⏎ Lint Rules

noConstructorReturn (since v11.0.0)

Disallow returning a value from a constructor

While returning a value from a constructor does not produce an error, the returned value is being ignored. Therefore, returning a value from a constructor is either unnecessary or a possible error.

Only returning without a value is allowed, as it’s a control flow statement.

Examples

Invalid

class A {
    constructor() {
        return 0;
    }
}
