eslint/no-this-before-super Correctness

This rule is turned on by default.

What it does

Requires calling super() before using this or super.

Why is this bad?

In the constructor of derived classes, if this/super are used before super() calls, it raises a ReferenceError.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

javascript
class A1 extends B {
  constructor() {
    // super() needs to be called first
    this.a = 0;
    super();
  }
}

How to use

To enable this rule using the config file or in the CLI, you can use:

json
{
  "rules": {
    "no-this-before-super": "error"
  }
}
bash
oxlint --deny no-this-before-super
