unicorn/consistent-empty-array-spread Pedantic

💡 A suggestion is available for this rule.

What it does

When spreading a ternary in an array, we can use both [] and '' as fallbacks, but it's better to have consistent types in both branches.

Why is this bad?

Having consistent types in both branches makes the code easier to read and understand.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

javascript
const array = [a, ...(foo ? [b, c] : "")];

const array = [a, ...(foo ? "bc" : [])];

Examples of correct code for this rule:

javascript
const array = [a, ...(foo ? [b, c] : [])];

const array = [a, ...(foo ? "bc" : "")];

How to use

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

bash
oxlint --deny unicorn/consistent-empty-array-spread
json
{
  "rules": {
    "unicorn/consistent-empty-array-spread": "error"
  }
}
