no-magic-numbers

Disallow magic numbers.

This rule extends the base eslint/no-magic-numbers rule. It adds support for:

  • numeric literal types (type T = 1),
  • enum members (enum Foo { bar = 1 }),
  • readonly class properties (class Foo { readonly bar = 1 }).

How to Use​

.eslintrc.cjs
module.exports = {
  "rules": {
    // Note: you must disable the base rule as it can report incorrect errors
    "no-magic-numbers": "off",
    "@typescript-eslint/no-magic-numbers": "error"
  }
};
Try this rule in the playground ↗

This rule adds the following options:

interface Options extends BaseNoMagicNumbersOptions {
  ignoreEnums?: boolean;
  ignoreNumericLiteralTypes?: boolean;
  ignoreReadonlyClassProperties?: boolean;
  ignoreTypeIndexes?: boolean;
}

const defaultOptions: Options = {
  ...baseNoMagicNumbersDefaultOptions,
  ignoreEnums: false,
  ignoreNumericLiteralTypes: false,
  ignoreReadonlyClassProperties: false,
  ignoreTypeIndexes: false,
};
