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
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:
-

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 ===

Disallow unnecessary .call()
and .apply()
. (no-useless-call)
The function invocation can be written by Function.prototype.call()
and Function.prototype.apply()
.
But Function.prototype.call()
and Function.prototype.apply()
are slower than the normal function invocation.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed to flag usage of Function.prototype.call()
and Function.prototype.apply()
that can be replaced with the normal function invocation.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-useless-call: "error"*/
// These are same as `foo(1, 2, 3);`
foo.call(undefined, 1, 2, 3);
foo.apply(undefined, [1, 2, 3]);
foo.call(null, 1, 2, 3);
foo.apply(null, [1, 2, 3]);
// These are same as `obj.foo(1, 2, 3);`
obj.foo.call(obj, 1, 2, 3);
obj.foo.apply(obj, [1, 2, 3]);
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-useless-call: "error"*/
// The `this` binding is different.
foo.call(obj, 1, 2, 3);
foo.apply(obj, [1, 2, 3]);
obj.foo.call(null, 1, 2, 3);
obj.foo.apply(null, [1, 2, 3]);
obj.foo.call(otherObj, 1, 2, 3);
obj.foo.apply(otherObj, [1, 2, 3]);
// The argument list is variadic.
foo.apply(undefined, args);
foo.apply(null, args);
obj.foo.apply(obj, args);
Known Limitations
This rule compares code statically to check whether or not thisArg
is changed.
So if the code about thisArg
is a dynamic expression, this rule cannot judge correctly.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-useless-call: "error"*/
a[i++].foo.call(a[i++], 1, 2, 3);
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-useless-call: "error"*/
a[++i].foo.call(a[i], 1, 2, 3);
When Not To Use It
If you don't want to be notified about unnecessary .call()
and .apply()
, you can safely disable this rule.

Unexpected require(). Open
module.exports = factory(require('jquery'), require('sifter'), require('microplugin'));
- Read upRead up

Enforce require() on the top-level module scope (global-require)
In Node.js, module dependencies are included using the require()
function, such as:
var fs = require("fs");
While require()
may be called anywhere in code, some style guides prescribe that it should be called only in the top level of a module to make it easier to identify dependencies. For instance, it's arguably harder to identify dependencies when they are deeply nested inside of functions and other statements:
function foo() {
if (condition) {
var fs = require("fs");
}
}
Since require()
does a synchronous load, it can cause performance problems when used in other locations.
Further, ES6 modules mandate that import
and export
statements can only occur in the top level of the module's body.
Rule Details
This rule requires all calls to require()
to be at the top level of the module, similar to ES6 import
and export
statements, which also can occur only at the top level.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint global-require: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
// calling require() inside of a function is not allowed
function readFile(filename, callback) {
var fs = require('fs');
fs.readFile(filename, callback)
}
// conditional requires like this are also not allowed
if (DEBUG) { require('debug'); }
// a require() in a switch statement is also flagged
switch(x) { case '1': require('1'); break; }
// you may not require() inside an arrow function body
var getModule = (name) => require(name);
// you may not require() inside of a function body as well
function getModule(name) { return require(name); }
// you may not require() inside of a try/catch block
try {
require(unsafeModule);
} catch(e) {
console.log(e);
}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint global-require: "error"*/
// all these variations of require() are ok
require('x');
var y = require('y');
var z;
z = require('z').initialize();
// requiring a module and using it in a function is ok
var fs = require('fs');
function readFile(filename, callback) {
fs.readFile(filename, callback)
}
// you can use a ternary to determine which module to require
var logger = DEBUG ? require('dev-logger') : require('logger');
// if you want you can require() at the end of your module
function doSomethingA() {}
function doSomethingB() {}
var x = require("x"),
z = require("z");
When Not To Use It
If you have a module that must be initialized with information that comes from the file-system or if a module is only used in very rare situations and will cause significant overhead to load it may make sense to disable the rule. If you need to require()
an optional dependency inside of a try
/catch
, you can disable this rule for just that dependency using the // eslint-disable-line global-require
comment.

Require IIFEs to be Wrapped (wrap-iife)
You can immediately invoke function expressions, but not function declarations. A common technique to create an immediately-invoked function expression (IIFE) is to wrap a function declaration in parentheses. The opening parentheses causes the contained function to be parsed as an expression, rather than a declaration.
// function expression could be unwrapped
var x = function () { return { y: 1 };}();
// function declaration must be wrapped
function () { /* side effects */ }(); // SyntaxError
Rule Details
This rule requires all immediately-invoked function expressions to be wrapped in parentheses.
Options
This rule has two options, a string option and an object option.
String option:
-
"outside"
enforces always wrapping the call expression. The default is"outside"
. -
"inside"
enforces always wrapping the function expression. -
"any"
enforces always wrapping, but allows either style.
Object option:
-
"functionPrototypeMethods": true
additionally enforces wrapping function expressions invoked using.call
and.apply
. The default isfalse
.
outside

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.

Require IIFEs to be Wrapped (wrap-iife)
You can immediately invoke function expressions, but not function declarations. A common technique to create an immediately-invoked function expression (IIFE) is to wrap a function declaration in parentheses. The opening parentheses causes the contained function to be parsed as an expression, rather than a declaration.
// function expression could be unwrapped
var x = function () { return { y: 1 };}();
// function declaration must be wrapped
function () { /* side effects */ }(); // SyntaxError
Rule Details
This rule requires all immediately-invoked function expressions to be wrapped in parentheses.
Options
This rule has two options, a string option and an object option.
String option:
-
"outside"
enforces always wrapping the call expression. The default is"outside"
. -
"inside"
enforces always wrapping the function expression. -
"any"
enforces always wrapping, but allows either style.
Object option:
-
"functionPrototypeMethods": true
additionally enforces wrapping function expressions invoked using.call
and.apply
. The default isfalse
.
outside
Examples of incorrect code for the default "outside"

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 ("" == 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

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]).

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.

Expected return with your callback function. Open

Enforce Return After Callback (callback-return)
The callback pattern is at the heart of most I/O and event-driven programming in JavaScript.
function doSomething(err, callback) {
if (err) {
return callback(err);
}
callback();
}
To prevent calling the callback multiple times it is important to return
anytime the callback is triggered outside
of the main function body. Neglecting this technique often leads to issues where you do something more than once.
For example, in the case of an HTTP request, you may try to send HTTP headers more than once leading Node.js to throw
a Can't render headers after they are sent to the client.
error.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at ensuring that callbacks used outside of the main function block are always part-of or immediately
preceding a return
statement. This rule decides what is a callback based on the name of the function being called.
Options
The rule takes a single option - an array of possible callback names - which may include object methods. The default callback names are callback
, cb
, next
.
Default callback names
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default ["callback", "cb", "next"]
option:
/*eslint callback-return: "error"*/
function foo(err, callback) {
if (err) {
callback(err);
}
callback();
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default ["callback", "cb", "next"]
option:
/*eslint callback-return: "error"*/
function foo(err, callback) {
if (err) {
return callback(err);
}
callback();
}
Supplied callback names
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the option ["done", "send.error", "send.success"]
:
/*eslint callback-return: ["error", ["done", "send.error", "send.success"]]*/
function foo(err, done) {
if (err) {
done(err);
}
done();
}
function bar(err, send) {
if (err) {
send.error(err);
}
send.success();
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the option ["done", "send.error", "send.success"]
:
/*eslint callback-return: ["error", ["done", "send.error", "send.success"]]*/
function foo(err, done) {
if (err) {
return done(err);
}
done();
}
function bar(err, send) {
if (err) {
return send.error(err);
}
send.success();
}
Known Limitations
Because it is difficult to understand the meaning of a program through static analysis, this rule has limitations:
- false negatives when this rule reports correct code, but the program calls the callback more than one time (which is incorrect behavior)
- false positives when this rule reports incorrect code, but the program calls the callback only one time (which is correct behavior)
Passing the callback by reference
The static analysis of this rule does not detect that the program calls the callback if it is an argument of a function (for example, setTimeout
).
Example of a false negative when this rule reports correct code:
/*eslint callback-return: "error"*/
function foo(err, callback) {
if (err) {
setTimeout(callback, 0); // this is bad, but WILL NOT warn
}
callback();
}
Triggering the callback within a nested function
The static analysis of this rule does not detect that the program calls the callback from within a nested function or an immediately-invoked function expression (IIFE).
Example of a false negative when this rule reports correct code:
/*eslint callback-return: "error"*/
function foo(err, callback) {
if (err) {
process.nextTick(function() {
return callback(); // this is bad, but WILL NOT warn
});
}
callback();
}
If/else statements
The static analysis of this rule does not detect that the program calls the callback only one time in each branch of an if
statement.
Example of a false positive when this rule reports incorrect code:
/*eslint callback-return: "error"*/
function foo(err, callback) {
if (err) {
callback(err); // this is fine, but WILL warn
} else {
callback(); // this is fine, but WILL warn
}
}
When Not To Use It
There are some cases where you might want to call a callback function more than once. In those cases this rule may lead to incorrect behavior. In those cases you may want to reserve a special name for those callbacks and not include that in the list of callbacks that trigger warnings.
