no-for-in-array

Disallow iterating over an array with a for-in loop.

💭

This rule requires type information to run.

A for-in loop (for (var i in o)) iterates over the properties of an Object. While it is legal to use for-in loops with array types, it is not common. for-in will iterate over the indices of the array as strings, omitting any "holes" in the array.

Examples

declare const array: string[];

for (const i in array) {
console.log(array[i]);
}

for (const i in array) {
console.log(i, array[i]);
}

When Not To Use It
