Unreachable code. Open
return valid.length === cap.length;
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
disallow unreachable code after return
, throw
, continue
, and break
statements (no-unreachable)
Because the return
, throw
, break
, and continue
statements unconditionally exit a block of code, any statements after them cannot be executed. Unreachable statements are usually a mistake.
function fn() {
x = 1;
return x;
x = 3; // this will never execute
}
Rule Details
This rule disallows unreachable code after return
, throw
, continue
, and break
statements.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-unreachable: "error"*/
function foo() {
return true;
console.log("done");
}
function bar() {
throw new Error("Oops!");
console.log("done");
}
while(value) {
break;
console.log("done");
}
throw new Error("Oops!");
console.log("done");
function baz() {
if (Math.random() < 0.5) {
return;
} else {
throw new Error();
}
console.log("done");
}
for (;;) {}
console.log("done");
Examples of correct code for this rule, because of JavaScript function and variable hoisting:
/*eslint no-unreachable: "error"*/
function foo() {
return bar();
function bar() {
return 1;
}
}
function bar() {
return x;
var x;
}
switch (foo) {
case 1:
break;
var x;
}
