Require parens in arrow function arguments (arrow-parens)
Arrow functions can omit parentheses when they have exactly one parameter. In all other cases the parameter(s) must be wrapped in parentheses. This rule enforces the consistent use of parentheses in arrow functions.
Rule Details
This rule enforces parentheses around arrow function parameters regardless of arity. For example:
/*eslint-env es6*/
// Bad
a => {}
// Good
(a) => {}
Following this style will help you find arrow functions (=>
) which may be mistakenly included in a condition
when a comparison such as >=
was the intent.
/*eslint-env es6*/
// Bad
if (a => 2) {
}
// Good
if (a >= 2) {
}
The rule can also be configured to discourage the use of parens when they are not required:
/*eslint-env es6*/
// Bad
(a) => {}
// Good
a => {}
Options
This rule has a string option and an object one.
String options are:
-
"always"
(default) requires parens around arguments in all cases. -
"as-needed"
allows omitting parens when there is only one argument.
Object properties for variants of the "as-needed"
option:
-
"requireForBlockBody": true
modifies the as-needed rule in order to require parens if the function body is in an instructions block (surrounded by braces).
always
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default "always"
option:
/*eslint arrow-parens: ["error", "always"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
a => {};
a => a;
a => {'\n'};
a.then(foo => {});
a.then(foo => a);
a(foo => { if (true) {} });
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default "always"
option:
/*eslint arrow-parens: ["error", "always"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
() => {};
(a) => {};
(a) => a;
(a) => {'\n'}
a.then((foo) => {});
a.then((foo) => { if (true) {} });
If Statements
One of benefits of this option is that it prevents the incorrect use of arrow functions in conditionals:
/*eslint-env es6*/
var a = 1;
var b = 2;
// ...
if (a => b) {
console.log('bigger');
} else {
console.log('smaller');
}
// outputs 'bigger', not smaller as expected
The contents of the if
statement is an arrow function, not a comparison.
If the arrow function is intentional, it should be wrapped in parens to remove ambiguity.
/*eslint-env es6*/
var a = 1;
var b = 0;
// ...
if ((a) => b) {
console.log('truthy value returned');
} else {
console.log('falsey value returned');
}
// outputs 'truthy value returned'
The following is another example of this behavior:
/*eslint-env es6*/
var a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4;
var f = a => b ? c: d;
// f = ?
f
is an arrow function which takes a
as an argument and returns the result of b ? c: d
.
This should be rewritten like so:
/*eslint-env es6*/
var a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4;
var f = (a) => b ? c: d;
as-needed
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the "as-needed"
option:
/*eslint arrow-parens: ["error", "as-needed"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
(a) => {};
(a) => a;
(a) => {'\n'};
a.then((foo) => {});
a.then((foo) => a);
a((foo) => { if (true) {} });
Examples of correct code for this rule with the "as-needed"
option:
/*eslint arrow-parens: ["error", "as-needed"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
() => {};
a => {};
a => a;
a => {'\n'};
a.then(foo => {});
a.then(foo => { if (true) {} });
(a, b, c) => a;
(a = 10) => a;
([a, b]) => a;
({a, b}) => a;
requireForBlockBody
Examples of incorrect code for the { "requireForBlockBody": true }
option:
/*eslint arrow-parens: [2, "as-needed", { "requireForBlockBody": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
(a) => a;
a => {};
a => {'\n'};
a.map((x) => x * x);
a.map(x => {
return x * x;
});
a.then(foo => {});
Examples of correct code for the { "requireForBlockBody": true }
option:
/*eslint arrow-parens: [2, "as-needed", { "requireForBlockBody": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
(a) => {};
(a) => {'\n'};
a => ({});
() => {};
a => a;
a.then((foo) => {});
a.then((foo) => { if (true) {} });
a((foo) => { if (true) {} });
(a, b, c) => a;
(a = 10) => a;
([a, b]) => a;
({a, b}) => a;

Suggest using arrow functions as callbacks. (prefer-arrow-callback)
Arrow functions are suited to callbacks, because:
-
this
keywords in arrow functions bind to the upper scope's. - The notation of the arrow function is shorter than function expression's.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed to flag usage of function expressions in an argument list.
The following patterns are considered problems:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: "error"*/
foo(function(a) { return a; });
foo(function() { return this.a; }.bind(this));
The following patterns are not considered problems:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
foo(a => a);
foo(function*() { yield; });
// this is not a callback.
var foo = function foo(a) { return a; };
// using `this` without `.bind(this)`.
foo(function() { return this.a; });
// recursively.
foo(function bar(n) { return n && n + bar(n - 1); });
Options
This rule takes one optional argument, an object which is an options object.
allowNamedFunctions
This is a boolean
option and it is false
by default. When set to true
, the rule doesn't warn on named functions used as callbacks.
Examples of correct code for the { "allowNamedFunctions": true }
option:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: ["error", { "allowNamedFunctions": true }]*/
foo(function bar() {});
allowUnboundThis
This is a boolean
option and it is true
by default. When set to false
, this option allows the use of this
without restriction and checks for dynamically assigned this
values such as when using Array.prototype.map
with a context
argument. Normally, the rule will flag the use of this
whenever a function does not use bind()
to specify the value of this
constantly.
Examples of incorrect code for the { "allowUnboundThis": false }
option:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: ["error", { "allowUnboundThis": false }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
foo(function() { this.a; });
foo(function() { (() => this); });
someArray.map(function (itm) { return this.doSomething(itm); }, someObject);
When Not To Use It
This rule should not be used in ES3/5 environments.
In ES2015 (ES6) or later, if you don't want to be notified about function expressions in an argument list, you can safely disable this rule. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/

Suggest using template literals instead of string concatenation. (prefer-template)
In ES2015 (ES6), we can use template literals instead of string concatenation.

var str = `Hello, ${name}!`;
Rule Details
This rule is aimed to flag usage of +
operators with strings.
Examples
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint prefer-template: "error"*/
var str = "Hello, " + name + "!";
var str = "Time: " + (12 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint prefer-template: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var str = "Hello World!";
var str = `Hello, ${name}!`;
var str = `Time: ${12 * 60 * 60 * 1000}`;
// This is reported by `no-useless-concat`.
var str = "Hello, " + "World!";
When Not To Use It
This rule should not be used in ES3/5 environments.
In ES2015 (ES6) or later, if you don't want to be notified about string concatenation, you can safely disable this rule.
