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
}

:::

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

        return void callback();
    }
    return true;

function bar(condition) {
    if (condition) {
        return undefined;
    }
    return true;

    if (condition) {
        return undefined;

When Not To Use It

If you want to allow functions to have different return behavior depending on code branching, then it is safe to disable this rule. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/

title: prefer-promise-reject-errors ruletype: suggestion relatedrules: - no-throw-literal further_reading:

- http://bluebirdjs.com/docs/warning-explanations.html#warning-a-promise-was-rejected-with-a-non-error

It is considered good practice to only pass instances of the built-in Error object to the reject() function for user-defined errors in Promises. Error objects automatically store a stack trace, which can be used to debug an error by determining where it came from. If a Promise is rejected with a non-Error value, it can be difficult to determine where the rejection occurred.

Rule Details

This rule aims to ensure that Promises are only rejected with Error objects.

Options

This rule takes one optional object argument:

• allowEmptyReject: true (false by default) allows calls to Promise.reject() with no arguments.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

::: incorrect

/*eslint prefer-promise-reject-errors: "error"*/

Promise.reject("something bad happened");

Promise.reject(5);

Promise.reject();

new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
  reject("something bad happened");
});

new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
  reject();
});

:::

Examples of correct code for this rule:

::: correct

/*eslint prefer-promise-reject-errors: "error"*/

Promise.reject(new Error("something bad happened"));

Promise.reject(new TypeError("something bad happened"));

new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
  reject(new Error("something bad happened"));
});

var foo = getUnknownValue();
Promise.reject(foo);

:::

Examples of correct code for this rule with the allowEmptyReject: true option:

::: correct

/*eslint prefer-promise-reject-errors: ["error", {"allowEmptyReject": true}]*/

Promise.reject();

new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
  reject();
});

:::

Known Limitations

Due to the limits of static analysis, this rule cannot guarantee that you will only reject Promises with Error objects. While the rule will report cases where it can guarantee that the rejection reason is clearly not an Error, it will not report cases where there is uncertainty about whether a given reason is an Error. For more information on this caveat, see the [similar limitations](no-throw-literal#known-limitations) in the no-throw-literal rule.

To avoid conflicts between rules, this rule does not report non-error values used in throw statements in async functions, even though these lead to Promise rejections. To lint for these cases, use the [no-throw-literal](no-throw-literal) rule.

When Not To Use It

If you're using custom non-error values as Promise rejection reasons, you can turn off this rule. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/

title: class-methods-use-this ruletype: suggestion furtherreading: - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes

- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes/static

If a class method does not use this, it can sometimes be made into a static function. If you do convert the method into a static function, instances of the class that call that particular method have to be converted to a static call as well (MyClass.callStaticMethod())

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Also note in the above examples that if you switch a method to a static method, instances of the class that call the static method (let a = new A(); a.sayHi();) have to be updated to being a static call (A.sayHi();) instead of having the instance of the class call the method

Rule Details

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

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

::: incorrect

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

class A {
    foo() {
        console.log("Hello World");     /*error Expected 'this' to be used by class method 'foo'.*/
    }
}

:::

Examples of correct code for this rule:

::: correct

/*eslint class-methods-use-this: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
class A {
    foo() {
        this.bar = "Hello World"; // OK, this is used
    }
}

class A {
    constructor() {
        // OK. constructor is exempt
    }
}

class A {
    static foo() {
        // OK. static methods aren't expected to use this.
    }

    static {
        // OK. static blocks are exempt.
    }
}

:::

Options

This rule has two options:

• "exceptMethods" allows specified method names to be ignored with this rule.
• "enforceForClassFields" enforces that functions used as instance field initializers utilize this. (default: true)

exceptMethods

"class-methods-use-this": [<enabled>, { "exceptMethods": [&lt;...exceptions&gt;] }]</enabled>

The "exceptMethods" option allows you to pass an array of method names for which you would like to ignore warnings. For example, you might have a spec from an external library that requires you to overwrite a method as a regular function (and not as a static method) and does not use this inside the function body. In this case, you can add that method to ignore in the warnings.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule when used without "exceptMethods":

::: incorrect

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

class A {
    foo() {
    }
}

:::

Examples of correct code for this rule when used with exceptMethods:

::: correct

/*eslint class-methods-use-this: ["error", { "exceptMethods": ["foo", "#bar"] }] */

class A {
    foo() {
    }
    #bar() {
    }
}

:::

enforceForClassFields

"class-methods-use-this": [<enabled>, { "enforceForClassFields": true | false }]</enabled>

The enforceForClassFields option enforces that arrow functions and function expressions used as instance field initializers utilize this. (default: true)

Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the { "enforceForClassFields": true } option (default):

::: incorrect

/*eslint class-methods-use-this: ["error", { "enforceForClassFields": true }] */

class A {
    foo = () => {}
}

:::

Examples of correct code for this rule with the { "enforceForClassFields": true } option (default):

::: correct

/*eslint class-methods-use-this: ["error", { "enforceForClassFields": true }] */

class A {
    foo = () => {this;}
}

:::

Examples of correct code for this rule with the { "enforceForClassFields": false } option:

::: correct

/*eslint class-methods-use-this: ["error", { "enforceForClassFields": false }] */

class A {
    foo = () => {}
}
