# no-extra-boolean-cast

Disallow unnecessary boolean casts.

In contexts where expression will be coerced to a Boolean (e.g. if), casting to a boolean (using !! or Boolean(expr)) is unnecessary.

# Invalid Code Examples

if (!!foo) {}
while (!!foo) {}
var foo = !!!bar;
var foo = Boolean(!!bar);

# Config

Name Type Description
enforceForLogicalOperands bool If this option is true, this rule will also check for unnecessary boolean
cast inside logical expression, which is disabled by default.

if (!!foo) {}
do {} while (!!foo)
while (!!foo) {}
!!foo ? bar : baz
for (; !!foo;) {}
!!!foo
Boolean(!!foo)
new Boolean(!!foo)
if (Boolean(foo)) {}
do {} while (Boolean(foo))
while (Boolean(foo)) {}
Boolean(foo) ? bar : baz

!Boolean(foo)
!Boolean(foo && bar)
!Boolean(foo + bar)

!Boolean(foo = bar)
!Boolean(...foo);
!Boolean(foo, bar());
!Boolean((foo, bar()));
!Boolean();
!(Boolean());
if (!Boolean()) { foo() }
while (!Boolean()) { foo() }
if (Boolean()) { foo() }
while (Boolean()) { foo() }
Boolean(Boolean(foo))
Boolean(!!foo, bar)

var foo = bar() ? !!baz : !!bat
for(!!foo;;) {}
for(;; !!foo) {}
var foo = Boolean(bar);
