#Rule Details

Disallows the use of new operators outside of assignments or comparisons. The goal of new with a constructor is to create a new object of a particular type and assign or compare that object. A new expression used as a standalone statement discards the resulting object, which usually means the constructor should have been a plain function call instead.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

new Thing();

Examples of correct code for this rule:

var thing = new Thing();

Thing();
