unicorn/prefer-array-index-of Style ​

🚧 An auto-fix is still under development.

What it does ​

Enforces using indexOf or lastIndexOf instead of findIndex or findLastIndex when the callback is a simple strict equality comparison.

Why is this bad? ​

Using findIndex(x => x === value) is unnecessarily verbose when indexOf(value) accomplishes the same thing more concisely and clearly. It also avoids the overhead of creating a callback function.

Examples ​

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

js
values.findIndex(x => x === "foo");
values.findLastIndex(x => x === "bar");

Examples of correct code for this rule:

js
values.indexOf("foo");
values.lastIndexOf("bar");

How to use ​

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

bash
oxlint --deny unicorn/prefer-array-index-of
json
{
  "rules": {
    "unicorn/prefer-array-index-of": "error"
  }
}
