eslint/prefer-exponentiation-operator Style

What it does

Disallow the use of Math.pow in favor of the ** operator

Why is this bad?

Introduced in ES2016, the infix exponentiation operator ** is an alternative for the standard Math.pow function. Infix notation is considered to be more readable and thus more preferable than the function notation.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

Math.pow(a, b)

Examples of correct code for this rule:

a ** b
