I don’t think the description for rule JS-0098
is correct. It’s talking about return
statements, and doesn’t mention void
at all.
Description
A return;
statement with nothing after it is redundant, and has no effect on the runtime behavior of a function. This can be confusing, so it’s better to disallow these redundant statements.
Bad Practice
function foo() { return; }
function foo() {
doSomething();
return;
}
function foo() {
if (condition) {
bar();
return;
} else {
baz();
}
}
function foo() {
switch (bar) {
case 1:
doSomething();
default:
doSomethingElse();
return;
}
}
Recommended
function foo() { return 5; }
function foo() {
return doSomething();
}
function foo() {
if (condition) {
bar();
return;
} else {
baz();
}
qux();
}
function foo() {
switch (bar) {
case 1:
doSomething();
return;
default:
doSomethingElse();
}
}
function foo() {
for (const foo of bar) {
return;
}
}
