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.

disallow unnecessary semicolons (no-extra-semi)
Typing mistakes and misunderstandings about where semicolons are required can lead to semicolons that are unnecessary. While not technically an error, extra semicolons can cause confusion when reading code.
Rule Details
This rule disallows unnecessary semicolons.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-extra-semi: "error"*/
var x = 5;;
function foo() {
// code
};
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-extra-semi: "error"*/
var x = 5;
var foo = function() {
// code
};
When Not To Use It
If you intentionally use extra semicolons 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)) {

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

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.

Disallow unnecessary concatenation of strings (no-useless-concat)
It's unnecessary to concatenate two strings together, such as:
var foo = "a" + "b";
This code is likely the result of refactoring where a variable was removed from the concatenation (such as "a" + b + "b"
). In such a case, the concatenation isn't important and the code can be rewritten as:
var foo = "ab";
Rule Details
This rule aims to flag the concatenation of 2 literals when they could be combined into a single literal. Literals can be strings or template literals.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-useless-concat: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
// these are the same as "10"
var a = `some` + `string`;
var a = '1' + '0';
var a = '1' + `0`;
var a = `1` + '0';
var a = `1` + `0`;
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-useless-concat: "error"*/
// when a non string is included
var c = a + b;
var c = '1' + a;
var a = 1 + '1';
var c = 1 - 2;
// when the string concatenation is multiline
var c = "foo" +
"bar";
When Not To Use It
If you don't want to be notified about unnecessary string concatenation, you can safely disable this rule. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/
