Suggest using arrow functions as callbacks. (prefer-arrow-callback)
Arrow functions are suited to callbacks, because:
-
this
keywords in arrow functions bind to the upper scope's. - The notation of the arrow function is shorter than function expression's.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed to flag usage of function expressions in an argument list.
The following patterns are considered problems:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: "error"*/
foo(function(a) { return a; });
foo(function() { return this.a; }.bind(this));
The following patterns are not considered problems:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: "error"*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
foo(a => a);
foo(function*() { yield; });
// this is not a callback.
var foo = function foo(a) { return a; };
// using `this` without `.bind(this)`.
foo(function() { return this.a; });
// recursively.
foo(function bar(n) { return n && n + bar(n - 1); });
Options
This rule takes one optional argument, an object which is an options object.
allowNamedFunctions
This is a boolean
option and it is false
by default. When set to true
, the rule doesn't warn on named functions used as callbacks.
Examples of correct code for the { "allowNamedFunctions": true }
option:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: ["error", { "allowNamedFunctions": true }]*/
foo(function bar() {});
allowUnboundThis
This is a boolean
option and it is true
by default. When set to false
, this option allows the use of this
without restriction and checks for dynamically assigned this
values such as when using Array.prototype.map
with a context
argument. Normally, the rule will flag the use of this
whenever a function does not use bind()
to specify the value of this
constantly.
Examples of incorrect code for the { "allowUnboundThis": false }
option:
/*eslint prefer-arrow-callback: ["error", { "allowUnboundThis": false }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
foo(function() { this.a; });
foo(function() { (() => this); });
someArray.map(function (itm) { return this.doSomething(itm); }, someObject);
When Not To Use It
This rule should not be used in ES3/5 environments.
In ES2015 (ES6) or later, if you don't want to be notified about function expressions in an argument list, you can safely disable this rule. Source: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/

Require Variable Declarations to be at the top of their scope (vars-on-top)
The vars-on-top
rule generates warnings when variable declarations are not used serially at the top of a function scope or the top of a program.
By default variable declarations are always moved (“hoisted”) invisibly to the top of their containing scope by the JavaScript interpreter.
This rule forces the programmer to represent that behaviour by manually moving the variable declaration to the top of its containing scope.
Rule Details
This rule aims to keep all variable declarations in the leading series of statements. Allowing multiple declarations helps promote maintainability and is thus allowed.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint vars-on-top: "error"*/
// Variable declarations in a block:
function doSomething() {
var first;
if (true) {
first = true;
}
var second;
}
// Variable declaration in for initializer:
function doSomething() {
for (var i=0; i<10; i++) {}
}
/*eslint vars-on-top: "error"*/
// Variables after other statements:
f();
var a;
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint vars-on-top: "error"*/
function doSomething() {
var first;
var second; //multiple declarations are allowed at the top
if (true) {
first = true;
}
}
function doSomething() {
var i;
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {}
}
/*eslint vars-on-top: "error"*/
var a;

/*eslint vars-on-top: "error"*/
// Directives may precede variable declarations.

disallow the use of console
(no-console)
In JavaScript that is designed to be executed in the browser, it's considered a best practice to avoid using methods on console
. Such messages are considered to be for debugging purposes and therefore not suitable to ship to the client. In general, calls using console
should be stripped before being pushed to production.
console.log("Made it here.");
console.error("That shouldn't have happened.");
Rule Details
This rule disallows calls to methods of the console
object.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-console: "error"*/
console.log("Log a debug level message.");
console.warn("Log a warn level message.");
console.error("Log an error level message.");
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-console: "error"*/
// custom console
Console.log("Hello world!");
Options
This rule has an object option for exceptions:

"allow"
has an array of strings which are allowed methods of theconsole
object

When Not To Use It
If you're using Node.js, however, console
is used to output information to the user and so is not strictly used for debugging purposes. If you are developing for Node.js then you most likely do not want this rule enabled.

Require or disallow a space before function parenthesis (space-before-function-paren)
When formatting a function, whitespace is allowed between the function name or function
keyword and the opening paren. Named functions also require a space between the function
keyword and the function name, but anonymous functions require no whitespace. For example:
function withoutSpace(x) {
// ...
}
function withSpace (x) {
// ...
}
var anonymousWithoutSpace = function() {};
var anonymousWithSpace = function () {};
Style guides may require a space after the function
keyword for anonymous functions, while others specify no whitespace. Similarly, the space after a function name may or may not be required.
Rule Details
This rule aims to enforce consistent spacing before function parentheses and as such, will warn whenever whitespace doesn't match the preferences specified.
Options
This rule has a string option or an object option:
{
"space-before-function-paren": ["error", "always"],
// or
"space-before-function-paren": ["error", {
"anonymous": "always",
"named": "always",
"asyncArrow": "ignore"
}],
}
-
always
(default) requires a space followed by the(
of arguments. -
never
disallows any space followed by the(
of arguments.
The string option does not check async arrow function expressions for backward compatibility.
You can also use a separate option for each type of function.
Each of the following options can be set to "always"
, "never"
, or "ignore"
.
Default is "always"
basically.
-
anonymous
is for anonymous function expressions (e.g.function () {}
). -
named
is for named function expressions (e.g.function foo () {}
). -
asyncArrow
is for async arrow function expressions (e.g.async () => {}
).asyncArrow
is set to"ignore"
by default for backwards compatibility.

Missing trailing comma. Open
'Tenode configuration file'
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
require or disallow trailing commas (comma-dangle)
Trailing commas in object literals are valid according to the ECMAScript 5 (and ECMAScript 3!) spec. However, IE8 (when not in IE8 document mode) and below will throw an error when it encounters trailing commas in JavaScript.
var foo = {
bar: "baz",
qux: "quux",
};
Trailing commas simplify adding and removing items to objects and arrays, since only the lines you are modifying must be touched. Another argument in favor of trailing commas is that it improves the clarity of diffs when an item is added or removed from an object or array:
Less clear:
var foo = {
- bar: "baz",
- qux: "quux"
+ bar: "baz"
};
More clear:
var foo = {
bar: "baz",
- qux: "quux",
};
Rule Details
This rule enforces consistent use of trailing commas in object and array literals.
Options
This rule has a string option or an object option:
{
"comma-dangle": ["error", "never"],
// or
"comma-dangle": ["error", {
"arrays": "never",
"objects": "never",
"imports": "never",
"exports": "never",
"functions": "ignore",
}]
}
-
"never"
(default) disallows trailing commas -
"always"
requires trailing commas -
"always-multiline"
requires trailing commas when the last element or property is in a different line than the closing]
or}
and disallows trailing commas when the last element or property is on the same line as the closing]
or}
-
"only-multiline"
allows (but does not require) trailing commas when the last element or property is in a different line than the closing]
or}
and disallows trailing commas when the last element or property is on the same line as the closing]
or}
Trailing commas in function declarations and function calls are valid syntax since ECMAScript 2017; however, the string option does not check these situations for backwards compatibility.
You can also use an object option to configure this rule for each type of syntax.
Each of the following options can be set to "never"
, "always"
, "always-multiline"
, "only-multiline"
, or "ignore"
.
The default for each option is "never"
unless otherwise specified.
-
arrays
is for array literals and array patterns of destructuring. (e.g.let [a,] = [1,];
) -
objects
is for object literals and object patterns of destructuring. (e.g.let {a,} = {a: 1};
) -
imports
is for import declarations of ES Modules. (e.g.import {a,} from "foo";
) -
exports
is for export declarations of ES Modules. (e.g.export {a,};
) -
functions
is for function declarations and function calls. (e.g.(function(a,){ })(b,);
)
functions

Require or disallow named function
expressions (func-names)
A pattern that's becoming more common is to give function expressions names to aid in debugging. For example:
Foo.prototype.bar = function bar() {};
Adding the second bar
in the above example is optional. If you leave off the function name then when the function throws an exception you are likely to get something similar to anonymous function
in the stack trace. If you provide the optional name for a function expression then you will get the name of the function expression in the stack trace.
Rule Details
This rule can enforce or disallow the use of named function expressions.
Options
This rule has a string option:
-
"always"
(default) requires function expressions to have a name -
"as-needed"
requires function expressions to have a name, if the name cannot be assigned automatically in an ES6 environment -
"never"
disallows named function expressions, except in recursive functions, where a name is needed

property on all functions. The value of name
is determined by evaluating the code around the function to see if a name can be inferred. For example, a function assigned to a variable will automatically have a name
property equal to the name of the variable. The value of name
is then used in stack traces for easier debugging.

disallow dangling underscores in identifiers (no-underscore-dangle)
As far as naming conventions for identifiers go, dangling underscores may be the most polarizing in JavaScript. Dangling underscores are underscores at either the beginning or end of an identifier, such as:
var _foo;
There is actually a long history of using dangling underscores to indicate "private" members of objects in JavaScript (though JavaScript doesn't have truly private members, this convention served as a warning). This began with SpiderMonkey adding nonstandard methods such as __defineGetter__()
. The intent with the underscores was to make it obvious that this method was special in some way. Since that time, using a single underscore prefix has become popular as a way to indicate "private" members of objects.
Whether or not you choose to allow dangling underscores in identifiers is purely a convention and has no effect on performance, readability, or complexity. It's purely a preference.
Rule Details
This rule disallows dangling underscores in identifiers.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-underscore-dangle: "error"*/
var foo_;
var __proto__ = {};
foo._bar();
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-underscore-dangle: "error"*/
var _ = require('underscore');
var obj = _.contains(items, item);
obj.__proto__ = {};
var file = __filename;
Options
This rule has an object option:
-
"allow"
allows specified identifiers to have dangling underscores -
"allowAfterThis": false
(default) disallows dangling underscores in members of thethis
object -
"allowAfterSuper": false
(default) disallows dangling underscores in members of thesuper
object
allow
Examples of additional correct code for this rule with the { "allow": ["foo_", "_bar"] }
option:
/*eslint no-underscore-dangle: ["error", { "allow": ["foo_", "_bar"] }]*/
var foo_;
foo._bar();
allowAfterThis
Examples of correct code for this rule with the { "allowAfterThis": true }
option:

disallow the use of console
(no-console)
In JavaScript that is designed to be executed in the browser, it's considered a best practice to avoid using methods on console
. Such messages are considered to be for debugging purposes and therefore not suitable to ship to the client. In general, calls using console
should be stripped before being pushed to production.
console.log("Made it here.");
console.error("That shouldn't have happened.");
Rule Details
This rule disallows calls to methods of the console
object.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-console: "error"*/
console.log("Log a debug level message.");
console.warn("Log a warn level message.");
console.error("Log an error level message.");
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-console: "error"*/
// custom console
Console.log("Hello world!");
Options
This rule has an object option for exceptions:
-
"allow"
has an array of strings which are allowed methods of theconsole
object
Examples of additional correct code for this rule with a sample { "allow": ["warn", "error"] }
option:
/*eslint no-console: ["error", { allow: ["warn", "error"] }] */
console.warn("Log a warn level message.");
console.error("Log an error level message.");
When Not To Use It
If you're using Node.js, however, console
is used to output information to the user and so is not strictly used for debugging purposes. If you are developing for Node.js then you most likely do not want this rule enabled.

require or disallow newline at the end of files (eol-last)
Trailing newlines in non-empty files are a common UNIX idiom. Benefits of trailing newlines include the ability to concatenate or append to files as well as output files to the terminal without interfering with shell prompts.
Rule Details
This rule enforces at least one newline (or absence thereof) at the end of non-empty files.
Prior to v0.16.0 this rule also enforced that there was only a single line at
the end of the file. If you still want this behaviour, consider enabling
[no-multiple-empty-lines](no-multiple-empty-lines.md) with maxEOF
and/or
[no-trailing-spaces](no-trailing-spaces.md).

Options
This rule has a string option:

(deprecated) is identical to "always", but will use a CRLF character when autofixing
Deprecated: The options "unix"

are deprecated. If you need to enforce a specific linebreak style, use this rule in conjunction with linebreak-style
.

ECMAScript 6 allows programmers to create variables with block scope instead of function scope using the let
and const
keywords. Block scope is common in many other programming languages and helps programmers avoid mistakes
such as:
var count = people.length;
var enoughFood = count > sandwiches.length;
if (enoughFood) {
var count = sandwiches.length; // accidentally overriding the count variable
console.log("We have " + count + " sandwiches for everyone. Plenty for all!");
}
// our count variable is no longer accurate
console.log("We have " + count + " people and " + sandwiches.length + " sandwiches!");
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at discouraging the use of var
and encouraging the use of const
or let
instead.

In addition to non-ES6 environments, existing JavaScript projects that are beginning to introduce ES6 into their
codebase may not want to apply this rule if the cost of migrating from var
