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
(default) disallows dangling underscores in members of thesuper
object

Examples of additional correct code for this rule with the { "allow": ["foo_", "_bar"] }
option:
/*eslint no-underscore-dangle: ["error", { "allow": ["foo_", "_bar"] }]*/
var foo_;
foo._bar();
allowAfterThis
Examples of correct code for this rule with the { "allowAfterThis": true }
option:
/*eslint no-underscore-dangle: ["error", { "allowAfterThis": true }]*/
var a = this.foo_;
this._bar();

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

Require Variable Declarations to be at the top of their scope (vars-on-top)
The vars-on-top
rule generates warnings when variable declarations are not used serially at the top of a function scope or the top of a program.
By default variable declarations are always moved (“hoisted”) invisibly to the top of their containing scope by the JavaScript interpreter.
This rule forces the programmer to represent that behaviour by manually moving the variable declaration to the top of its containing scope.
Rule Details
This rule aims to keep all variable declarations in the leading series of statements. Allowing multiple declarations helps promote maintainability and is thus allowed.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint vars-on-top: "error"*/
// Variable declarations in a block:
function doSomething() {
var first;
if (true) {
first = true;
}
var second;
}
// Variable declaration in for initializer:
function doSomething() {
for (var i=0; i<10; i++) {}
}
/*eslint vars-on-top: "error"*/
// Variables after other statements:
f();
var a;
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint vars-on-top: "error"*/
function doSomething() {
var first;
var second; //multiple declarations are allowed at the top
if (true) {
first = true;
}
}
function doSomething() {
var i;
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {}
}
/*eslint vars-on-top: "error"*/
var a;
f();
/*eslint vars-on-top: "error"*/
// Directives may precede variable declarations.
"use strict";
var a;
f();
// Comments can describe variables.
function doSomething() {
// this is the first var.

Function '_loadMarker' expected no return value. Open

require return
statements to either always or never specify values (consistent-return)
Unlike statically-typed languages which enforce that a function returns a specified type of value, JavaScript allows different code paths in a function to return different types of values.
A confusing aspect of JavaScript is that a function returns undefined
if any of the following are true:
- it does not execute a
return
statement before it exits - it executes
return
which does not specify a value explicitly - it executes
return undefined
- it executes
return void
followed by an expression (for example, a function call) - it executes
return
followed by any other expression which evaluates toundefined
If any code paths in a function return a value explicitly but some code path do not return a value explicitly, it might be a typing mistake, especially in a large function. In the following example:
- a code path through the function returns a Boolean value
true
- another code path does not return a value explicitly, therefore returns
undefined
implicitly
function doSomething(condition) {
if (condition) {
return true;
} else {
return;
}
}
Rule Details
This rule requires return
statements to either always or never specify values. This rule ignores function definitions where the name begins with an uppercase letter, because constructors (when invoked with the new
operator) return the instantiated object implicitly if they do not return another object explicitly.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint consistent-return: "error"*/
function doSomething(condition) {
if (condition) {
return true;
} else {
return;
}
}
function doSomething(condition) {
if (condition) {
return true;
}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint consistent-return: "error"*/
function doSomething(condition) {
if (condition) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
function Foo() {
if (!(this instanceof Foo)) {
return new Foo();
}
this.a = 0;
}
Options
This rule has an object option:
-

implicitly only. -
"treatUndefinedAsUnspecified": true
always either specify values or returnundefined
explicitly or implicitly.

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
Examples of incorrect code for the default "all"
option:
/*eslint curly: "error"*/
if (foo) foo++;
while (bar)
baz();
if (foo) {
baz();
} else qux();
Examples of correct code for the default "all"
option:
/*eslint curly: "error"*/
if (foo) {
foo++;
}
while (bar) {
baz();
}
if (foo) {
baz();
} else {
qux();
}
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) {
foo++;
}
if (foo) bar();
else {
foo++;
}
while (true) {
doSomething();
}
for (var i=0; i < items.length; i++) {
doSomething();
}
Examples of correct code for the "multi"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi"]*/
if (foo) foo++;
else foo();
while (true) {
doSomething();
doSomethingElse();
}
multi-line
Alternatively, you can relax the rule to allow brace-less single-line if
, else if
, else
, for
, while
, or do
, while still enforcing the use of curly braces for other instances.
Examples of incorrect code for the "multi-line"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi-line"]*/
if (foo)
doSomething();
else
doSomethingElse();
if (foo) foo(
bar,
baz);
Examples of correct code for the "multi-line"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi-line"]*/
if (foo) foo++; else doSomething();
if (foo) foo++;
else if (bar) baz()
else doSomething();
do something();
while (foo);
while (foo
&& bar) baz();
if (foo) {
foo++;
}
if (foo) { foo++; }
while (true) {
doSomething();
doSomethingElse();
}
multi-or-nest
You can use another configuration that forces brace-less if
, else if
, else
, for
, while
, or do
if their body contains only one single-line statement. And forces braces in all other cases.
Examples of incorrect code for the "multi-or-nest"
option:

if (!foo)
foo = {
bar: baz,
qux: foo
};
while (true)
if(foo)
doSomething();
else
doSomethingElse();
if (foo) {
foo++;
}
while (true) {
doSomething();
}
for (var i = 0; foo; i++) {
doSomething();
}
if (foo)
// some comment
bar();
Examples of correct code for the "multi-or-nest"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi-or-nest"]*/
if (!foo) {
foo = {
bar: baz,
qux: foo
};
}
while (true) {
if(foo)
doSomething();
else
doSomethingElse();
}
if (foo)
foo++;
while (true)
doSomething();
for (var i = 0; foo; i++)
doSomething();
if (foo) {
// some comment
bar();
}
consistent
When using any of the multi*
options, you can add an option to enforce all bodies of a if
,
else if
and else
chain to be with or without braces.
Examples of incorrect code for the "multi", "consistent"
options:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi", "consistent"]*/
if (foo) {

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");
}

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
.

, 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
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
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.

Require Brace Style (brace-style)
Brace style is closely related to indent style in programming and describes the placement of braces relative to their control statement and body. There are probably a dozen, if not more, brace styles in the world.
The one true brace style is one of the most common brace styles in JavaScript, in which the opening brace of a block is placed on the same line as its corresponding statement or declaration. For example:
if (foo) {
bar();
} else {
baz();
}
One common variant of one true brace style is called Stroustrup, in which the else
statements in an if-else
construct, as well as catch
and finally
, must be on its own line after the preceding closing brace. For example:
if (foo) {
bar();
}
else {
baz();
}
Another style is called Allman, in which all the braces are expected to be on their own lines without any extra indentation. For example:
if (foo)
{
bar();
}
else
{
baz();
}
While no style is considered better than the other, most developers agree that having a consistent style throughout a project is important for its long-term maintainability.

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
, 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"
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with sample { "align": { } }

}]*/
var obj = {
"one": 1,
"seven":7
}
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
}

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"*/

Examples of correct code for this rule:

/*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
load:load
- 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"

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-multiline"
, "only-multiline"
, or "ignore"
.
The default for each option is "never"
unless otherwise specified.

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"*/
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.

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 }]

var foo = {
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.

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 = {

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
(default) disallows dangling underscores in members of thesuper
object

Examples of additional correct code for this rule with the { "allow": ["foo_", "_bar"] }

allowAfterThis
Examples of correct code for this rule with the { "allowAfterThis": true }
option:
/*eslint no-underscore-dangle: ["error", { "allowAfterThis": true }]*/
var a = this.foo_;

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
Examples of incorrect code for the default "all"
option:
/*eslint curly: "error"*/
if (foo) foo++;
while (bar)
baz();
if (foo) {
baz();
} else qux();
Examples of correct code for the default "all"
option:
/*eslint curly: "error"*/
if (foo) {
foo++;
}
while (bar) {
baz();
}
if (foo) {
baz();
} else {
qux();
}
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) {
foo++;
}
if (foo) bar();
else {
foo++;
}
while (true) {
doSomething();
}
for (var i=0; i < items.length; i++) {
doSomething();
}
Examples of correct code for the "multi"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi"]*/
if (foo) foo++;
else foo();
while (true) {
doSomething();
doSomethingElse();
}
multi-line
Alternatively, you can relax the rule to allow brace-less single-line if
, else if
, else
, for
, while
, or do
, while still enforcing the use of curly braces for other instances.
Examples of incorrect code for the "multi-line"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi-line"]*/
if (foo)
doSomething();
else
doSomethingElse();
if (foo) foo(
bar,
baz);
Examples of correct code for the "multi-line"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi-line"]*/
if (foo) foo++; else doSomething();
if (foo) foo++;
else if (bar) baz()
else doSomething();
do something();
while (foo);
while (foo
&& bar) baz();
if (foo) {
foo++;
}
if (foo) { foo++; }
while (true) {
doSomething();
doSomethingElse();
}
multi-or-nest
You can use another configuration that forces brace-less if
, else if
, else
, for
, while
, or do
if their body contains only one single-line statement. And forces braces in all other cases.
Examples of incorrect code for the "multi-or-nest"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi-or-nest"]*/
if (!foo)
foo = {
bar: baz,
qux: foo
};
while (true)
if(foo)
doSomething();
else
doSomethingElse();
if (foo) {
foo++;
}
while (true) {
doSomething();
}
for (var i = 0; foo; i++) {
doSomething();
}
if (foo)
// some comment
bar();
Examples of correct code for the "multi-or-nest"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi-or-nest"]*/
if (!foo) {
foo = {
bar: baz,
qux: foo
};
}
while (true) {
if(foo)
doSomething();
else
doSomethingElse();
}
if (foo)
foo++;
while (true)
doSomething();
for (var i = 0; foo; i++)
doSomething();
if (foo) {
// some comment
bar();
}
consistent
When using any of the multi*
options, you can add an option to enforce all bodies of a if
,
else if
and else
chain to be with or without braces.
Examples of incorrect code for the "multi", "consistent"
options:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi", "consistent"]*/
if (foo) {
bar();
baz();
} else
buz();
if (foo)
bar();
else if (faa)
bor();
else {
other();
things();
}
if (true)
foo();
else {
baz();
}
if (foo) {
foo++;
}

if (true)
foo();

if (foo)

If you have no strict conventions about when to use block statements and when not to, you can safely disable this rule. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/

Require or disallow spaces before/after unary operators (space-unary-ops)
Some style guides require or disallow spaces before or after unary operators. This is mainly a stylistic issue, however, some JavaScript expressions can be written without spacing which makes it harder to read and maintain.
Rule Details
This rule enforces consistency regarding the spaces after words
unary operators and after/before nonwords
unary operators.
Examples of unary words
operators:
// new
var joe = new Person();
// delete
var obj = {
foo: 'bar'
};
delete obj.foo;
// typeof
typeof {} // object
// void
void 0 // undefined
Examples of unary nonwords
operators:
if ([1,2,3].indexOf(1) !== -1) {};
foo = --foo;
bar = bar++;
baz = !foo;
qux = !!baz;
Options
This rule has three options:
-
words
- applies to unary word operators such as:new
,delete
,typeof
,void
,yield
-
nonwords
- applies to unary operators such as:-
,+
,--
,++
,!
,!!
-
overrides
- specifies overwriting usage of spacing for each operator, word or non word. This is empty by default, but can be used to enforce or disallow spacing around operators. For example:
"space-unary-ops": [
2, {
"words": true,
"nonwords": false,
"overrides": {
"new": false,
"++": true
}
}]
In this case, spacing will be disallowed after a new
operator and required before/after a ++
operator.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the {"words": true, "nonwords": false}
option:
/*eslint space-unary-ops: "error"*/
typeof!foo;
void{foo:0};
new[foo][0];
delete(foo.bar);
++ foo;
foo --;
- foo;
+ "3";
/*eslint space-unary-ops: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
function *foo() {
yield(0)
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the {"words": true, "nonwords": false}
option:
/*eslint space-unary-ops: "error"*/
// Word unary operator "delete" is followed by a whitespace.
delete foo.bar;
// Word unary operator "new" is followed by a whitespace.
new Foo;
// Word unary operator "void" is followed by a whitespace.
void 0;
// Unary operator "++" is not followed by whitespace.
++foo;
// Unary operator "--" is not preceded by whitespace.
foo--;
// Unary operator "-" is not followed by whitespace.
-foo;
// Unary operator "+" is not followed by whitespace.
+"3";
/*eslint space-unary-ops: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
function *foo() {
yield (0)
}
