throw-new-error

📝 Require new when creating an error.

💼 This rule is enabled in the following configs: ✅ recommended, ☑️ unopinionated.

🔧 This rule is automatically fixable by the --fix CLI option.

While it's possible to create a new error without using the new keyword, it's better to be explicit.

Examples

// ❌
const error = Error('unicorn');

// ✅
const error = new Error('unicorn');

// ❌
throw TypeError('unicorn');

// ✅
throw new TypeError('unicorn');

// ❌
throw lib.TypeError('unicorn');

// ✅
throw new lib.TypeError('unicorn');
