Disallow Null Comparisons (no-eq-null)
Comparing to null
without a type-checking operator (==
or !=
), can have unintended results as the comparison will evaluate to true when comparing to not just a null
, but also an undefined
value.
if (foo == null) {
bar();
}
Rule Details
The no-eq-null
rule aims reduce potential bug and unwanted behavior by ensuring that comparisons to null
only match null
, and not also undefined
. As such it will flag comparisons to null when using ==
and !=
.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-eq-null: "error"*/
if (foo == null) {
bar();
}
while (qux != null) {
baz();
}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-eq-null: "error"*/
if (foo === null) {
bar();
}
while (qux !== null) {
baz();
}

disallow variable redeclaration (no-redeclare)
In JavaScript, it's possible to redeclare the same variable name using var
. This can lead to confusion as to where the variable is actually declared and initialized.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at eliminating variables that have multiple declarations in the same scope.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

Require === and !== (eqeqeq)
It is considered good practice to use the type-safe equality operators ===
and !==
instead of their regular counterparts ==
and !=
.
The reason for this is that ==
and !=
do type coercion which follows the rather obscure Abstract Equality Comparison Algorithm.
For instance, the following statements are all considered true
:
[] == false
[] == ![]
3 == "03"
If one of those occurs in an innocent-looking statement such as a == b
the actual problem is very difficult to spot.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at eliminating the type-unsafe equality operators.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint eqeqeq: "error"*/
if (x == 42) { }
if ("" == text) { }
if (obj.getStuff() != undefined) { }
The --fix
option on the command line automatically fixes some problems reported by this rule. A problem is only fixed if one of the operands is a typeof
expression, or if both operands are literals with the same type.
Options
always
The "always"
option (default) enforces the use of ===
and !==
in every situation (except when you opt-in to more specific handling of null
[see below]).
Examples of incorrect code for the "always"
option:
/*eslint eqeqeq: ["error", "always"]*/
a == b
foo == true
bananas != 1
value == undefined
typeof foo == 'undefined'
'hello' != 'world'
0 == 0

This rule optionally takes a second argument, which should be an object with the following supported properties:

literals. Possible values:-
always
(default) - Always use === or !==. -
never
- Never use === or !== withnull
. -

-
smart
The "smart"
option enforces the use of ===
and !==
except for these cases:
- Comparing two literal values
- Evaluating the value of
typeof
- Comparing against
null
Examples of incorrect code for the "smart"
option:
/*eslint eqeqeq: ["error", "smart"]*/
// comparing two variables requires ===
a == b
// only one side is a literal

Deprecated: Instead of using this option use "always" and pass a "null" option property with value "ignore". This will tell eslint to always enforce strict equality except when comparing with the null
literal.

Disallow Case Statement Fallthrough (no-fallthrough)
The switch
statement in JavaScript is one of the more error-prone constructs of the language thanks in part to the ability to "fall through" from one case
to the next. For example:
switch(foo) {
case 1:
doSomething();
case 2:
doSomethingElse();
}
In this example, if foo
is 1
, then execution will flow through both cases, as the first falls through to the second. You can prevent this by using break
, as in this example:
switch(foo) {
case 1:
doSomething();
break;
case 2:
doSomethingElse();
}
That works fine when you don't want a fallthrough, but what if the fallthrough is intentional, there is no way to indicate that in the language. It's considered a best practice to always indicate when a fallthrough is intentional using a comment which matches the /falls?\s?through/i
regular expression:
switch(foo) {
case 1:
doSomething();
// falls through
case 2:
doSomethingElse();
}
switch(foo) {
case 1:
doSomething();
// fall through
case 2:
doSomethingElse();
}
switch(foo) {
case 1:
doSomething();
// fallsthrough
case 2:
doSomethingElse();
}
In this example, there is no confusion as to the expected behavior. It is clear that the first case is meant to fall through to the second case.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at eliminating unintentional fallthrough of one case to the other. As such, it flags any fallthrough scenarios that are not marked by a comment.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-fallthrough: "error"*/
switch(foo) {
case 1:
doSomething();
case 2:
doSomething();
}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-fallthrough: "error"*/
switch(foo) {
case 1:
doSomething();
break;
case 2:
doSomething();
}
function bar(foo) {
switch(foo) {
case 1:
doSomething();
return;
case 2:
doSomething();
}
}
switch(foo) {
case 1:
doSomething();
throw new Error("Boo!");
case 2:
doSomething();
}
switch(foo) {
case 1:
case 2:
doSomething();
}
switch(foo) {
case 1:
doSomething();
// falls through
case 2:
doSomething();
}
Note that the last case
statement in these examples does not cause a warning because there is nothing to fall through into.
Options
This rule accepts a single options argument:
- Set the
commentPattern
option to a regular expression string to change the test for intentional fallthrough comment
commentPattern
Examples of correct code for the { "commentPattern": "break[\\s\\w]*omitted" }
option:
/*eslint no-fallthrough: ["error", { "commentPattern": "break[\\s\\w]*omitted" }]*/
switch(foo) {
case 1:
doSomething();
// break omitted
case 2:
doSomething();
}
switch(foo) {
case 1:
doSomething();
// caution: break is omitted intentionally
default:
doSomething();
}
When Not To Use It
If you don't want to enforce that each case
statement should end with a throw
, return
, break
, or comment, then you can safely turn this rule off.

/*eslint eqeqeq: ["error", "always"]*/
a == b
foo == true
bananas != 1
value == undefined
typeof foo == 'undefined'
'hello' != 'world'
0 == 0
true == true
foo == null
Examples of correct code for the "always"
option:
/*eslint eqeqeq: ["error", "always"]*/
a === b
foo === true
bananas !== 1
value === undefined
typeof foo === 'undefined'
'hello' !== 'world'
0 === 0
true === true
foo === null
This rule optionally takes a second argument, which should be an object with the following supported properties:
-
"null"
: Customize how this rule treatsnull
literals. Possible values:-
always
(default) - Always use === or !==. -
never
- Never use === or !== withnull
. -
ignore
- Do not apply this rule tonull
.
-
smart
The "smart"
option enforces the use of ===
and !==
except for these cases:
- Comparing two literal values
- Evaluating the value of
typeof
- Comparing against
null
Examples of incorrect code for the "smart"
option:
/*eslint eqeqeq: ["error", "smart"]*/
// comparing two variables requires ===
a == b
// only one side is a literal
foo == true
bananas != 1
// comparing to undefined requires ===
value == undefined
Examples of correct code for the "smart"
option:
/*eslint eqeqeq: ["error", "smart"]*/
typeof foo == 'undefined'
'hello' != 'world'
0 == 0
true == true
foo == null
allow-null
Deprecated: Instead of using this option use "always" and pass a "null" option property with value "ignore". This will tell eslint to always enforce strict equality except when comparing with the null
literal.

When Not To Use It
If you don't want to enforce a style for using equality operators, then it's safe to disable this rule. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/

Require Guarding for-in (guard-for-in)
Looping over objects with a for in
loop will include properties that are inherited through the prototype chain. This behavior can lead to unexpected items in your for loop.
for (key in foo) {
doSomething(key);
}
Note that simply checking foo.hasOwnProperty(key)
is likely to cause an error in some cases; see [no-prototype-builtins](no-prototype-builtins.md).
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at preventing unexpected behavior that could arise from using a for in
loop without filtering the results in the loop. As such, it will warn when for in
loops do not filter their results with an if
statement.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint guard-for-in: "error"*/
for (key in foo) {
doSomething(key);
}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint guard-for-in: "error"*/
for (key in foo) {
if (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(foo, key)) {
doSomething(key);
}
if ({}.hasOwnProperty.call(foo, key)) {
doSomething(key);
}
}

Disallow Use of Alert (no-alert)
JavaScript's alert
, confirm
, and prompt
functions are widely considered to be obtrusive as UI elements and should be replaced by a more appropriate custom UI implementation. Furthermore, alert
is often used while debugging code, which should be removed before deployment to production.
alert("here!");
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at catching debugging code that should be removed and popup UI elements that should be replaced with less obtrusive, custom UIs. As such, it will warn when it encounters alert
, prompt
, and confirm
function calls which are not shadowed.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-alert: "error"*/
alert("here!");
confirm("Are you sure?");
prompt("What's your name?", "John Doe");
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-alert: "error"*/
customAlert("Something happened!");
customConfirm("Are you sure?");
customPrompt("Who are you?");
function foo() {
var alert = myCustomLib.customAlert;
alert();
}

disallow variable redeclaration (no-redeclare)
In JavaScript, it's possible to redeclare the same variable name using var
. This can lead to confusion as to where the variable is actually declared and initialized.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at eliminating variables that have multiple declarations in the same scope.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-redeclare: "error"*/
var a = 3;
var a = 10;
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-redeclare: "error"*/
var a = 3;
// ...
a = 10;
Options
This rule takes one optional argument, an object with a boolean property "builtinGlobals"
. It defaults to false
.
If set to true
, this rule also checks redeclaration of built-in globals, such as Object
, Array
, Number
...
builtinGlobals
Examples of incorrect code for the { "builtinGlobals": true }
option:
/*eslint no-redeclare: ["error", { "builtinGlobals": true }]*/
var Object = 0;
Examples of incorrect code for the { "builtinGlobals": true }
option and the browser
environment:
/*eslint no-redeclare: ["error", { "builtinGlobals": true }]*/
/*eslint-env browser*/
var top = 0;
The browser
environment has many built-in global variables (for example, top
). Some of built-in global variables cannot be redeclared.

disallow empty block statements (no-empty)
Empty block statements, while not technically errors, usually occur due to refactoring that wasn't completed. They can cause confusion when reading code.
Rule Details
This rule disallows empty block statements. This rule ignores block statements which contain a comment (for example, in an empty catch
or finally
block of a try
statement to indicate that execution should continue regardless of errors).
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-empty: "error"*/
if (foo) {
}
while (foo) {
}
switch(foo) {
}
try {
doSomething();
} catch(ex) {
} finally {
}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-empty: "error"*/
if (foo) {
// empty
}
while (foo) {
/* empty */
}
try {
doSomething();
} catch (ex) {
// continue regardless of error
}
try {
doSomething();
} finally {
/* continue regardless of error */
}
Options
This rule has an object option for exceptions:
-
"allowEmptyCatch": true
allows emptycatch
clauses (that is, which do not contain a comment)
allowEmptyCatch
Examples of additional correct code for this rule with the { "allowEmptyCatch": true }
option:
/* eslint no-empty: ["error", { "allowEmptyCatch": true }] */
try {
doSomething();
} catch (ex) {}
try {
doSomething();
}
catch (ex) {}
finally {
/* continue regardless of error */
}
When Not To Use It
If you intentionally use empty block statements then you can disable this rule.
