# eslint-plugin-prefer-arrow-functions > An ESLint Plugin to Lint and auto-fix plain Functions into Arrow Functions, in all cases where conversion would result in the same behaviour (Arrow Functions do not support `this`, `arguments`, or `new.target` for example). [![NPM version](http://img.shields.io/npm/v/eslint-plugin-prefer-arrow-functions.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-prefer-arrow-functions) [![NPM downloads](http://img.shields.io/npm/dm/eslint-plugin-prefer-arrow-functions.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-prefer-arrow-functions) [![Build Status](http://img.shields.io/travis/JamieMason/eslint-plugin-prefer-arrow-functions/master.svg?style=flat-square)](https://travis-ci.org/JamieMason/eslint-plugin-prefer-arrow-functions) [![Maintainability](https://api.codeclimate.com/v1/badges/795faa0b446ff7dddcdb/maintainability)](https://codeclimate.com/github/JamieMason/eslint-plugin-prefer-arrow-functions/maintainability) ## Table of Contents - [☁️ Installation](#️-installation) - [🏓 Playground](#-playground) - [⚖️ Configuration](#️-configuration) - [🤔 Options](#-options) - [👏🏻 Credits](#-credits) - [🙋🏽‍♀️ Getting Help](#♀️-getting-help) - [👀 Other Projects](#-other-projects) - [🤓 Author](#-author) ## ☁️ Installation npm install --save-dev eslint eslint-plugin-prefer-arrow-functions ## 🏓 Playground Try it yourself at [ASTExplorer.net](https://astexplorer.net/#/gist/7c36fe8c604945df27df210cf79dcc3c/12f01bed4dcf08f32a85f72db0851440b7e45cdd) by pasting code snippets in the top left panel, the results will appear in the bottom right panel. ## ⚖️ Configuration Add the plugin to the `plugins` section and the rule to the `rules` section in your .eslintrc. The default values for options are listed in this example. ```json { "plugins": ["prefer-arrow-functions"], "rules": { "prefer-arrow-functions/prefer-arrow-functions": [ "warn", { "allowNamedFunctions": false, "classPropertiesAllowed": false, "disallowPrototype": false, "returnStyle": "unchanged", "singleReturnOnly": false } ] } } ``` ## 🤔 Options ### `allowNamedFunctions` If set to true, the rule won't report named functions such as `function foo() {}`. Anonymous function such as `const foo = function() {}` will still be reported. ### `classPropertiesAllowed` When `true`, functions defined as [class instance fields](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes#Field_declarations) will be converted to arrow functions when doing so would not alter or break their behaviour. ### `disallowPrototype` When `true`, functions assigned to a `prototype` will be converted to arrow functions when doing so would not alter or break their behaviour. ### `returnStyle` - When `"implicit"`, arrow functions such as `x => { return x; }` will be converted to `x => x`. - When `"explicit"`, arrow functions such as `x => x` will be converted to `x => { return x; }`. - When `"unchanged"` or not set, arrow functions will be left as they were. ### `singleReturnOnly` When `true`, only `function` declarations which _only_ contain a return statement will be converted. Functions containing block statements will be ignored. > This option works well in conjunction with ESLint's built-in [arrow-body-style](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/arrow-body-style) set to `as-needed`. ## 👏🏻 Credits This project is a fork of by [Triston Jones](https://github.com/TristonJ). ## 🙋🏽‍♀️ Getting Help Get help with issues by creating a [Bug Report] or discuss ideas by opening a [Feature Request].
