eslint/no-nonoctal-decimal-escape Correctness

✅ This rule is turned on by default.

🚧 An auto-fix is still under development.

What it does

This rule disallows \8 and \9 escape sequences in string literals

Why is this bad?

ECMAScript specification treats \8 and \9 in string literals as a legacy feature

Example

incorrect: "8";
("9");
correct: "8";
("\\9");
