eslint/prefer-object-has-own Style

🛠️ An auto-fix is available for this rule for some violations.

What it does

Disallow use of Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call() and prefer use of Object.hasOwn()

Why is this bad?

It is very common to write code like:

javascript
if (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(object, "foo")) {
  console.log("has property foo");
}

This is a common practice because methods on Object.prototype can sometimes be unavailable or redefined (see the no-prototype-builtins rule). Introduced in ES2022, Object.hasOwn() is a shorter alternative to Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call():

javascript
if (Object.hasOwn(object, "foo")) {
  console.log("has property foo");
}

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

js
Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(obj, "a");
Object.hasOwnProperty.call(obj, "a");
({}).hasOwnProperty.call(obj, "a");
const hasProperty = Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(object, property);

Examples of correct code for this rule:

js
Object.hasOwn(obj, "a");
const hasProperty = Object.hasOwn(object, property);
