Lint Rules

noDoubleEquals (since v0.7.0)

This rule is recommended by Rome.

Require the use of === and !==

It is generally bad practice to use == for comparison instead of ===. Double operators will triger implicit type coercion and are thus not prefered. Using strict equality operators is almost always best practice.

For ergonomic reasons, this rule makes an exception for == null for comparing to both null and undefined.

Examples

Invalid

foo == bar
