ESLint Async pipes should not be negated

Viewed 6771

I'm using ESLint with Angular and I don't like having extra code like (observable | async) === (false | null | undefined) instead of just (observable | async). How do I disable that rule?

I think this is a very good rule and we must follow that.

Why?

Angular’s async pipes emit null initially, prior to the observable emitting any values, or the promise resolving. This can cause negations, like *ngIf=”!(myConditional | async)” to thrash the layout and cause expensive side-effects like firing off XHR requests for a component which should not be shown.

Doc: http://codelyzer.com/rules/templates-no-negated-async/

So you can just use like so according to your use case. i.e. for me it is just a boolean check.

(isMemberChanged$ | async) !== true

add "@angular-eslint/template/no-negated-async": "off" to the html portion of the esLint rules section

edit .eslintrc.json in root or your project (5 row from end), possible variants: off/warn/error

{
  "root": true,
  "ignorePatterns": [
    "projects/**/*"
  ],
  "overrides": [
    {
      "files": [
        "*.ts"
      ],
      "parserOptions": {
        "project": [
          "tsconfig.json",
          "e2e/tsconfig.json"
        ],
        "createDefaultProgram": true
      },
      "extends": [
        "plugin:@angular-eslint/recommended",
        "plugin:@angular-eslint/template/process-inline-templates"
      ],
      "rules": {
        "@angular-eslint/directive-selector": [
          "error",
          {
            "type": "attribute",
            "prefix": "crm",
            "style": "camelCase"
          }
        ],
        "@angular-eslint/component-selector": [
          "error",
          {
            "type": "element",
            "prefix": "crm",
            "style": "kebab-case"
          }
        ]
      }
    },
