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"

enforce the consistent use of either backticks, double, or single quotes (quotes)
JavaScript allows you to define strings in one of three ways: double quotes, single quotes, and backticks (as of ECMAScript 6). For example:
/*eslint-env es6*/
var double = "double";
var single = 'single';
var backtick = `backtick`; // ES6 only
Each of these lines creates a string and, in some cases, can be used interchangeably. The choice of how to define strings in a codebase is a stylistic one outside of template literals (which allow embedded of expressions to be interpreted).
Many codebases require strings to be defined in a consistent manner.
Rule Details
This rule enforces the consistent use of either backticks, double, or single quotes.
Options
This rule has two options, a string option and an object option.
String option:
-
"double"
(default) requires the use of double quotes wherever possible -
"single"
requires the use of single quotes wherever possible -
"backtick"
requires the use of backticks wherever possible
Object option:
-
"avoidEscape": true
allows strings to use single-quotes or double-quotes so long as the string contains a quote that would have to be escaped otherwise -
"allowTemplateLiterals": true
allows strings to use backticks
Deprecated: The object property avoid-escape
is deprecated; please use the object property avoidEscape
instead.

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");
}

Disallow Undeclared Variables (no-undef)
This rule can help you locate potential ReferenceErrors resulting from misspellings of variable and parameter names, or accidental implicit globals (for example, from forgetting the var
keyword in a for
loop initializer).
Rule Details
Any reference to an undeclared variable causes a warning, unless the variable is explicitly mentioned in a /*global ...*/
comment.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-undef: "error"*/
var a = someFunction();
b = 10;
Examples of correct code for this rule with global
declaration:
/*global someFunction b:true*/
/*eslint no-undef: "error"*/
var a = someFunction();
b = 10;
The b:true
syntax in /*global */
indicates that assignment to b
is correct.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with global
declaration:
/*global b*/
/*eslint no-undef: "error"*/
b = 10;
By default, variables declared in /*global */
are read-only, therefore assignment is incorrect.
Options
-
typeof
set to true will warn for variables used inside typeof check (Default false).
typeof
Examples of correct code for the default { "typeof": false }
option:
/*eslint no-undef: "error"*/
if (typeof UndefinedIdentifier === "undefined") {
// do something ...
}
You can use this option if you want to prevent typeof
check on a variable which has not been declared.
Examples of incorrect code for the { "typeof": true }
option:
/*eslint no-undef: ["error", { "typeof": true }] */
if(typeof a === "string"){}
Examples of correct code for the { "typeof": true }
option with global
declaration:
/*global a*/
/*eslint no-undef: ["error", { "typeof": true }] */
if(typeof a === "string"){}
Environments
For convenience, ESLint provides shortcuts that pre-define global variables exposed by popular libraries and runtime environments. This rule supports these environments, as listed in Specifying Environments. A few examples are given below.
browser
Examples of correct code for this rule with browser
environment:
/*eslint no-undef: "error"*/
/*eslint-env browser*/
setTimeout(function() {
alert("Hello");
});
node
Examples of correct code for this rule with node
environment:
/*eslint no-undef: "error"*/
/*eslint-env node*/
var fs = require("fs");
module.exports = function() {
console.log(fs);
};
When Not To Use It
If explicit declaration of global variables is not to your taste.

Rule Details
This rule enforces the consistent use of either backticks, double, or single quotes.
Options
This rule has two options, a string option and an object option.
String option:
-
"double"
(default) requires the use of double quotes wherever possible -
"single"
requires the use of single quotes wherever possible -
"backtick"
requires the use of backticks wherever possible
Object option:
-
"avoidEscape": true
allows strings to use single-quotes or double-quotes so long as the string contains a quote that would have to be escaped otherwise -
"allowTemplateLiterals": true
allows strings to use backticks
Deprecated: The object property avoid-escape
is deprecated; please use the object property avoidEscape
instead.

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");
}
When Not To Use It
If you don't want to be notified about unused variables or function arguments, you can safely turn this rule off. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/
'config' is never reassigned. Use 'const' instead. Open
let config = {
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Suggest using const
(prefer-const)
If a variable is never reassigned, using the const
declaration is better.
const
declaration tells readers, "this variable is never reassigned," reducing cognitive load and improving maintainability.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at flagging variables that are declared using let
keyword, but never reassigned after the initial assignment.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint prefer-const: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
// it's initialized and never reassigned.
let a = 3;
console.log(a);
let a;
a = 0;
console.log(a);
// `i` is redefined (not reassigned) on each loop step.
for (let i in [1, 2, 3]) {
console.log(i);
}
// `a` is redefined (not reassigned) on each loop step.
for (let a of [1, 2, 3]) {
console.log(a);
}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint prefer-const: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
// using const.
const a = 0;
// it's never initialized.
let a;
console.log(a);
// it's reassigned after initialized.

destructuring
The kind of the way to address variables in destructuring. There are 2 values:
-
"any"
(default) - If any variables in destructuring should beconst
, this rule warns for those variables. -
"all"
- If all variables in destructuring should beconst
, this rule warns the variables. Otherwise, ignores them.
Examples of incorrect code for the default {"destructuring": "any"}
option:
/*eslint prefer-const: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
let {a, b} = obj; /*error 'b' is never reassigned, use 'const' instead.*/
a = a + 1;
Examples of correct code for the default {"destructuring": "any"}
option:
/*eslint prefer-const: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
// using const.
const {a: a0, b} = obj;
const a = a0 + 1;
// all variables are reassigned.
let {a, b} = obj;
a = a + 1;
b = b + 1;
Examples of incorrect code for the {"destructuring": "all"}
option:
/*eslint prefer-const: ["error", {"destructuring": "all"}]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
// all of `a` and `b` should be const, so those are warned.
let {a, b} = obj; /*error 'a' is never reassigned, use 'const' instead.
'b' is never reassigned, use 'const' instead.*/
Examples of correct code for the {"destructuring": "all"}
option:
/*eslint prefer-const: ["error", {"destructuring": "all"}]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
// 'b' is never reassigned, but all of `a` and `b` should not be const, so those are ignored.
let {a, b} = obj;
a = a + 1;
ignoreReadBeforeAssign
This is an option to avoid conflicting with no-use-before-define
rule (without "nofunc"
option).
If true
is specified, this rule will ignore variables that are read between the declaration and the first assignment.
Default is false
.
Examples of correct code for the {"ignoreReadBeforeAssign": true}
option:
/*eslint prefer-const: ["error", {"ignoreReadBeforeAssign": true}]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
let timer;
function initialize() {
if (foo()) {
clearInterval(timer);
}
}
timer = setInterval(initialize, 100);
Examples of correct code for the default {"ignoreReadBeforeAssign": false}
option:
/*eslint prefer-const: ["error", {"ignoreReadBeforeAssign": false}]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
const timer = setInterval(initialize, 100);
function initialize() {
if (foo()) {
clearInterval(timer);
}
}
When Not To Use It
If you don't want to be notified about variables that are never reassigned after initial assignment, you can safely disable this rule.

enforce the consistent use of either backticks, double, or single quotes (quotes)
JavaScript allows you to define strings in one of three ways: double quotes, single quotes, and backticks (as of ECMAScript 6). For example:
/*eslint-env es6*/
var double = "double";
var single = 'single';
var backtick = `backtick`; // ES6 only
Each of these lines creates a string and, in some cases, can be used interchangeably. The choice of how to define strings in a codebase is a stylistic one outside of template literals (which allow embedded of expressions to be interpreted).
Many codebases require strings to be defined in a consistent manner.
Rule Details
This rule enforces the consistent use of either backticks, double, or single quotes.
Options
This rule has two options, a string option and an object option.
String option:
-
"double"
(default) requires the use of double quotes wherever possible -
"single"
requires the use of single quotes wherever possible -
"backtick"
requires the use of backticks wherever possible
Object option:
-
"avoidEscape": true
allows strings to use single-quotes or double-quotes so long as the string contains a quote that would have to be escaped otherwise -
"allowTemplateLiterals": true
allows strings to use backticks
Deprecated: The object property avoid-escape
is deprecated; please use the object property avoidEscape
instead.
double

Do not mix 'require' and other declarations. Open
const path = require('path'),
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
disallow require
calls to be mixed with regular variable declarations (no-mixed-requires)
In the Node.js community it is often customary to separate initializations with calls to require
modules from other variable declarations, sometimes also grouping them by the type of module. This rule helps you enforce this convention.
Rule Details
When this rule is enabled, each var
statement must satisfy the following conditions:
- either none or all variable declarations must be require declarations (default)
- all require declarations must be of the same type (grouping)
This rule distinguishes between six kinds of variable declaration types:
-
core
: declaration of a required core module -
file
: declaration of a required file module -
module
: declaration of a required module from the node_modules folder -
computed
: declaration of a required module whose type could not be determined (either because it is computed or because require was called without an argument) -
uninitialized
: a declaration that is not initialized -
other
: any other kind of declaration
In this document, the first four types are summed up under the term require declaration.
var fs = require('fs'), // "core" \
async = require('async'), // "module" |- these are "require declaration"s
foo = require('./foo'), // "file" |
bar = require(getName()), // "computed" /
baz = 42, // "other"
bam; // "uninitialized"
Options
This rule can have an object literal option whose two properties have false
values by default.
Configuring this rule with one boolean option true
is deprecated.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default { "grouping": false, "allowCall": false }
options:
/*eslint no-mixed-requires: "error"*/
var fs = require('fs'),
i = 0;
var async = require('async'),
debug = require('diagnostics').someFunction('my-module'),
eslint = require('eslint');
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default { "grouping": false, "allowCall": false }
options:
/*eslint no-mixed-requires: "error"*/
// only require declarations (grouping off)
var eventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter,
myUtils = require('./utils'),
util = require('util'),
bar = require(getBarModuleName());
// only non-require declarations
var foo = 42,
bar = 'baz';
// always valid regardless of grouping because all declarations are of the same type
var foo = require('foo' + VERSION),
bar = require(getBarModuleName()),
baz = require();
grouping
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the { "grouping": true }
option:
/*eslint no-mixed-requires: ["error", { "grouping": true }]*/
// invalid because of mixed types "core" and "file"
var fs = require('fs'),
async = require('async');
// invalid because of mixed types "file" and "unknown"
var foo = require('foo'),
bar = require(getBarModuleName());
allowCall
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the { "allowCall": true }
option:
/*eslint no-mixed-requires: ["error", { "allowCall": true }]*/
var async = require('async'),
debug = require('diagnostics').someFunction('my-module'), /* allowCall doesn't allow calling any function */
eslint = require('eslint');
Examples of correct code for this rule with the { "allowCall": true }
option:
/*eslint no-mixed-requires: ["error", { "allowCall": true }]*/
var async = require('async'),
debug = require('diagnostics')('my-module'),
eslint = require('eslint');
Known Limitations
The implementation is not aware of any local functions with the name
require
that may shadow Node.js' globalrequire
.Internally, the list of core modules is retrieved via
require("repl")._builtinLibs
. If you use different versions of Node.js for ESLint and your application, the list of core modules for each version may be different. The above mentioned_builtinLibs
property became available in 0.8, for earlier versions a hardcoded list of module names is used as a fallback. If your version of Node.js is older than 0.6 that list may be inaccurate.
When Not To Use It
If you use a pattern such as UMD where the require
d modules are not loaded in variable declarations, this rule will obviously do nothing for you.
