typescript/no-duplicate-enum-values Correctness

✅ This rule is turned on by default.

What it does

Disallow duplicate enum member values.

Why is this bad?

Although TypeScript supports duplicate enum member values, people usually expect members to have unique values within the same enum. Duplicate values can lead to bugs that are hard to track down.

Examples

This rule disallows defining an enum with multiple members initialized to the same value. Members without initializers will not be checked.

Example of incorrect code:

enum E {
  A = 0,
  B = 0,
}

enum E {
  A = "A",
  B = "A",
}

Example of correct code:

enum E {
  A = 0,
  B = 1,
}

enum E {
  A = "A",
  B = "B",
}

enum E {
  A,
  B,
}

How to use

To enable this rule in the CLI or using the config file, you can use:

CLI

oxlint --deny typescript/no-duplicate-enum-values

Config (.oxlintrc.json)

{
  "rules": {
    "typescript/no-duplicate-enum-values": "error"
  }
}
