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"

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.

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 ===

Examples of correct code for the "smart"
option:
/*eslint eqeqeq: ["error", "smart"]*/

0 == 0
true == true
foo == 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.

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) {

}
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.

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.

It's not necessary to initialize 'x' to undefined. Open
var x = undefined;
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Disallow Initializing to undefined (no-undef-init)
In JavaScript, a variable that is declared and not initialized to any value automatically gets the value of undefined
. For example:
var foo;
console.log(foo === undefined); // true
It's therefore unnecessary to initialize a variable to undefined
, such as:
var foo = undefined;
It's considered a best practice to avoid initializing variables to undefined
.
Rule Details
This rule aims to eliminate variable declarations that initialize to undefined
.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-undef-init: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo = undefined;
let bar = undefined;
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-undef-init: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
var foo;
let bar;
const baz = undefined;
When Not To Use It
There is one situation where initializing to undefined
behaves differently than omitting the initialization, and that's when a var
declaration occurs inside of a loop. For example:
Example of incorrect code for this rule:
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
var x = undefined;
console.log(x);
x = i;
}
In this case, the var x
is hoisted out of the loop, effectively creating:
var x;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
x = undefined;
console.log(x);
x = i;
}
If you were to remove the initialization, then the behavior of the loop changes:
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
var x;
console.log(x);
x = i;
}
This code is equivalent to:
var x;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
console.log(x);
x = i;
}
This produces a different outcome than defining var x = undefined
in the loop, as x
is no longer reset to undefined
each time through the loop.
If you're using such an initialization inside of a loop, then you should disable this rule.
Example of correct code for this rule, because it is disabled on a specific line:
/*eslint no-undef-init: "error"*/
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
var x = undefined; // eslint-disable-line no-undef-init
console.log(x);
x = i;
}

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

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.

- Comparing two literal values
- Evaluating the value of

The reason for this is that ==

For instance, the following statements are all considered true

If one of those occurs in an innocent-looking statement such as a == b

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);
}

}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default ["callback", "cb", "next"]
option:

if (err) {
return callback(err);
}

}
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.

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

Expected return with your callback function. Open
cb(o);

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.

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"*/

Options
This rule takes one optional argument, an object with a boolean property "builtinGlobals"
. It defaults to false
.

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

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.

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]).
Examples of incorrect code for the "always"

-
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:

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"*/

The callback pattern is at the heart of most I/O and event-driven programming in JavaScript.
function doSomething(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

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);

}
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"]

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.

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) {

}
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.

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)) {

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.

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 }]*/

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

The browser
environment has many built-in global variables (for example, top
). Some of built-in global variables cannot be redeclared.

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 83.
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.

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 50.
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.
