enforce the consistent use of either double or single quotes in JSX attributes (jsx-quotes)
The --fix
option on the command line can automatically fix some of the problems reported by this rule.
JSX attribute values can contain string literals, which are delimited with single or double quotes.
<a b='c' />
<a b="c" />
Unlike string literals in JavaScript, string literals within JSX attributes can’t contain escaped quotes. If you want to have e.g. a double quote within a JSX attribute value, you have to use single quotes as string delimiter.
<a b="'" />
<a b='"' />
