Prevent passing a function reference directly to iterator methods

💼 This rule is enabled in the ✅ recommended config.

💡 This rule is manually fixable by editor suggestions.

Suppose you have a unicorn module:

module.exports = x => x + 1;

You can then use it like this:

const unicorn = require('unicorn');

[1, 2, 3].map(unicorn);
//=> [2, 3, 4]

The unicorn module now does a minor version that adds another argument:

module.exports = (x, y) => x + (y ? y : 1);

Your code will now return something different and probably break for users because it is now passing the index of the item as second argument.

const unicorn = require('unicorn');

[1, 2, 3].map(unicorn);
//=> [2, 3, 5]
