disallow dangling underscores in identifiers (no-underscore-dangle)

As far as naming conventions for identifiers go, dangling underscores may be the most polarizing in JavaScript. Dangling underscores are underscores at either the beginning or end of an identifier, such as:

var _foo;

There is actually a long history of using dangling underscores to indicate "private" members of objects in JavaScript (though JavaScript doesn't have truly private members, this convention served as a warning). This began with SpiderMonkey adding nonstandard methods such as __defineGetter__(). The intent with the underscores was to make it obvious that this method was special in some way. Since that time, using a single underscore prefix has become popular as a way to indicate "private" members of objects.

Whether or not you choose to allow dangling underscores in identifiers is purely a convention and has no effect on performance, readability, or complexity. It's purely a preference.

Rule Details

This rule disallows dangling underscores in identifiers.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/*eslint no-underscore-dangle: "error"*/

Enforce that class methods utilize this (class-methods-use-this)

If a class method does not use this, it can safely be made a static function.

It's possible to have a class method which doesn't use this, such as:

class A {
    constructor() {
        this.a = "hi";
    }

    print() {
        console.log(this.a);
    }

    sayHi() {
        console.log("hi");
    }
}

let a = new A();
a.sayHi(); // => "hi"

In the example above, the sayHi method doesn't use this, so we can make it a static method:

class A {
    constructor() {
        this.a = "hi";
    }

    print() {
        console.log(this.a);
    }

    static sayHi() {
        console.log("hi");
    }
}

A.sayHi(); // => "hi"

Also note in the above examples that the code calling the function on an instance of the class (let a = new A(); a.sayHi();) changes to calling it on the class itself (A.sayHi();).

Rule Details

This rule is aimed to flag class methods that do not use this.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/*eslint class-methods-use-this: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/

class A {
    foo() {

disallow certain object properties (no-restricted-properties)

Certain properties on objects may be disallowed in a codebase. This is useful for deprecating an API or restricting usage of a module's methods. For example, you may want to disallow using describe.only when using Mocha or telling people to use Object.assign instead of _.extend.

Rule Details

This rule looks for accessing a given property key on a given object name, either when reading the property's value or invoking it as a function. You may specify an optional message to indicate an alternative API or a reason for the restriction.

Options

This rule takes a list of objects, where the object name and property names are specified:

{
    "rules": {
        "no-restricted-properties": [2, {
            "object": "disallowedObjectName",
            "property": "disallowedPropertyName"
        }]
    }
}

Multiple object/property values can be disallowed, and you can specify an optional message:

{
    "rules": {
        "no-restricted-properties": [2, {
            "object": "disallowedObjectName",
            "property": "disallowedPropertyName"
        }, {
            "object": "disallowedObjectName",
            "property": "anotherDisallowedPropertyName",
            "message": "Please use allowedObjectName.allowedPropertyName."
        }]
    }
}

If the object name is omitted, the property is disallowed for all objects:

{
    "rules": {
        "no-restricted-properties": [2, {
            "property": "__defineGetter__",
            "message": "Please use Object.defineProperty instead."
        }]
    }
}

If the property name is omitted, accessing any property of the given object is disallowed:

{
    "rules": {
        "no-restricted-properties": [2, {
            "object": "require",
            "message": "Please call require() directly."
        }]
    }
}

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/* eslint no-restricted-properties: [2, {
    "object": "disallowedObjectName",
    "property": "disallowedPropertyName"
}] */

var example = disallowedObjectName.disallowedPropertyName; /*error Disallowed object property: disallowedObjectName.disallowedPropertyName.*/

disallowedObjectName.disallowedPropertyName(); /*error Disallowed object property: disallowedObjectName.disallowedPropertyName.*/

/* eslint no-restricted-properties: [2, {
    "property": "__defineGetter__"
}] */

foo.__defineGetter__(bar, baz);

/* eslint no-restricted-properties: [2, {
    "object": "require"
}] */

require.resolve('foo');

Examples of correct code for this rule:

/* eslint no-restricted-properties: [2, {
    "object": "disallowedObjectName",
    "property": "disallowedPropertyName"
}] */

var example = disallowedObjectName.somePropertyName;

allowedObjectName.disallowedPropertyName();

/* eslint no-restricted-properties: [2, {
    "object": "require"
}] */

require('foo');

When Not To Use It

If you don't have any object/property combinations to restrict, you should not use this rule.

disallow dangling underscores in identifiers (no-underscore-dangle)

As far as naming conventions for identifiers go, dangling underscores may be the most polarizing in JavaScript. Dangling underscores are underscores at either the beginning or end of an identifier, such as:

var _foo;

There is actually a long history of using dangling underscores to indicate "private" members of objects in JavaScript (though JavaScript doesn't have truly private members, this convention served as a warning). This began with SpiderMonkey adding nonstandard methods such as __defineGetter__(). The intent with the underscores was to make it obvious that this method was special in some way. Since that time, using a single underscore prefix has become popular as a way to indicate "private" members of objects.

Whether or not you choose to allow dangling underscores in identifiers is purely a convention and has no effect on performance, readability, or complexity. It's purely a preference.

Disallow mixes of different operators (no-mixed-operators)

Enclosing complex expressions by parentheses clarifies the developer's intention, which makes the code more readable. This rule warns when different operators are used consecutively without parentheses in an expression.

var foo = a && b || c || d;    /*BAD: Unexpected mix of '&&' and '||'.*/
var foo = (a && b) || c || d;  /*GOOD*/
var foo = a && (b || c || d);  /*GOOD*/

Rule Details

This rule checks BinaryExpression and LogicalExpression.

This rule may conflict with [no-extra-parens](no-extra-parens.md) rule. If you use both this and [no-extra-parens](no-extra-parens.md) rule together, you need to use the nestedBinaryExpressions option of [no-extra-parens](no-extra-parens.md) rule.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/*eslint no-mixed-operators: "error"*/

var foo = a && b < 0 || c > 0 || d + 1 === 0;
var foo = a + b * c;

Examples of correct code for this rule:

/*eslint no-mixed-operators: "error"*/

This rule has 2 options.

• groups (string[][]) - specifies groups to compare operators. When this rule compares two operators, if both operators are included in a same group, this rule checks it. Otherwise, this rule ignores it. This value is a list of groups. The group is a list of binary operators. Default is the groups for each kind of operators.
• allowSamePrecedence (boolean) - specifies to allow mix of 2 operators if those have the same precedence. Default is true.

groups

The following operators can be used in groups option:

• Arithmetic Operators: "+", "-", "*", "/", "%", "**"
• Bitwise Operators: "&", "|", "^", "~", "<<", ">>", ">>>"
• Comparison Operators: "==", "!=", "===", "!==", ">", ">=", "<", "<="
• Logical Operators: "&&", "||"
• Relational Operators: "in", "instanceof"

Now, considers about {"groups": [["&", "|", "^", "~", "<<", ">>", ">>>"], ["&&", "||"]]} configure. This configure has 2 groups: bitwise operators and logical operators. This rule checks only if both operators are included in a same group. So, in this case, this rule comes to check between bitwise operators and between logical operators. This rule ignores other operators.

/*eslint no-mixed-operators: ["error", {"groups": [["&", "|", "^", "~", "<<", ">>", ">>>"], ["&&", "||"]]}]*/

var foo = a && b < 0 || c > 0 || d + 1 === 0;
var foo = a & b | c;

var foo = a && b > 0 && c + 1 === 0;
var foo = (a && b < 0) || c > 0 || d + 1 === 0;
var foo = a && (b < 0 ||  c > 0 || d + 1 === 0);
var foo = (a & b) | c;
var foo = a & (b | c);
var foo = a + b * c;
var foo = a + (b * c);
var foo = (a + b) * c;

allowSamePrecedence

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

// + and - have the same precedence.
var foo = a + b - c;

Examples of incorrect code for this rule with {"allowSamePrecedence": false} option:

/*eslint no-mixed-operators: ["error", {"allowSamePrecedence": false}]*/

// + and - have the same precedence.
var foo = a + b - c;

When Not To Use It

If you don't want to be notified about mixed operators, then it's safe to disable this rule.
