    Rule Details

    Disallow the use of eval()-like methods.

    Passing a string as the first argument to setTimeout, setInterval, or execScript causes the string to be evaluated as JavaScript — a form of implied eval(). This rule flags such calls, whether made directly or through a global object reference (window, global, globalThis, or self).

    Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

    setTimeout('alert(\'Hi!\');', 100);
setInterval('alert(\'Hi!\');', 100);
execScript('alert(\'Hi!\')');

window.setTimeout('count = 5', 10);
window.setInterval('foo = bar', 10);

globalThis.setTimeout(`code ${foo}`);
self.setInterval('foo' + bar);

    Examples of correct code for this rule:

    setTimeout(function () {
  alert('Hi!');
}, 100);

setInterval(function () {
  alert('Hi!');
}, 100);

execScript(function () {
  alert('Hi!');
});

const handler = () => alert('Hi!');
setTimeout(handler, 100);
window.setTimeout(handler, 100);
