eslint-plugin-jsx-falsy

Avoid accidentally rendering falsy values in your JSX. Only works with @typescript-eslint/parser, and uses type information.

Exposes a single eslint rule, no-falsy-and, that errors if the left side of an inline && expression in JSX is a string or number. These expressions can cause unwanted values to render, and can even cause some crashes in React Native, when the string or number is falsy ("" or 0).

Examples

function MyComponent(props: {
  str: string;
  num: number;
  maybeString: string | null;
  maybeObj: {} | null;
}) {
  return (
    <div>
      {props.str && <ComponentX /> /* error */}
      {!!props.str && <ComponentX /> /* no error */}
      {props.maybeString && <ComponentX /> /* error */}
      {props.maybeObj && <ComponentX /> /* no error */}
      {props.num && <ComponentX /> /* error */}
    </div>
  );
}

Installation

You'll first need to install ESLint and @typescript-eslint/parser:

$ yarn add --dev eslint @typescript-eslint/parser

Next, install eslint-plugin-jsx-falsy:

$ yarn add --dev eslint-plugin-jsx-falsy

Note: If you installed ESLint globally (using yarn global or npm install -g) then you must also install eslint-plugin-jsx-falsy globally.

Usage

Add jsx-falsy to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file. You can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix. Note that the rule won't work unless project is specified in parserOptions, since this rule uses type information (more details here).

{
  "parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  "parserOptions": {
    "project": ["./tsconfig.json"]
  },
  "plugins": ["jsx-falsy"]
}

Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.

{
  "rules": {
    "jsx-falsy/no-falsy-and": "error"
  }
}
