Nx npm Packages Compromised in Supply Chain Attack Weaponizing AI CLI Tools
Malicious Nx npm versions stole secrets and wallet info using AI CLI tools; Socket’s AI scanner detected the supply chain attack and flagged the malware.
eslint-plugin-prefer-arrow-functions
Advanced tools
An ESLint Plugin to Lint and auto-fix plain Functions into Arrow Functions, in all cases where conversion would result in the same behaviour (Arrow Functions do not support
this
,arguments
, ornew.target
for example).
npm install --save-dev eslint eslint-plugin-prefer-arrow-functions
Add the plugin to the plugins
section and the rule to the rules
section in your .eslintrc. The default values for options are listed in this example.
{
"plugins": ["prefer-arrow-functions"],
"rules": {
"prefer-arrow-functions/prefer-arrow-functions": [
"warn",
{
"allowedNames": [],
"allowNamedFunctions": false,
"allowObjectProperties": false,
"classPropertiesAllowed": false,
"disallowPrototype": false,
"returnStyle": "unchanged",
"singleReturnOnly": false
}
]
}
}
allowedNames
An optional array of function names to ignore. When set, the rule won't report named functions such as function foo() {}
whose name is identical to a member of this array.
allowNamedFunctions
If set to true, the rule won't report named functions such as function foo() {}
. Anonymous function such as const foo = function() {}
will still be reported.
allowObjectProperties
If set to true, the rule won't report named methods such as
const myObj = {
hello() {}
}
classPropertiesAllowed
When true
, functions defined as class instance fields will be converted to arrow functions when doing so would not alter or break their behaviour.
disallowPrototype
When true
, functions assigned to a prototype
will be converted to arrow functions when doing so would not alter or break their behaviour.
returnStyle
"implicit"
, arrow functions such as x => { return x; }
will be converted to x => x
."explicit"
, arrow functions such as x => x
will be converted to x => { return x; }
."unchanged"
or not set, arrow functions will be left as they were.singleReturnOnly
When true
, only function
declarations which only contain a return statement will be converted. Functions containing block statements will be ignored.
This option works well in conjunction with ESLint's built-in arrow-body-style set to
as-needed
.
