unicorn/prefer-ternary Style
What it does
Prefers ternary expressions over simple if/else statements.
Why is this bad?
Simple if/else branches for the same operation are often shorter and clearer when expressed as a ternary.
Examples
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
js
if (test) {
return a;
} else {
return b;
}Examples of correct code for this rule:
js
return test ? a : b;Configuration
This rule accepts one of the following string values:
"always"
Always enforce ternary usage when the branches can be safely merged.
"only-single-line"
Only enforce ternary usage when the condition and both branches are single-line.
How to use
To enable this rule using the config file or in the CLI, you can use:
json
{
"rules": {
"unicorn/prefer-ternary": "error"
}
}bash
oxlint --deny unicorn/prefer-ternary
