no-native-reassign

Nothing stops you from writing Object = null. Every piece of code that runs afterwards, including libraries, sees the new value and breaks far from the assignment. Most of the time it's a typo or a missing const.

The rule reports every write to a global that's marked as read-only, including writes with +=, ++ or destructuring. Your own variable with the same name is fine.

ESLint has deprecated this rule. no-global-assign is its current name and does the same thing.

Examples
