unicorn/no-instanceof-array

Every iframe and every node:vm context has its own Array. An array created in another one isn't an instance of yours, so instanceof Array is false for it. Array.isArray() is true for every array.

--fix rewrites value instanceof Array to Array.isArray(value).

Configure

Off by default. To turn it on:

[lint.rules]
"unicorn/no-instanceof-array" = "error" # or "warn"

Examples

Reported:

function toList(value) {
  return value instanceof Array ? value : [value];
}

Not reported:
