This rule enforces that when using ...attributes (spread attributes), you should not also use a class attribute. The ...attributes syntax is used to forward HTML attributes from a parent component to a child component, and it already handles class merging automatically.

Examples

This rule forbids the following:

<div ...attributes class='foo'>
  content
</div>

<div class='foo' ...attributes>
  content
</div>

This rule allows the following:

<div ...attributes>
  content
</div>

<div class='foo'>
  content
</div>

Why?

When using ...attributes, any classes passed from the parent component will be automatically merged with the component's own classes. Adding a class attribute alongside ...attributes can lead to confusion about which classes take precedence and may result in unexpected styling behavior.

For example:

{{! Parent component }}
<MyComponent class='parent-class' />

{{! MyComponent template }}
<div ...attributes class='child-class'>
  {{! This is confusing: which class takes precedence? }}
</div>

Instead, you should either:

  1. Use ...attributes alone to allow class merging from the parent
  2. Use class alone if you want to enforce specific classes
