eslint/no-extra-boolean-cast Correctness ​

✅ This rule is turned on by default.
🚧 An auto-fix is still under development.

What it does ​

This rule disallows unnecessary boolean casts.

Why is this bad? ​

In contexts such as an if statement’s test where the result of the expression will already be coerced to a Boolean, casting to a Boolean via double negation (!!) or a Boolean call is unnecessary.

Example ​

javascript
var foo = !!!bar;
var foo = Boolean(!!bar);

if (!!foo) {
}
if (Boolean(foo)) {
}

// with "enforceForLogicalOperands" option enabled
if (!!foo || bar) {
}
