eslint/no-const-assign Correctness

What it does

Disallow reassigning const variables.

Why is this bad?

We cannot modify variables that are declared using the const keyword, as it will raise a runtime error.

Note that this rule is not necessary for TypeScript code, as TypeScript will already catch this as an error.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

js
const a = 0;
a = 1;

const b = 0;
b += 1;

Examples of correct code for this rule:

js
const a = 0;
console.log(a);

var b = 0;
b += 1;

How to use

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

json
{
  "rules": {
    "no-const-assign": "error"
  }
}
bash
oxlint --deny no-const-assign
