parseIntRadixes

Reports parseInt calls that are missing or have an invalid radix parameter.

✅ This rule is included in the ts logical and logicalStrict presets.

When using the parseInt() function it is common to omit the second argument, the radix, and let the function try to determine from the first argument what type of number it is. By default, parseInt() will autodetect decimal and hexadecimal (via 0x prefix). Prior to ECMAScript 5, parseInt() also autodetected octal literals, which caused problems because many developers assumed a leading 0 would be ignored.

This confusion led to the suggestion that you always use the radix parameter to parseInt() to eliminate unintended consequences.

function parseInt(string: string, radix?: number): number

Converts a string to an integer.

@paramstring A string to convert into a number.

@paramradix A value between 2 and 36 that specifies the base of the number in string. If this argument is not supplied, strings with a prefix of '0x' are considered hexadecimal. All other strings are considered decimal.

parseInt
("071");
function parseInt(string: string, radix?: number): number

Converts a string to an integer.

@paramstring A string to convert into a number.

@paramradix A value between 2 and 36 that specifies the base of the number in string. If this argument is not supplied, strings with a prefix of '0x' are considered hexadecimal. All other strings are considered decimal.

parseInt
(
const someValue: string
someValue
);
var Number: NumberConstructor

An object that represents a number of any kind. All JavaScript numbers are 64-bit floating-point numbers.

Number

NumberConstructor.parseInt(string: string, radix?: number): number

Converts A string to an integer.

@paramstring A string to convert into a number.

@paramradix A value between 2 and 36 that specifies the base of the number in string. If this argument is not supplied, strings with a prefix of '0x' are considered hexadecimal. All other strings are considered decimal.

parseInt

function parseInt(string: string, radix?: number): number

Converts a string to an integer.

@paramstring A string to convert into a number.

@paramradix A value between 2 and 36 that specifies the base of the number in string. If this argument is not supplied, strings with a prefix of '0x' are considered hexadecimal. All other strings are considered decimal.

parseInt
("10", 1);
function parseInt(string: string, radix?: number): number

Converts a string to an integer.

@paramstring A string to convert into a number.

@paramradix A value between 2 and 36 that specifies the base of the number in string. If this argument is not supplied, strings with a prefix of '0x' are considered hexadecimal. All other strings are considered decimal.

parseInt
("10", 37);

This rule is not configurable.

If you are confident that your codebase always uses decimal strings without leading zeros, it may be preferable to disable this rule.
