disallow bitwise operators (no-bitwise)

The use of bitwise operators in JavaScript is very rare and often & or | is simply a mistyped && or ||, which will lead to unexpected behavior.

var x = y | z;

Rule Details

This rule disallows bitwise operators.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/*eslint no-bitwise: "error"*/

var x = y | z;

var x = y & z;

var x = y ^ z;

var x = ~ z;

var x = y << z;

var x = y >> z;

var x = y >>> z;

x |= y;

x &= y;

x ^= y;

x <<= y;

x >>= y;

x >>>= y;

Examples of correct code for this rule:

/*eslint no-bitwise: "error"*/

var x = y || z;

var x = y && z;

var x = y > z;

var x = y < z;

x += y;

Options

This rule has an object option:

"allow": Allows a list of bitwise operators to be used as exceptions.
"int32Hint": Allows the use of bitwise OR in |0 pattern for type casting.

allow

Examples of correct code for this rule with the { "allow": ["~"] } option:

/*eslint no-bitwise: ["error", { "allow": ["~"] }] */

~[1,2,3].indexOf(1) === -1;
