Autofix for array-func/from-map results in undesirable behavior

Open maxpatiiuk opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Version: 3.1.8 ESLint: 8.31.0 Node.js: 19.3.0

For the following code:

export const uniqueMappingPaths = (
  mappingPaths: RA<MappingPath | undefined>
): RA<MappingPath> =>
  Array.from(
    new Set(filterArray(mappingPaths).map(mappingPathToString)),
    splitJoinedMappingPath
  ).map((path) => (path.length === 1 && path[0] === '' ? [] : path));

ESLint reports:

ESLint: use mapFn callback of Array.from instead of map() (array-func/from-map)

for the Array.from( line.

The autofix turns the above into:

export const uniqueMappingPaths = (
  mappingPaths: RA<MappingPath | undefined>
): RA<MappingPath> =>
  Array.from(
    new Set(filterArray(mappingPaths).map(mappingPathToString)),
    (item, index) => ((path) => (path.length === 1 && path[0] === '' ? [] : path))((splitJoinedMappingPath).call(this, item, index), index)
  );

Which is very much undesired (turns code into an unreadable mess, with an IIFE and this.). Can't speak of possible performance improvements, but not worth the readability sacrifice. If this is indeed desired behavior, I would just disable the rule. If not, posting it here to notify you of this behavior.

That is how the rule is set up to auto fix. This is mostly to make it universally able to combine the two map functions.

I see. Would it be better to disable auto-fix in cases where the auto-fix produces unreadable code? Just for reference, the autofixed code also creates typescript errors:

Along with several ESLint errors: Screenshot 2023-01-07 at 07 38 05 Screenshot 2023-01-07 at 07 38 25 Screenshot 2023-01-07 at 07 38 47

Or at least, could you make this behavior an option that can be turned off?
