react/purity Correctness
What it does
Validates that components and hooks are pure by checking that they do not call known-impure functions such as Math.random(), Date.now(), or performance.now() during render.
Powered by the React Compiler, which runs once per file and is shared with the other React Compiler rules. Port of react-hooks/purity.
Why is this bad?
Impure renders return different output for the same props and state, breaking memoization, concurrent rendering, and replayability.
Examples
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
jsx
function Component() {
const rand = Math.random();
return <div>{rand}</div>;
}Examples of correct code for this rule:
jsx
import { useState } from "react";
function Component() {
const [rand, setRand] = useState(0);
return <button onClick={() => setRand(Math.random())}>{rand}</button>;
}How to use
To enable this rule using the config file or in the CLI, you can use:
json
{
"plugins": ["react"],
"rules": {
"react/purity": "error"
}
}ts
import { defineConfig } from "oxlint";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: ["react"],
rules: {
"react/purity": "error",
},
});bash
oxlint --deny react/purity --react-pluginVersion
This rule was added in vnext.
