Limit Cyclomatic Complexity (complexity)
Cyclomatic complexity measures the number of linearly independent paths through a program's source code. This rule allows setting a cyclomatic complexity threshold.
function a(x) {
if (true) {
return x; // 1st path
} else if (false) {
return x+1; // 2nd path
} else {
return 4; // 3rd path
}
}
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at reducing code complexity by capping the amount of cyclomatic complexity allowed in a program. As such, it will warn when the cyclomatic complexity crosses the configured threshold (default is 20
).
Examples of incorrect code for a maximum of 2:
/*eslint complexity: ["error", 2]*/
function a(x) {
if (true) {
return x;
} else if (false) {
return x+1;
} else {
return 4; // 3rd path
}
}
Examples of correct code for a maximum of 2:
/*eslint complexity: ["error", 2]*/
function a(x) {
if (true) {
return x;
} else {
return 4;
}
}
Options
Optionally, you may specify a max
object property:
"complexity": ["error", 2]
is equivalent to
"complexity": ["error", { "max": 2 }]
Deprecated: the object property maximum
is deprecated. Please use the property max
instead.
When Not To Use It
If you can't determine an appropriate complexity limit for your code, then it's best to disable this rule.

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"

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:
-
"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.

, Array
, Number
...
builtinGlobals

option and the browser
environment:
/*eslint no-redeclare: ["error", { "builtinGlobals": true }]*/
/*eslint-env browser*/
