Rule: prefer-while

Prefer while loops instead of for loops without an initializer and incrementor.

Rationale

Simplifies the readability of the loop statement, while maintaining the same functionality.

Notes:

Config

Not configurable.

Config examples

"prefer-while": true

Schema

null

Code examples:

"rules": { "prefer-while": true }

for(let i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
    console.log(i);
}

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i+=1) {
    console.log(i);
}

for (let i = 0; i < 10;) {
    i += 1;
}

for(;;) {
    console.log('Hello World');
}

for(;true===true;) {
    console.log('Hello World');
}
