no-void-return-type
Disallows void
return types on non-exported functions.
Rule Details
Most of the time, programmers do not bother typing void
after the functions that they write, since this return type is implied by default. Adding the void
annotation to every function would clutter the code.
With that said, some codebases use the explicit-module-boundary-types
ESLint rule, which requires that you annotate the type for every exported function. So in this case, typing the void
is required for some functions.
However, from time to time, programmers will refactor exported functions to non-exported functions. After doing this, the largely-superfluous void
annotation will remain in the code, causing clutter.
To solve the problem, use this lint rule to automatically remove void return types on non-exported functions.
// Bad
function foo(): void {}
// Good
function foo() {}
