eslint/no-nested-ternary Style ​

What it does ​

Disallows nested ternary expressions to improve code readability and maintainability.

Why is this bad? ​

Nested ternary expressions make code harder to read and understand. They can lead to complex, difficult-to-debug logic.

Examples ​

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

js
const result = condition1 ? (condition2 ? "a" : "b") : "c";

Examples of correct code for this rule:

js
let result;
if (condition1) {
  result = condition2 ? "a" : "b";
} else {
  result = "c";
}

How to use ​

To enable this rule in the CLI or using the config file, you can use:

bash
oxlint --deny no-nested-ternary
json
{
  "rules": {
    "no-nested-ternary": "error"
  }
}
