Disallow new operators with calls to require (n/no-new-require)
The require function is used to include modules that exist in separate files, such as:
js
var appHeader = require('app-header');Some modules return a constructor which can potentially lead to code such as:
js
var appHeader = new require('app-header');Unfortunately, this introduces a high potential for confusion since the code author likely meant to write:
js
var appHeader = new (require('app-header'));For this reason, it is usually best to disallow this particular expression.
