oxc/bad-bitwise-operator Restriction ​
What it does ​
This rule applies when bitwise operators are used where logical operators are expected.
Why is this bad? ​
Bitwise operators have different results from logical operators and a TypeError exception may be thrown because short-circuit evaluation is not applied. (In short-circuit evaluation, right operand evaluation is skipped according to left operand value, e.g. x is false in x && y.)
It is obvious that logical operators are expected in the following code patterns:
javascript
e && e.x;
e || {};
e || "";Example ​
javascript
if (obj & obj.prop) {
console.log(obj.prop);
}
options = options | {};
input |= "";
