require let

instead of var
(no-var)
ECMAScript 6 allows programmers to create variables with block scope instead of function scope using the let
and const
keywords. Block scope is common in many other programming languages and helps programmers avoid mistakes
such as:
var count = people.length;
var enoughFood = count > sandwiches.length;
if (enoughFood) {
var count = sandwiches.length; // accidentally overriding the count variable
console.log("We have " + count + " sandwiches for everyone. Plenty for all!");
}
// our count variable is no longer accurate
console.log("We have " + count + " people and " + sandwiches.length + " sandwiches!");
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at discouraging the use of var
and encouraging the use of const
or let
instead.
Examples
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-var: "error"*/
var x = "y";
var CONFIG = {};
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-var: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
let x = "y";
const CONFIG = {};
When Not To Use It
In addition to non-ES6 environments, existing JavaScript projects that are beginning to introduce ES6 into their
codebase may not want to apply this rule if the cost of migrating from var
to let
is too costly.

Missing trailing comma. Open
init:init
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
require or disallow trailing commas (comma-dangle)
Trailing commas in object literals are valid according to the ECMAScript 5 (and ECMAScript 3!) spec. However, IE8 (when not in IE8 document mode) and below will throw an error when it encounters trailing commas in JavaScript.
var foo = {
bar: "baz",
qux: "quux",
};
Trailing commas simplify adding and removing items to objects and arrays, since only the lines you are modifying must be touched. Another argument in favor of trailing commas is that it improves the clarity of diffs when an item is added or removed from an object or array:
Less clear:
var foo = {
- bar: "baz",
- qux: "quux"
+ bar: "baz"
};
More clear:
var foo = {
bar: "baz",
- qux: "quux",
};
Rule Details
This rule enforces consistent use of trailing commas in object and array literals.
Options
This rule has a string option or an object option:
{
"comma-dangle": ["error", "never"],
// or
"comma-dangle": ["error", {
"arrays": "never",
"objects": "never",
"imports": "never",
"exports": "never",
"functions": "ignore",
}]
}
-
"never"
(default) disallows trailing commas -
"always"
requires trailing commas -
"always-multiline"
requires trailing commas when the last element or property is in a different line than the closing]
or}
and disallows trailing commas when the last element or property is on the same line as the closing]
or}
-
"only-multiline"
allows (but does not require) trailing commas when the last element or property is in a different line than the closing]
or}
and disallows trailing commas when the last element or property is on the same line as the closing]
or}
Trailing commas in function declarations and function calls are valid syntax since ECMAScript 2017; however, the string option does not check these situations for backwards compatibility.
You can also use an object option to configure this rule for each type of syntax.
Each of the following options can be set to "never"
, "always"
, "always-multiline"
, "only-multiline"
, or "ignore"
.
The default for each option is "never"
unless otherwise specified.
-
arrays
is for array literals and array patterns of destructuring. (e.g.let [a,] = [1,];
) -
objects
is for object literals and object patterns of destructuring. (e.g.let {a,} = {a: 1};
) -
imports
is for import declarations of ES Modules. (e.g.import {a,} from "foo";
) -
exports
is for export declarations of ES Modules. (e.g.export {a,};
) -
functions
is for function declarations and function calls. (e.g.(function(a,){ })(b,);
)
functions
is set to"ignore"
by default for consistency with the string option.

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"*/
var foo_;
var __proto__ = {};
foo._bar();
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-underscore-dangle: "error"*/
var _ = require('underscore');
var obj = _.contains(items, item);
obj.__proto__ = {};
var file = __filename;
Options
This rule has an object option:
-
"allow"
allows specified identifiers to have dangling underscores -
"allowAfterThis": false
(default) disallows dangling underscores in members of thethis
object -
"allowAfterSuper": false

object

Require Following Curly Brace Conventions (curly)
JavaScript allows the omission of curly braces when a block contains only one statement. However, it is considered by many to be best practice to never omit curly braces around blocks, even when they are optional, because it can lead to bugs and reduces code clarity. So the following:
if (foo) foo++;
Can be rewritten as:
if (foo) {
foo++;
}
There are, however, some who prefer to only use braces when there is more than one statement to be executed.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at preventing bugs and increasing code clarity by ensuring that block statements are wrapped in curly braces. It will warn when it encounters blocks that omit curly braces.
Options
all

option:
/*eslint curly: "error"*/

}
multi
By default, this rule warns whenever if
, else
, for
, while
, or do
are used without block statements as their body. However, you can specify that block statements should be used only when there are multiple statements in the block and warn when there is only one statement in the block.
Examples of incorrect code for the "multi"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi"]*/
if (foo) {

Alternatively, you can relax the rule to allow brace-less single-line if
, else if

enforce variables to be declared either together or separately in functions (one-var)
Variables can be declared at any point in JavaScript code using var
, let
, or const
. There are many styles and preferences related to the declaration of variables, and one of those is deciding on how many variable declarations should be allowed in a single function.
There are two schools of thought in this regard:
- There should be just one variable declaration for all variables in the function. That declaration typically appears at the top of the function.
- You should use one variable declaration for each variable you want to define.
For instance:
// one variable declaration per function
function foo() {
var bar, baz;
}
// multiple variable declarations per function
function foo() {
var bar;
var baz;
}
The single-declaration school of thought is based in pre-ECMAScript 6 behaviors, where there was no such thing as block scope, only function scope. Since all var
statements are hoisted to the top of the function anyway, some believe that declaring all variables in a single declaration at the top of the function removes confusion around scoping rules.
Rule Details
This rule enforces variables to be declared either together or separately per function ( for var
) or block (for let
and const
) scope.
Options
This rule has one option, which can be a string option or an object option.
String option:
-
"always"
(default) requires one variable declaration per scope -
"never"
requires multiple variable declarations per scope
Object option:
-
"var": "always"
requires onevar
declaration per function -
"var": "never"
requires multiplevar
declarations per function -
"let": "always"

require let
or const
instead of var
(no-var)
ECMAScript 6 allows programmers to create variables with block scope instead of function scope using the let
and const
keywords. Block scope is common in many other programming languages and helps programmers avoid mistakes
such as:
var count = people.length;
var enoughFood = count > sandwiches.length;
if (enoughFood) {
var count = sandwiches.length; // accidentally overriding the count variable
console.log("We have " + count + " sandwiches for everyone. Plenty for all!");
}
// our count variable is no longer accurate
console.log("We have " + count + " people and " + sandwiches.length + " sandwiches!");
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at discouraging the use of var
and encouraging the use of const
or let
instead.
Examples
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-var: "error"*/

When Not To Use It
In addition to non-ES6 environments, existing JavaScript projects that are beginning to introduce ES6 into their
codebase may not want to apply this rule if the cost of migrating from var
to let
is too costly.

Disallow Early Use (no-use-before-define)
In JavaScript, prior to ES6, variable and function declarations are hoisted to the top of a scope, so it's possible to use identifiers before their formal declarations in code. This can be confusing and some believe it is best to always declare variables and functions before using them.
In ES6, block-level bindings (let
and const
) introduce a "temporal dead zone" where a ReferenceError
will be thrown with any attempt to access the variable before its declaration.
Rule Details
This rule will warn when it encounters a reference to an identifier that has not yet been declared.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-use-before-define: "error"*/

Require Object Literal Shorthand Syntax (object-shorthand)
EcmaScript 6 provides a concise form for defining object literal methods and properties. This syntax can make defining complex object literals much cleaner.
Here are a few common examples using the ES5 syntax:
// properties
var foo = {
x: x,
y: y,
z: z,
};
// methods
var foo = {
a: function() {},
b: function() {}
};
Now here are ES6 equivalents:
/*eslint-env es6*/
// properties
var foo = {x, y, z};
// methods
var foo = {
a() {},
b() {}
};
Rule Details
This rule enforces the use of the shorthand syntax. This applies to all methods (including generators) defined in object literals and any properties defined where the key name matches name of the assigned variable.
Each of the following properties would warn:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
w: function() {},
x: function *() {},
[y]: function() {},
z: z
};
In that case the expected syntax would have been:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
w() {},
*x() {},
[y]() {},
z
};
This rule does not flag arrow functions inside of object literals. The following will not warn:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
x: (y) => y
};
Options
The rule takes an option which specifies when it should be applied. It can be set to one of the following values:
-
"always"
(default) expects that the shorthand will be used whenever possible. -
"methods"
ensures the method shorthand is used (also applies to generators). -
"properties"
ensures the property shorthand is used (where the key and variable name match). -
"never"
ensures that no property or method shorthand is used in any object literal. -
"consistent"
ensures that either all shorthand or all longform will be used in an object literal. -
"consistent-as-needed"
ensures that either all shorthand or all longform will be used in an object literal, but ensures all shorthand whenever possible.
You can set the option in configuration like this:
{
"object-shorthand": ["error", "always"]
}
Additionally, the rule takes an optional object configuration:
-
"avoidQuotes": true
indicates that longform syntax is preferred whenever the object key is a string literal (default:false
). Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
,"methods"
, or"properties"
. -
"ignoreConstructors": true
can be used to prevent the rule from reporting errors for constructor functions. (By default, the rule treats constructors the same way as other functions.) Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
or"methods"
. -
"avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true
indicates that methods are preferred over explicit-return arrow functions for function properties. (By default, the rule allows either of these.) Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
or"methods"
.

foo: (bar, baz) => {
return bar + baz;
},
qux: (foobar) => {
return foobar * 2;
}
};
Example of correct code for this rule with the "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: ["error", "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
foo(bar, baz) {
return bar + baz;
},
qux: foobar => foobar * 2
};
Example of incorrect code for this rule with the "consistent"
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a,
b: "foo",
};
Examples of correct code for this rule with the "consistent"
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a: a,
b: "foo"
};
var bar = {
a,
b,
};
Example of incorrect code with the "consistent-as-needed"
option, which is very similar to "consistent"
:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent-as-needed"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a: a,
b: b,
};
When Not To Use It
Anyone not yet in an ES6 environment would not want to apply this rule. Others may find the terseness of the shorthand syntax harder to read and may not want to encourage it with this rule.

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"
(default: 0) enforces indentation level forcase
clauses inswitch
statements -
"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(off by default) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains (except in variable declarations and assignments) -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(off by default) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(off by default) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(off by default) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet
, 6 spaces forconst
statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 4 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of tab with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 2 tabs with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0

MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 2 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 8 spaces.

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"
(default: 0) enforces indentation level forcase
clauses inswitch
statements -
"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(off by default) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains (except in variable declarations and assignments) -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(off by default) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-

indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"

arguments
(off by default) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"

enforce consistent spacing between keys and values in object literal properties (key-spacing)
This rule enforces spacing around the colon in object literal properties. It can verify each property individually, or it can ensure horizontal alignment of adjacent properties in an object literal.
Rule Details
This rule enforces consistent spacing between keys and values in object literal properties. In the case of long lines, it is acceptable to add a new line wherever whitespace is allowed.
Options
This rule has an object option:
-
"beforeColon": false
(default) disallows spaces between the key and the colon in object literals. -
"beforeColon": true
requires at least one space between the key and the colon in object literals. -
"afterColon": true
(default) requires at least one space between the colon and the value in object literals. -
"afterColon": false
disallows spaces between the colon and the value in object literals. -
"mode": "strict"
(default) enforces exactly one space before or after colons in object literals. -
"mode": "minimum"
enforces one or more spaces before or after colons in object literals. -
"align": "value"
enforces horizontal alignment of values in object literals. -
"align": "colon"
enforces horizontal alignment of both colons and values in object literals. -
"align"
with an object value allows for fine-grained spacing when values are being aligned in object literals. -
"singleLine"
specifies a spacing style for single-line object literals. -
"multiLine"
specifies a spacing style for multi-line object literals.
Please note that you can either use the top-level options or the grouped options (singleLine
and multiLine
) but not both.

align
The align
option can take additional configuration through the beforeColon

// Defaults
align: {
"beforeColon": false,

align and multiLine
The multiLine
and align
options can differ, which allows for fine-tuned control over the key-spacing
of your files. align
will not inherit from multiLine
if align
is configured as an object.
multiLine
is used any time an object literal spans multiple lines. The align
configuration is used when there is a group of properties in the same object. For example:
var myObj = {
key1: 1, // uses multiLine
key2: 2, // uses align (when defined)
key3: 3, // uses align (when defined)
key4: 4 // uses multiLine
}

align
The align
option can take additional configuration through the beforeColon
, afterColon
, mode
, and on
options.
If align
is defined as an object, but not all of the parameters are provided, undefined parameters will default to the following:
// Defaults
align: {
"beforeColon": false,
"afterColon": true,
"on": "colon",
"mode": "strict"
}

align and multiLine
The multiLine
and align
options can differ, which allows for fine-tuned control over the key-spacing
of your files. align
will not inherit from multiLine
if align
is configured as an object.
multiLine
is used any time an object literal spans multiple lines. The align
configuration is used when there is a group of properties in the same object. For example:
var myObj = {
key1: 1, // uses multiLine
key2: 2, // uses align (when defined)
key3: 3, // uses align (when defined)
key4: 4 // uses multiLine
}

//
}, // These are two separate groups, so no alignment between `myObjectFuction` and `one`
"one" : 1,
"seven" : 7 // `one` and `seven` are in their own group, and therefore aligned
}

Require Object Literal Shorthand Syntax (object-shorthand)
EcmaScript 6 provides a concise form for defining object literal methods and properties. This syntax can make defining complex object literals much cleaner.
Here are a few common examples using the ES5 syntax:
// properties
var foo = {
x: x,
y: y,
z: z,
};
// methods
var foo = {
a: function() {},
b: function() {}
};
Now here are ES6 equivalents:
/*eslint-env es6*/
// properties
var foo = {x, y, z};
// methods
var foo = {
a() {},
b() {}
};
Rule Details
This rule enforces the use of the shorthand syntax. This applies to all methods (including generators) defined in object literals and any properties defined where the key name matches name of the assigned variable.
Each of the following properties would warn:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
w: function() {},
x: function *() {},
[y]: function() {},
z: z
};
In that case the expected syntax would have been:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
w() {},
*x() {},
[y]() {},
z
};
This rule does not flag arrow functions inside of object literals. The following will not warn:
/*eslint object-shorthand: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
x: (y) => y
};
Options
The rule takes an option which specifies when it should be applied. It can be set to one of the following values:
-
"always"
(default) expects that the shorthand will be used whenever possible. -
"methods"
ensures the method shorthand is used (also applies to generators). -
"properties"
ensures the property shorthand is used (where the key and variable name match). -
"never"
ensures that no property or method shorthand is used in any object literal. -
"consistent"
ensures that either all shorthand or all longform will be used in an object literal. -
"consistent-as-needed"
ensures that either all shorthand or all longform will be used in an object literal, but ensures all shorthand whenever possible.
You can set the option in configuration like this:
{
"object-shorthand": ["error", "always"]
}
Additionally, the rule takes an optional object configuration:
-
"avoidQuotes": true
indicates that longform syntax is preferred whenever the object key is a string literal (default:false
). Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
,"methods"
, or"properties"
. -
"ignoreConstructors": true
can be used to prevent the rule from reporting errors for constructor functions. (By default, the rule treats constructors the same way as other functions.) Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
or"methods"
. -
"avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true
indicates that methods are preferred over explicit-return arrow functions for function properties. (By default, the rule allows either of these.) Note that this option can only be enabled when the string option is set to"always"
or"methods"
.

"object-shorthand": ["error", "always", { "avoidQuotes": true }]

foo: (bar, baz) => {
return bar + baz;
},
qux: (foobar) => {
return foobar * 2;
}
};
Example of correct code for this rule with the "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: ["error", "always", { "avoidExplicitReturnArrows": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
foo(bar, baz) {
return bar + baz;
},
qux: foobar => foobar * 2
};
Example of incorrect code for this rule with the "consistent"
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a,
b: "foo",
};
Examples of correct code for this rule with the "consistent"
option:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a: a,
b: "foo"
};
var bar = {
a,
b,
};
Example of incorrect code with the "consistent-as-needed"
option, which is very similar to "consistent"
:
/*eslint object-shorthand: [2, "consistent-as-needed"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = {
a: a,
b: b,
};
When Not To Use It
Anyone not yet in an ES6 environment would not want to apply this rule. Others may find the terseness of the shorthand syntax harder to read and may not want to encourage it with this rule.

such as:
var count = people.length;
var enoughFood = count > sandwiches.length;
