title: func-names ruletype: suggestion furtherreading: - https://web.archive.org/web/20201112040809/http://markdaggett.com/blog/2013/02/15/functions-explained/

A pattern that's becoming more common is to give function expressions names to aid in debugging. For example:

Foo.prototype.bar = function bar() {};

Adding the second bar in the above example is optional. If you leave off the function name then when the function throws an exception you are likely to get something similar to anonymous function in the stack trace. If you provide the optional name for a function expression then you will get the name of the function expression in the stack trace.

Rule Details

This rule can enforce or disallow the use of named function expressions.

Options

This rule has a string option:

• "always" (default) requires function expressions to have a name
• "as-needed" requires function expressions to have a name, if the name isn't assigned automatically per the ECMAScript specification.
• "never" disallows named function expressions, except in recursive functions, where a name is needed

This rule has an object option:

• "generators": "always" | "as-needed" | "never"
  • "always" require named generators
  • "as-needed" require named generators if the name isn't assigned automatically per the ECMAScript specification.
  • "never" disallow named generators where possible.

When a value for generators is not provided the behavior for generator functions falls back to the base option.

Please note that "always" and "as-needed" require function expressions and function declarations in export default declarations to have a name.

always

Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default "always" option:

::: incorrect

/*eslint func-names: ["error", "always"]*/

Foo.prototype.bar = function() {};

const cat = {
  meow: function() {}
}

(function() {
    // ...
}())

export default function() {}

:::

Examples of correct code for this rule with the default "always" option:

::: correct

/*eslint func-names: ["error", "always"]*/

Foo.prototype.bar = function bar() {};

const cat = {
  meow() {}
}

(function bar() {
    // ...
}())

export default function foo() {}

:::

as-needed

ECMAScript 6 introduced a name property on all functions. The value of name is determined by evaluating the code around the function to see if a name can be inferred. For example, a function assigned to a variable will automatically have a name property equal to the name of the variable. The value of name is then used in stack traces for easier debugging.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the "as-needed" option:

::: incorrect

/*eslint func-names: ["error", "as-needed"]*/

Foo.prototype.bar = function() {};

(function() {
    // ...
}())

export default function() {}

:::

Examples of correct code for this rule with the "as-needed" option:

    // ...
}())

title: no-param-reassign ruletype: suggestion furtherreading:

- https://spin.atomicobject.com/2011/04/10/javascript-don-t-reassign-your-function-arguments/

Assignment to variables declared as function parameters can be misleading and lead to confusing behavior, as modifying function parameters will also mutate the arguments object when not in strict mode (see When Not To Use It below). Often, assignment to function parameters is unintended and indicative of a mistake or programmer error.

This rule can be also configured to fail when function parameters are modified. Side effects on parameters can cause counter-intuitive execution flow and make errors difficult to track down.

Rule Details

This rule aims to prevent unintended behavior caused by modification or reassignment of function parameters.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

::: incorrect

/*eslint no-param-reassign: "error"*/

function foo(bar) {
    bar = 13;
}

function foo(bar) {
    bar++;
}

function foo(bar) {
    for (bar in baz) {}
}

function foo(bar) {
    for (bar of baz) {}
}

:::

Examples of correct code for this rule:

::: correct

/*eslint no-param-reassign: "error"*/

function foo(bar) {
    var baz = bar;
}

:::

Options

This rule takes one option, an object, with a boolean property "props", and arrays "ignorePropertyModificationsFor" and "ignorePropertyModificationsForRegex". "props" is false by default. If "props" is set to true, this rule warns against the modification of parameter properties unless they're included in "ignorePropertyModificationsFor" or "ignorePropertyModificationsForRegex", which is an empty array by default.

props

Examples of correct code for the default { "props": false } option:

::: correct

/*eslint no-param-reassign: ["error", { "props": false }]*/

function foo(bar) {
    bar.prop = "value";
}

function foo(bar) {
    delete bar.aaa;
}

function foo(bar) {
    bar.aaa++;
}

function foo(bar) {
    for (bar.aaa in baz) {}
}

function foo(bar) {
    for (bar.aaa of baz) {}
}

:::

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

::: incorrect

/*eslint no-param-reassign: ["error", { "props": true }]*/

function foo(bar) {
    bar.prop = "value";
}

function foo(bar) {
    delete bar.aaa;
}

function foo(bar) {
    bar.aaa++;
}

function foo(bar) {
    for (bar.aaa in baz) {}
}

function foo(bar) {
    for (bar.aaa of baz) {}
}

:::

Examples of correct code for the { "props": true } option with "ignorePropertyModificationsFor" set:

::: correct

/*eslint no-param-reassign: ["error", { "props": true, "ignorePropertyModificationsFor": ["bar"] }]*/

function foo(bar) {
    bar.prop = "value";
}

function foo(bar) {
    delete bar.aaa;
}

function foo(bar) {
    bar.aaa++;
}

function foo(bar) {
    for (bar.aaa in baz) {}
}

function foo(bar) {
    for (bar.aaa of baz) {}
}

:::

Examples of correct code for the { "props": true } option with "ignorePropertyModificationsForRegex" set:

::: correct

/*eslint no-param-reassign: ["error", { "props": true, "ignorePropertyModificationsForRegex": ["^bar"] }]*/

function foo(barVar) {
    barVar.prop = "value";
}

function foo(barrito) {
    delete barrito.aaa;
}

function foo(bar_) {
    bar_.aaa++;
}

function foo(barBaz) {
    for (barBaz.aaa in baz) {}
}

function foo(barBaz) {
    for (barBaz.aaa of baz) {}
}

:::

When Not To Use It

If you want to allow assignment to function parameters, then you can safely disable this rule.

Strict mode code doesn't sync indices of the arguments object with each parameter binding. Therefore, this rule is not necessary to protect against arguments object mutation in ESM modules or other strict mode functions. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/

title: consistent-return

rule_type: suggestion

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 to undefined

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:

::: incorrect

/*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:

::: correct

/*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:

• "treatUndefinedAsUnspecified": false (default) always either specify values or return undefined implicitly only.
• "treatUndefinedAsUnspecified": true always either specify values or return undefined explicitly or implicitly.

treatUndefinedAsUnspecified

Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default { "treatUndefinedAsUnspecified": false } option:

::: incorrect

/*eslint consistent-return: ["error", { "treatUndefinedAsUnspecified": false }]*/

function foo(callback) {
    if (callback) {
        return void callback();
    }
    // no return statement
}

function bar(condition) {
    if (condition) {
        return undefined;
    }
    // no return statement
