Disallow boolean literals in conditional expressions (no-unneeded-ternary)
It’s a common mistake in JavaScript to use a conditional expression to select between two Boolean values instead of using ! to convert the test to a Boolean. Here are some examples:
// Bad
var isYes = answer === 1 ? true : false;
// Good
var isYes = answer === 1;
// Bad
var isNo = answer === 1 ? false : true;
// Good
var isYes = answer !== 1;
This rule disallows the use of ‘Boolean’ literals inside conditional expressions.
Rule Details
This rule enforces a coding style where it disallows the use of Boolean literals inside conditional expressions.
The following patterns are considered warnings:
var a = x === 2 ? true : false;
var a = x ? true : false;
The following patterns are not considered warnings:
var a = x === 2 ? "Yes" : "No";
var a = x !== false;
When Not To Use It
You can turn this rule off if you are not concerned with booleans in conditional expressions.
Version
This rule was introduced in ESLint 0.21.0.
