typescript/prefer-enum-initializers Pedantic

💡 A suggestion is available for this rule.

Requires each enum member's value to be explicitly initialized.

In projects where enum member values matter, allowing enums to use implicit values can introduce bugs when the enum is modified over time.

The following is an incorrect code example for this rule:

typescript

// Error, `Close`'s value is not constant
enum Status {
  Open = 1,
  Close,
}

The following is a correct code example for this rule:

typescript

enum Status {
  Open = 1,
  Close = 2,
}

How to use

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

Config (.oxlintrc.json)Config (oxlint.config.ts)CLI

json

{
  "rules": {
    "typescript/prefer-enum-initializers": "error"
  }
}

import { defineConfig } from "oxlint";

export default defineConfig({
  rules: {
    "typescript/prefer-enum-initializers": "error",
  },
});

bash

oxlint --deny typescript/prefer-enum-initializers

This rule was added in v0.3.2.
