unicorn/no-for-loop Style ​

🚧 An auto-fix is still under development.

What it does ​

Enforces the use of for-of loops over classical counter based for loops.

Why is this bad? ​

  • A for-of loop makes intent explicit – iterate over all elements.
  • It removes boiler-plate (i, arr.length, manual ++).

Examples ​

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

js
for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
  const item = items[i];
  console.log(item);
}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

js
for (const item of items) {
  console.log(item);
}

How to use ​

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

bash
oxlint --deny unicorn/no-for-loop
json
{
  "rules": {
    "unicorn/no-for-loop": "error"
  }
}
