unicorn/prefer-number-properties

The global isNaN and isFinite convert their argument to a number first, so isNaN("abc") is true and isFinite("1") is true. Number.isNaN and Number.isFinite don't convert, so they're false for anything that isn't a number.

Number.parseInt, Number.parseFloat and Number.NaN are the same as the globals. The rule reports the globals so that everything about numbers is written the same way.

--fix rewrites parseInt, parseFloat, NaN and Infinity. It doesn't touch isNaN and isFinite, because the result can change. --fix-dangerously rewrites those too.

Configure

Off by default. To turn it on:

[lint.rules]
"unicorn/prefer-number-properties" = "error" # or "warn"

Every option, set to its default:

[lint.rules]
"unicorn/prefer-number-properties" = ["error", {
  checkInfinity = false,
  checkNaN = true,
}]

Examples

Reported:

const width = parseInt(style.width, 10);

if (isNaN(width)) {
  reset(NaN);
}

const isValid = window.isFinite(width);

Not reported:

const width = Number.parseInt(style.width, 10);

if (Number.isNaN(width)) {
  reset(Number.NaN);
}

const isValid = Number.isFinite(width);

Options

Option	Default	What it does
checkInfinity	false	Also report Infinity and -Infinity. Write Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY and Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY.
checkNaN	true	Report NaN.

Infinity is only reported with checkInfinity:

let lowest = Infinity;

let lowest = Infinity;

With checkNaN: false, NaN is allowed:

const missing = NaN;
