Cognitive Complexity
Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how difficult a unit of code is to intuitively understand. Unlike Cyclomatic Complexity, which determines how difficult your code will be to test, Cognitive Complexity tells you how difficult your code will be to read and comprehend.
A method's cognitive complexity is based on a few simple rules:
- Code is not considered more complex when it uses shorthand that the language provides for collapsing multiple statements into one
- Code is considered more complex for each "break in the linear flow of the code"
- Code is considered more complex when "flow breaking structures are nested"

Duplicated Code
Duplicated code can lead to software that is hard to understand and difficult to change. The Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle states:
Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.
When you violate DRY, bugs and maintenance problems are sure to follow. Duplicated code has a tendency to both continue to replicate and also to diverge (leaving bugs as two similar implementations differ in subtle ways).
Tuning
This issue has a mass of 61.
We set useful threshold defaults for the languages we support but you may want to adjust these settings based on your project guidelines.
The threshold configuration represents the minimum mass a code block must have to be analyzed for duplication. The lower the threshold, the more fine-grained the comparison.
If the engine is too easily reporting duplication, try raising the threshold. If you suspect that the engine isn't catching enough duplication, try lowering the threshold. The best setting tends to differ from language to language.

Disallow empty destructuring patterns (no-empty-pattern)
When using destructuring, it's possible to create a pattern that has no effect. This happens when empty curly braces are used to the right of an embedded object destructuring pattern, such as:
// doesn't create any variables
var {a: {}} = foo;
In this code, no new variables are created because a
is just a location helper while the {}
is expected to contain the variables to create, such as:
// creates variable b
var {a: { b }} = foo;
In many cases, the empty object pattern is a mistake where the author intended to use a default value instead, such as:
// creates variable a
var {a = {}} = foo;
The difference between these two patterns is subtle, especially because the problematic empty pattern looks just like an object literal.
Rule Details
This rule aims to flag any empty patterns in destructured objects and arrays, and as such, will report a problem whenever one is encountered.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-empty-pattern: "error"*/
var {} = foo;
var [] = foo;
var {a: {}} = foo;
var {a: []} = foo;
function foo({}) {}
function foo([]) {}
function foo({a: {}}) {}
function foo({a: []}) {}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-empty-pattern: "error"*/
var {a = {}} = foo;
var {a = []} = foo;
function foo({a = {}}) {}
function foo({a = []}) {}

Disallow Unused Variables (no-unused-vars)
Variables that are declared and not used anywhere in the code are most likely an error due to incomplete refactoring. Such variables take up space in the code and can lead to confusion by readers.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at eliminating unused variables, functions, and function parameters.
A variable foo
is considered to be used if any of the following are true:
- It is called (
foo()
) or constructed (new foo()
) - It is read (
var bar = foo
) - It is passed into a function as an argument (
doSomething(foo)
) - It is read inside of a function that is passed to another function (
doSomething(function() { foo(); })
)
A variable is not considered to be used if it is only ever declared (var foo = 5
) or assigned to (foo = 7
).
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: "error"*/
/*global some_unused_var*/
// It checks variables you have defined as global
some_unused_var = 42;
var x;
// Write-only variables are not considered as used.
var y = 10;
y = 5;
// A read for a modification of itself is not considered as used.
var z = 0;
z = z + 1;
// By default, unused arguments cause warnings.
(function(foo) {
return 5;
})();
// Unused recursive functions also cause warnings.
function fact(n) {
if (n < 2) return 1;
return n * fact(n - 1);
}
// When a function definition destructures an array, unused entries from the array also cause warnings.
function getY([x, y]) {
return y;
}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: "error"*/
var x = 10;
alert(x);
// foo is considered used here
myFunc(function foo() {
// ...
}.bind(this));
(function(foo) {
return foo;
})();
var myFunc;
myFunc = setTimeout(function() {
// myFunc is considered used
myFunc();
}, 50);
// Only the second argument from the descructured array is used.
function getY([, y]) {
return y;
}
exported
In environments outside of CommonJS or ECMAScript modules, you may use var
to create a global variable that may be used by other scripts. You can use the /* exported variableName */
comment block to indicate that this variable is being exported and therefore should not be considered unused.
Note that /* exported */
has no effect for any of the following:
- when the environment is
node
orcommonjs
- when
parserOptions.sourceType
ismodule
- when
ecmaFeatures.globalReturn
istrue
The line comment // exported variableName
will not work as exported
is not line-specific.
Examples of correct code for /* exported variableName */
operation:
/* exported global_var */
var global_var = 42;
Options
This rule takes one argument which can be a string or an object. The string settings are the same as those of the vars
property (explained below).
By default this rule is enabled with all
option for variables and after-used
for arguments.
{
"rules": {
"no-unused-vars": ["error", { "vars": "all", "args": "after-used", "ignoreRestSiblings": false }]
}
}
vars
The vars
option has two settings:
-
all
checks all variables for usage, including those in the global scope. This is the default setting. -
local
checks only that locally-declared variables are used but will allow global variables to be unused.
vars: local
Examples of correct code for the { "vars": "local" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "vars": "local" }]*/
/*global some_unused_var */
some_unused_var = 42;
varsIgnorePattern
The varsIgnorePattern
option specifies exceptions not to check for usage: variables whose names match a regexp pattern. For example, variables whose names contain ignored
or Ignored
.
Examples of correct code for the { "varsIgnorePattern": "[iI]gnored" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "varsIgnorePattern": "[iI]gnored" }]*/
var firstVarIgnored = 1;
var secondVar = 2;
console.log(secondVar);
args
The args
option has three settings:
-
after-used
- unused positional arguments that occur before the last used argument will not be checked, but all named arguments and all positional arguments after the last used argument will be checked. -
all
- all named arguments must be used. -
none
- do not check arguments.
args: after-used
Examples of incorrect code for the default { "args": "after-used" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "args": "after-used" }]*/
// 2 errors, for the parameters after the last used parameter (bar)
// "baz" is defined but never used
// "qux" is defined but never used
(function(foo, bar, baz, qux) {
return bar;
})();
Examples of correct code for the default { "args": "after-used" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", {"args": "after-used"}]*/
(function(foo, bar, baz, qux) {
return qux;
})();
args: all
Examples of incorrect code for the { "args": "all" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "args": "all" }]*/
// 2 errors
// "foo" is defined but never used
// "baz" is defined but never used
(function(foo, bar, baz) {
return bar;
})();
args: none
Examples of correct code for the { "args": "none" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "args": "none" }]*/
(function(foo, bar, baz) {
return bar;
})();
ignoreRestSiblings
The ignoreRestSiblings
option is a boolean (default: false
). Using a Rest Property it is possible to "omit" properties from an object, but by default the sibling properties are marked as "unused". With this option enabled the rest property's siblings are ignored.
Examples of correct code for the { "ignoreRestSiblings": true }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "ignoreRestSiblings": true }]*/
// 'type' is ignored because it has a rest property sibling.
var { type, ...coords } = data;
argsIgnorePattern
The argsIgnorePattern
option specifies exceptions not to check for usage: arguments whose names match a regexp pattern. For example, variables whose names begin with an underscore.
Examples of correct code for the { "argsIgnorePattern": "^_" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "argsIgnorePattern": "^_" }]*/
function foo(x, _y) {
return x + 1;
}
foo();
caughtErrors
The caughtErrors
option is used for catch
block arguments validation.
It has two settings:
-
none
- do not check error objects. This is the default setting. -
all
- all named arguments must be used.
caughtErrors: none
Not specifying this rule is equivalent of assigning it to none
.
Examples of correct code for the { "caughtErrors": "none" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "caughtErrors": "none" }]*/
try {
//...
} catch (err) {
console.error("errors");
}
caughtErrors: all
Examples of incorrect code for the { "caughtErrors": "all" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "caughtErrors": "all" }]*/
// 1 error
// "err" is defined but never used
try {
//...
} catch (err) {
console.error("errors");
}
caughtErrorsIgnorePattern
The caughtErrorsIgnorePattern
option specifies exceptions not to check for usage: catch arguments whose names match a regexp pattern. For example, variables whose names begin with a string 'ignore'.
Examples of correct code for the { "caughtErrorsIgnorePattern": "^ignore" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "caughtErrorsIgnorePattern": "^ignore" }]*/
try {
//...
} catch (ignoreErr) {
console.error("errors");
}

require or disallow semicolons instead of ASI (semi)
JavaScript is unique amongst the C-like languages in that it doesn't require semicolons at the end of each statement. In many cases, the JavaScript engine can determine that a semicolon should be in a certain spot and will automatically add it. This feature is known as automatic semicolon insertion (ASI) and is considered one of the more controversial features of JavaScript. For example, the following lines are both valid:
var name = "ESLint"
var website = "eslint.org";
On the first line, the JavaScript engine will automatically insert a semicolon, so this is not considered a syntax error. The JavaScript engine still knows how to interpret the line and knows that the line end indicates the end of the statement.
In the debate over ASI, there are generally two schools of thought. The first is that we should treat ASI as if it didn't exist and always include semicolons manually. The rationale is that it's easier to always include semicolons than to try to remember when they are or are not required, and thus decreases the possibility of introducing an error.
However, the ASI mechanism can sometimes be tricky to people who are using semicolons. For example, consider this code:
return
{
name: "ESLint"
};
This may look like a return
statement that returns an object literal, however, the JavaScript engine will interpret this code as:
return;
{
name: "ESLint";
}
Effectively, a semicolon is inserted after the return
statement, causing the code below it (a labeled literal inside a block) to be unreachable. This rule and the [no-unreachable](no-unreachable.md) rule will protect your code from such cases.
On the other side of the argument are those who say that since semicolons are inserted automatically, they are optional and do not need to be inserted manually. However, the ASI mechanism can also be tricky to people who don't use semicolons. For example, consider this code:
var globalCounter = { }
(function () {
var n = 0
globalCounter.increment = function () {
return ++n
}
})()
In this example, a semicolon will not be inserted after the first line, causing a run-time error (because an empty object is called as if it's a function). The [no-unexpected-multiline](no-unexpected-multiline.md) rule can protect your code from such cases.
Although ASI allows for more freedom over your coding style, it can also make your code behave in an unexpected way, whether you use semicolons or not. Therefore, it is best to know when ASI takes place and when it does not, and have ESLint protect your code from these potentially unexpected cases. In short, as once described by Isaac Schlueter, a \n
character always ends a statement (just like a semicolon) unless one of the following is true:
- The statement has an unclosed paren, array literal, or object literal or ends in some other way that is not a valid way to end a statement. (For instance, ending with
.
or,
.) - The line is
--
or++
(in which case it will decrement/increment the next token.) - It is a
for()
,while()
,do
,if()
, orelse
, and there is no{
- The next line starts with
[
,(
,+
,*
,/
,-
,,
,.
, or some other binary operator that can only be found between two tokens in a single expression.
Rule Details
This rule enforces consistent use of semicolons.
Options
This rule has two options, a string option and an object option.
String option:
-
"always"
(default) requires semicolons at the end of statements -
"never"
disallows semicolons as the end of statements (except to disambiguate statements beginning with[
,(
,/
,+
, or-
)
Object option (when "always"
):
-
"omitLastInOneLineBlock": true
ignores the last semicolon in a block in which its braces (and therefore the content of the block) are in the same line
Object option (when "never"
):
-
"beforeStatementContinuationChars": "any"
(default) ignores semicolons (or lacking semicolon) at the end of statements if the next line starts with[
,(
,/
,+
, or-
. -
"beforeStatementContinuationChars": "always"
requires semicolons at the end of statements if the next line starts with[
,(
,/
,+
, or-
. -
"beforeStatementContinuationChars": "never"
disallows semicolons as the end of statements if it doesn't make ASI hazard even if the next line starts with[
,(
,/
,+
, or-
.

"no-unused-vars": ["error", { "vars": "all", "args": "after-used", "ignoreRestSiblings": false }]
}
}
vars
The vars
option has two settings:
-
all
checks all variables for usage, including those in the global scope. This is the default setting. -
local
checks only that locally-declared variables are used but will allow global variables to be unused.
vars: local
Examples of correct code for the { "vars": "local" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "vars": "local" }]*/
/*global some_unused_var */
some_unused_var = 42;
varsIgnorePattern
The varsIgnorePattern
option specifies exceptions not to check for usage: variables whose names match a regexp pattern. For example, variables whose names contain ignored
or Ignored
.
Examples of correct code for the { "varsIgnorePattern": "[iI]gnored" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "varsIgnorePattern": "[iI]gnored" }]*/
var firstVarIgnored = 1;
var secondVar = 2;
console.log(secondVar);
args
The args
option has three settings:
-
after-used
- unused positional arguments that occur before the last used argument will not be checked, but all named arguments and all positional arguments after the last used argument will be checked. -
all
- all named arguments must be used. -
none
- do not check arguments.
args: after-used
Examples of incorrect code for the default { "args": "after-used" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "args": "after-used" }]*/
// 2 errors, for the parameters after the last used parameter (bar)
// "baz" is defined but never used
// "qux" is defined but never used
(function(foo, bar, baz, qux) {
return bar;
})();
Examples of correct code for the default { "args": "after-used" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", {"args": "after-used"}]*/
(function(foo, bar, baz, qux) {
return qux;
})();
args: all
Examples of incorrect code for the { "args": "all" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "args": "all" }]*/
// 2 errors
// "foo" is defined but never used
// "baz" is defined but never used
(function(foo, bar, baz) {
return bar;
})();
args: none
Examples of correct code for the { "args": "none" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "args": "none" }]*/
(function(foo, bar, baz) {
return bar;
})();
ignoreRestSiblings
The ignoreRestSiblings
option is a boolean (default: false
). Using a Rest Property it is possible to "omit" properties from an object, but by default the sibling properties are marked as "unused". With this option enabled the rest property's siblings are ignored.
Examples of correct code for the { "ignoreRestSiblings": true }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "ignoreRestSiblings": true }]*/
// 'type' is ignored because it has a rest property sibling.
var { type, ...coords } = data;
argsIgnorePattern
The argsIgnorePattern
option specifies exceptions not to check for usage: arguments whose names match a regexp pattern. For example, variables whose names begin with an underscore.
Examples of correct code for the { "argsIgnorePattern": "^_" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "argsIgnorePattern": "^_" }]*/
function foo(x, _y) {
return x + 1;
}
foo();
caughtErrors
The caughtErrors
option is used for catch
block arguments validation.
It has two settings:
-
none
- do not check error objects. This is the default setting. -
all
- all named arguments must be used.
caughtErrors: none
Not specifying this rule is equivalent of assigning it to none
.
Examples of correct code for the { "caughtErrors": "none" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "caughtErrors": "none" }]*/
try {
//...
} catch (err) {
console.error("errors");
}
caughtErrors: all
Examples of incorrect code for the { "caughtErrors": "all" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "caughtErrors": "all" }]*/
// 1 error
// "err" is defined but never used
try {
//...
} catch (err) {
console.error("errors");
}
caughtErrorsIgnorePattern
The caughtErrorsIgnorePattern
option specifies exceptions not to check for usage: catch arguments whose names match a regexp pattern. For example, variables whose names begin with a string 'ignore'.
Examples of correct code for the { "caughtErrorsIgnorePattern": "^ignore" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "caughtErrorsIgnorePattern": "^ignore" }]*/
try {
//...
} catch (ignoreErr) {
console.error("errors");
}

require or disallow semicolons instead of ASI (semi)
JavaScript is unique amongst the C-like languages in that it doesn't require semicolons at the end of each statement. In many cases, the JavaScript engine can determine that a semicolon should be in a certain spot and will automatically add it. This feature is known as automatic semicolon insertion (ASI) and is considered one of the more controversial features of JavaScript. For example, the following lines are both valid:
var name = "ESLint"
var website = "eslint.org";
On the first line, the JavaScript engine will automatically insert a semicolon, so this is not considered a syntax error. The JavaScript engine still knows how to interpret the line and knows that the line end indicates the end of the statement.
In the debate over ASI, there are generally two schools of thought. The first is that we should treat ASI as if it didn't exist and always include semicolons manually. The rationale is that it's easier to always include semicolons than to try to remember when they are or are not required, and thus decreases the possibility of introducing an error.
However, the ASI mechanism can sometimes be tricky to people who are using semicolons. For example, consider this code:
return
{
name: "ESLint"
};
This may look like a return
statement that returns an object literal, however, the JavaScript engine will interpret this code as:
return;
{
name: "ESLint";
}
Effectively, a semicolon is inserted after the return
statement, causing the code below it (a labeled literal inside a block) to be unreachable. This rule and the [no-unreachable](no-unreachable.md) rule will protect your code from such cases.
On the other side of the argument are those who say that since semicolons are inserted automatically, they are optional and do not need to be inserted manually. However, the ASI mechanism can also be tricky to people who don't use semicolons. For example, consider this code:
var globalCounter = { }
(function () {
var n = 0
globalCounter.increment = function () {
return ++n
}
})()
In this example, a semicolon will not be inserted after the first line, causing a run-time error (because an empty object is called as if it's a function). The [no-unexpected-multiline](no-unexpected-multiline.md) rule can protect your code from such cases.
Although ASI allows for more freedom over your coding style, it can also make your code behave in an unexpected way, whether you use semicolons or not. Therefore, it is best to know when ASI takes place and when it does not, and have ESLint protect your code from these potentially unexpected cases. In short, as once described by Isaac Schlueter, a \n
character always ends a statement (just like a semicolon) unless one of the following is true:
- The statement has an unclosed paren, array literal, or object literal or ends in some other way that is not a valid way to end a statement. (For instance, ending with
.
or,
.) - The line is
--
or++
(in which case it will decrement/increment the next token.) - It is a
for()
,while()
,do
,if()
, orelse
, and there is no{
- The next line starts with
[

Disallow Unused Variables (no-unused-vars)
Variables that are declared and not used anywhere in the code are most likely an error due to incomplete refactoring. Such variables take up space in the code and can lead to confusion by readers.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at eliminating unused variables, functions, and function parameters.
A variable foo
is considered to be used if any of the following are true:
- It is called (
foo()
) or constructed (new foo()
) - It is read (
var bar = foo
) - It is passed into a function as an argument (
doSomething(foo)
) - It is read inside of a function that is passed to another function (
doSomething(function() { foo(); })
)
A variable is not considered to be used if it is only ever declared (var foo = 5
) or assigned to (foo = 7
).
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: "error"*/
/*global some_unused_var*/
// It checks variables you have defined as global
some_unused_var = 42;
var x;
// Write-only variables are not considered as used.
var y = 10;
y = 5;
// A read for a modification of itself is not considered as used.
var z = 0;
z = z + 1;
// By default, unused arguments cause warnings.
(function(foo) {
return 5;
})();
// Unused recursive functions also cause warnings.
function fact(n) {
if (n < 2) return 1;
return n * fact(n - 1);
}
// When a function definition destructures an array, unused entries from the array also cause warnings.
function getY([x, y]) {
return y;
}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: "error"*/
var x = 10;
alert(x);
// foo is considered used here
myFunc(function foo() {
// ...
}.bind(this));
(function(foo) {
return foo;
})();
var myFunc;
myFunc = setTimeout(function() {
// myFunc is considered used
myFunc();
}, 50);
// Only the second argument from the descructured array is used.
function getY([, y]) {
return y;
}
exported
In environments outside of CommonJS or ECMAScript modules, you may use var
to create a global variable that may be used by other scripts. You can use the /* exported variableName */
comment block to indicate that this variable is being exported and therefore should not be considered unused.
Note that /* exported */
has no effect for any of the following:
- when the environment is
node
orcommonjs
- when
parserOptions.sourceType
ismodule
- when
ecmaFeatures.globalReturn
istrue
The line comment // exported variableName
will not work as exported
is not line-specific.
Examples of correct code for /* exported variableName */
operation:
/* exported global_var */
var global_var = 42;
Options
This rule takes one argument which can be a string or an object. The string settings are the same as those of the vars
property (explained below).
By default this rule is enabled with all
option for variables and after-used
for arguments.
{
"rules": {
"no-unused-vars": ["error", { "vars": "all", "args": "after-used", "ignoreRestSiblings": false }]

vars
The vars
option has two settings:

Examples of correct code for the { "vars": "local" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "vars": "local" }]*/
/*global some_unused_var */
some_unused_var = 42;
varsIgnorePattern
The varsIgnorePattern
option specifies exceptions not to check for usage: variables whose names match a regexp pattern. For example, variables whose names contain ignored
or Ignored
.
Examples of correct code for the { "varsIgnorePattern": "[iI]gnored" }
option:
/*eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "varsIgnorePattern": "[iI]gnored" }]*/
var firstVarIgnored = 1;
var secondVar = 2;

- unused positional arguments that occur before the last used argument will not be checked, but all named arguments and all positional arguments after the last used argument will be checked. -
all
- all named arguments must be used. -

Rule Details
This rule enforces consistent use of semicolons.
Options
This rule has two options, a string option and an object option.
String option:
-
"always"
(default) requires semicolons at the end of statements -
"never"
disallows semicolons as the end of statements (except to disambiguate statements beginning with[
,(
,/
,+
, or-
)
Object option (when "always"
):
-
"omitLastInOneLineBlock": true
ignores the last semicolon in a block in which its braces (and therefore the content of the block) are in the same line
Object option (when "never"
):
-
"beforeStatementContinuationChars": "any"
(default) ignores semicolons (or lacking semicolon) at the end of statements if the next line starts with[
,(
,/
,+
, or-
. -
"beforeStatementContinuationChars": "always"
requires semicolons at the end of statements if the next line starts with[
,(
,/
,+
, or-
. -
"beforeStatementContinuationChars": "never"
disallows semicolons as the end of statements if it doesn't make ASI hazard even if the next line starts with[
,(

require or disallow semicolons instead of ASI (semi)
JavaScript is unique amongst the C-like languages in that it doesn't require semicolons at the end of each statement. In many cases, the JavaScript engine can determine that a semicolon should be in a certain spot and will automatically add it. This feature is known as automatic semicolon insertion (ASI) and is considered one of the more controversial features of JavaScript. For example, the following lines are both valid:
var name = "ESLint"
var website = "eslint.org";
On the first line, the JavaScript engine will automatically insert a semicolon, so this is not considered a syntax error. The JavaScript engine still knows how to interpret the line and knows that the line end indicates the end of the statement.
In the debate over ASI, there are generally two schools of thought. The first is that we should treat ASI as if it didn't exist and always include semicolons manually. The rationale is that it's easier to always include semicolons than to try to remember when they are or are not required, and thus decreases the possibility of introducing an error.
However, the ASI mechanism can sometimes be tricky to people who are using semicolons. For example, consider this code:
return
{
name: "ESLint"
};
This may look like a return
statement that returns an object literal, however, the JavaScript engine will interpret this code as:
return;
{
name: "ESLint";
}
Effectively, a semicolon is inserted after the return
statement, causing the code below it (a labeled literal inside a block) to be unreachable. This rule and the [no-unreachable](no-unreachable.md) rule will protect your code from such cases.
On the other side of the argument are those who say that since semicolons are inserted automatically, they are optional and do not need to be inserted manually. However, the ASI mechanism can also be tricky to people who don't use semicolons. For example, consider this code:
var globalCounter = { }
(function () {
var n = 0
globalCounter.increment = function () {
return ++n
}
})()
In this example, a semicolon will not be inserted after the first line, causing a run-time error (because an empty object is called as if it's a function). The [no-unexpected-multiline](no-unexpected-multiline.md) rule can protect your code from such cases.
Although ASI allows for more freedom over your coding style, it can also make your code behave in an unexpected way, whether you use semicolons or not. Therefore, it is best to know when ASI takes place and when it does not, and have ESLint protect your code from these potentially unexpected cases. In short, as once described by Isaac Schlueter, a \n
character always ends a statement (just like a semicolon) unless one of the following is true:
- The statement has an unclosed paren, array literal, or object literal or ends in some other way that is not a valid way to end a statement. (For instance, ending with
.
or,
.) - The line is
--
or++
(in which case it will decrement/increment the next token.) - It is a
for()
,while()
,do
,if()
, orelse
, and there is no{
- The next line starts with

, or some other binary operator that can only be found between two tokens in a single expression.
