# no-this-assignment

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

| Preset                              | Configured Value |
| ----------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| ✅ unicornPlugin.configs.recommended | `"error"`        |


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

export default defineConfig([
  unicornPlugin.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      'unicorn/no-this-assignment': 'error',
    },
  },
]);
```

## Rule Details

Disallow assigning `this` directly to a variable. Use `this` directly, an arrow
function, or `Function#bind()` instead.

Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:

```javascript
const self = this;

setTimeout(function () {
  self.run();
});
```

Examples of **correct** code for this rule:

```javascript
setTimeout(() => {
  this.run();
});

setTimeout(
  function () {
    this.run();
  }.bind(this),
);
```
