Prefer modern Math APIs over legacy patterns

💼 This rule is enabled in the ✅ recommended config.

🔧 This rule is automatically fixable by the --fix CLI option.

Math additions in ES2015:

• Math.sign()
• Math.trunc()
• Math.cbrt()
• Math.expm1()
• Math.log1p()
• Math.log10()
• Math.log2()
• Math.sinh()
• Math.cosh()
• Math.tanh()
• Math.asinh()
• Math.acosh()
• Math.atanh()
• Math.hypot()
• Math.clz32()
• Math.imul()
• Math.fround()

Currently, we only check a few known cases, but we are open to add more patterns.

If you find a suitable case for this rule, please open an issue.

Prefer Math.log10(x) over

Math.log(x) * Math.LOG10E

Math.LOG10E * Math.log(x)

Math.log(x) / Math.LN10

Prefer Math.log2(x) over

Math.log(x) * Math.LOG2E

Math.LOG2E * Math.log(x)

Math.log(x) / Math.LN2

Prefer Math.hypot(…) over

Math.sqrt(a * a + b * b)

Math.sqrt(a ** 2 + b ** 2)

Math.sqrt(Math.pow(a, 2) + Math.pow(b, 2))

This case requires prefer-exponentiation-operator rule to fix it first.

Math.sqrt(x ** 2)
// This case fix to `Math.abs(x)`, since it should be better than `Math.hypot(x)`

Separate rule for Math.trunc()
