eslint/no-constructor-return Pedantic

What it does

Disallow returning value from constructor

Why is this bad?

In JavaScript, returning a value in the constructor of a class may be a mistake. Forbidding this pattern prevents mistakes resulting from unfamiliarity with the language or a copy-paste error.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

js
class C {
  constructor() { return 42; }
}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

js
class C {
  constructor() { this.value = 42; }
}

How to use

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

json
{
    "rules": {
        "no-constructor-return": "error"
    }
}
bash
oxlint --deny no-constructor-return
