and !=.

The reason for this is that == and != do type coercion which follows the rather obscure Abstract Equality Comparison Algorithm. For instance, the following statements are all considered true:

• [] == false
• [] == ![]
• 3 == "03"

If one of those occurs in an innocent-looking statement such as a == b the actual problem is very difficult to spot.

Rule Details

This rule is aimed at eliminating the type-unsafe equality operators.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/*eslint eqeqeq: "error"*/

if (x == 42) { }

if ("" == text) { }

if (obj.getStuff() != undefined) { }

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes some problems reported by this rule. A problem is only fixed if one of the operands is a typeof expression, or if both operands are literals with the same type.

Options

always

The "always" option (default) enforces the use of === and !== in every situation (except when you opt-in to more specific handling of null [see below]).

Examples of incorrect code for the "always" option:

/*eslint eqeqeq: ["error", "always"]*/

a == b
foo == true
bananas != 1
value == undefined
typeof foo == 'undefined'
'hello' != 'world'
0 == 0
true == true
foo == null

Examples of correct code for the "always" option:

/*eslint eqeqeq: ["error", "always"]*/

a === b
foo === true
bananas !== 1
value === undefined
typeof foo === 'undefined'
'hello' !== 'world'
0 === 0
true === true
foo === null

This rule optionally takes a second argument, which should be an object with the following supported properties:

• "null": Customize how this rule treats null literals. Possible values:
  • always (default) - Always use === or !==.
  • never - Never use === or !== with null.
  • ignore - Do not apply this rule to null.

smart

The "smart" option enforces the use of === and !== except for these cases:

• Comparing two literal values
• Evaluating the value of typeof
• Comparing against null

Examples of incorrect code for the "smart" option:

/*eslint eqeqeq: ["error", "smart"]*/

// comparing two variables requires ===
a == b

// only one side is a literal
foo == true
bananas != 1

// comparing to undefined requires ===
value == undefined

Examples of correct code for the "smart" option:

/*eslint eqeqeq: ["error", "smart"]*/

typeof foo == 'undefined'
'hello' != 'world'
0 == 0
true == true
foo == null

allow-null

Deprecated: Instead of using this option use "always" and pass a "null" option property with value "ignore". This will tell eslint to always enforce strict equality except when comparing with the null literal.

["error", "always", {"null": "ignore"}]

When Not To Use It

If you don't want to enforce a style for using equality operators, then it's safe to disable this rule. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/

Disallow the type conversion with shorter notations. (no-implicit-coercion)

In JavaScript, there are a lot of different ways to convert value types. Some of them might be hard to read and understand.

Such as:

var b = !!foo;
var b = ~foo.indexOf(".");
var n = +foo;
var n = 1 * foo;
var s = "" + foo;
foo += ``;

Those can be replaced with the following code:

var b = Boolean(foo);
var b = foo.indexOf(".") !== -1;
var n = Number(foo);
var n = Number(foo);
var s = String(foo);
foo = String(foo);

Rule Details

This rule is aimed to flag shorter notations for the type conversion, then suggest a more self-explanatory notation.

Options

This rule has three main options and one override option to allow some coercions as required.

• "boolean" (true by default) - When this is true, this rule warns shorter type conversions for boolean type.
• "number" (true by default) - When this is true, this rule warns shorter type conversions for number type.
• "string" (true by default) - When this is true, this rule warns shorter type conversions for string type.
• "allow" (empty by default) - Each entry in this array can be one of ~, !!, + or * that are to be allowed.

Note that operator + in allow list would allow +foo (number coercion) as well as "" + foo (string coercion).

boolean

Examples of incorrect code for the default { "boolean": true } option:

/*eslint no-implicit-coercion: "error"*/

var b = !!foo;
var b = ~foo.indexOf(".");
// bitwise not is incorrect only with `indexOf`/`lastIndexOf` method calling.

Examples of correct code for the default { "boolean": true } option:

/*eslint no-implicit-coercion: "error"*/

var b = Boolean(foo);
var b = foo.indexOf(".") !== -1;

var n = ~foo; // This is a just bitwise not.

number

Examples of incorrect code for the default { "number": true } option:

/*eslint no-implicit-coercion: "error"*/

var n = +foo;
var n = 1 * foo;

Examples of correct code for the default { "number": true } option:

/*eslint no-implicit-coercion: "error"*/

var n = Number(foo);
var n = parseFloat(foo);
var n = parseInt(foo, 10);

string

Examples of incorrect code for the default { "string": true } option:

/*eslint no-implicit-coercion: "error"*/

var s = "" + foo;
var s = `` + foo;
foo += "";
foo += ``;

Examples of correct code for the default { "string": true } option:

/*eslint no-implicit-coercion: "error"*/

var s = String(foo);
foo = String(foo);

allow

Using allow list, we can override and allow specific operators.

Examples of correct code for the sample { "allow": ["!!", "~"] } option:

/*eslint no-implicit-coercion: [2, { "allow": ["!!", "~"] } ]*/

var b = !!foo;
var b = ~foo.indexOf(".");

When Not To Use It

If you don't want to be notified about shorter notations for the type conversion, you can safely disable this rule. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/

disallow unnecessary boolean casts (no-extra-boolean-cast)

In contexts such as an if statement's test where the result of the expression will already be coerced to a Boolean, casting to a Boolean via double negation (!!) or a Boolean call is unnecessary. For example, these if statements are equivalent:

if (!!foo) {
    // ...
}

if (Boolean(foo)) {
    // ...
}

if (foo) {
    // ...
}

Rule Details

This rule disallows unnecessary boolean casts.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/*eslint no-extra-boolean-cast: "error"*/

var foo = !!!bar;

var foo = !!bar ? baz : bat;

var foo = Boolean(!!bar);

var foo = new Boolean(!!bar);

if (!!foo) {
    // ...
}

if (Boolean(foo)) {
    // ...
}

while (!!foo) {
    // ...
}

do {
    // ...
} while (Boolean(foo));

for (; !!foo; ) {
    // ...
}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

/*eslint no-extra-boolean-cast: "error"*/

var foo = !!bar;
var foo = Boolean(bar);

function foo() {
    return !!bar;
}

var foo = bar ? !!baz : !!bat;

Disallow return before else (no-else-return)

If an if block contains a return statement, the else block becomes unnecessary. Its contents can be placed outside of the block.

        return y;
    } else {
        return z;
