#Configuration

import { defineConfig, js } from '@rslint/core';

export default defineConfig([
  js.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      'prefer-exponentiation-operator': 'error',
    },
  },
]);

#Rule Details

This rule disallows calls to Math.pow and suggests using the ** operator instead.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

const foo = Math.pow(2, 8);
const bar = Math.pow(a, b);
let baz = Math.pow(a + b, c + d);
let quux = Math.pow(-1, n);

Examples of correct code for this rule:

const foo = 2 ** 8;
const bar = a ** b;
let baz = (a + b) ** (c + d);
let quux = (-1) ** n;

#When Not To Use It

Do not enable this rule if your runtime target does not support the exponentiation operator (**).
