# no-hooks

[Added in v0.8.2](https://github.com/web-infra-dev/rslint/releases/tag/v0.8.2)
## Configuration

| Preset                     | Configured Value |
| -------------------------- | ---------------- |
| ✅ rstestPlugin.configs.all | `"warn"`         |


```ts title=rslint.config.ts
import { defineConfig, rstestPlugin } from '@rslint/core';

export default defineConfig([
  rstestPlugin.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      'rstest/no-hooks': 'error',
    },
  },
]);
```

## Rule Details

Disallows lifecycle hooks when a project prefers each test to set up and clean up its own state explicitly.

The rule covers `beforeAll`, `beforeEach`, `afterEach`, and `afterAll` from globals, imports, aliases, and Playwright test objects.

## Incorrect

```ts
beforeEach(() => {
  resetDatabase();
});

test('creates a user', () => {});
```

## Correct

```ts
test('creates a user', () => {
  const database = createTestDatabase();

  expect(database.users.create({ name: 'Ada' }).name).toBe('Ada');
});
```

## Options

```json
{
  "rstest/no-hooks": [
    "error",
    {
      "allow": ["afterEach"]
    }
  ]
}
```
