no-new-native-nonconstructor

Symbol and BigInt start with a capital letter but aren't constructors. new Symbol("id") and new BigInt(10) throw a TypeError when they run. Call them without new.

This rule is on by default in JavaScript files. It's off in TypeScript files, where TypeScript reports the same mistake.

Configure

On by default as an error. To turn it off:

[lint.rules]
"no-new-native-nonconstructor" = "off" # or "warn"

Examples

Reported:

const id = new Symbol("id");

const total = new BigInt(9007199254740991);

Not reported:

const id = Symbol("id");
const total = BigInt(9007199254740991);
