no-template-curly-in-string-fix

Disallows template literal placeholder syntax in regular strings (and automatically fixes).

This is a replacement for the ESLint no-template-curly-in-string rule that includes the ability for --fix to work properly.

Rule Details​

The official ESLint no-template-curly-in-string rule works like this:

// Bad
const fooString = "foo: ${foo}";

// Good
const fooString = `foo: ${foo}`;

This is a fantastic rule, as the use of quotes in this situation is almost always a bug. However, ESLint will not automatically fix this for you when using the --fix flag, unlike other rules. This is because ESLint does not want to break code in the extremely rare case where the programmer did this intentionally.

To get around this, use this rule instead.

Gotchas​

If you use this rule, make sure to turn off the vanilla ESLint rule, like this:

{
  "rules": {
    "no-template-curly-in-string": "off"
  }
}

Otherwise, the two rules will conflict with each other.

Note that if you use the recommended config that comes with this plugin, then the vanilla ESLint rule will be turned off automatically.

Options and Defaults​

{
  "rules": {
    "complete/no-template-curly-in-string-fix": "error"
  }
}

This rule is not configurable.
