eslint-plugin-no-window-func

An ESLint plugin that disallows variable declarations using the names of methods on the window object. This helps prevent potential conflicts and unexpected behaviors in your JavaScript code.

Installation

You can install the plugin using npm:

npm install eslint-plugin-no-window-func --save-dev

Usage

To use this plugin, add it to your ESLint configuration file (.eslintrc.js, .eslintrc.json, etc.).

Example .eslintrc.js Configuration

module.exports = {
    "plugins": [
        "no-window-func"
    ],
    "rules": {
        "no-window-func/no-window-func": "error"
    }
};

Example Code

/* eslint no-window-func/no-window-func: "error" */
const alert = "test";  // This will cause an ESLint error
const myVar = "test";  // This is fine
