Disallow Labels That Are Variables Names (no-label-var)
Rule Details
This rule aims to create clearer code by disallowing the bad practice of creating a label that shares a name with a variable that is in scope.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-label-var: "error"*/
var x = foo;
function bar() {
x:
for (;;) {
break x;
}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-label-var: "error"*/
// The variable that has the same name as the label is not in scope.
function foo() {
var q = t;
}
function bar() {
q:
for(;;) {
break q;
}
}
When Not To Use It
If you don't want to be notified about usage of labels, then it's safe to disable this rule.
