Disallow duplicate name in class members (no-dupe-class-members)

If there are declarations of the same name in class members, the last declaration overwrites other declarations silently. It can cause unexpected behaviors.

/*eslint-env es6*/

class Foo {
  bar() { console.log("hello"); }
  bar() { console.log("goodbye"); }
}

var foo = new Foo();
foo.bar(); // goodbye

Rule Details

This rule is aimed to flag the use of duplicate names in class members.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/*eslint no-dupe-class-members: "error"*/

class Foo {
  bar() { }
  bar() { }
}

class Foo {
  bar() { }
  get bar() { }
}

class Foo {
  bar;
  bar;
}

class Foo {
  bar;
  bar() { }
}

class Foo {
  static bar() { }
  static bar() { }
}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

/*eslint no-dupe-class-members: "error"*/

class Foo {
  bar() { }
  qux() { }
}

class Foo {
  get bar() { }
  set bar(value) { }
}

class Foo {
  bar;
  qux;
}

class Foo {
  bar;
  qux() { }
}

class Foo {
  static bar() { }
  bar() { }
}

When Not To Use It

This rule should not be used in ES3/5 environments.

In ES2015 (ES6) or later, if you don't want to be notified about duplicate names in class members, you can safely disable this rule.

It's also safe to disable this rule when using TypeScript because TypeScript's compiler already checks for duplicate function implementations.
