Reports a usage of equality operators may cause unexpected type coercions. Suggests replacing == or != equality operators with type-safe === or !== operators.

Depending on the option selected, one of the following cases will be reported:

  • All usages of == and != operators.

  • All usages except comparison with null. Some code styles allow using x == null as a replacement for x === null || x === undefined.

  • Only suspicious expressions, such as: == or != comparisons with 0, '', null, true, false, or undefined.
