Disallow unnecessary constructors.

ES2015 provides a default class constructor if one is not specified. As such, providing an empty constructor or one that delegates into its parent is unnecessary.

The rule ignores:

decorated classes;
constructors with at least one parameter property;
private and protected constructors.

Caveat

This rule reports on constructors whose sole purpose is to make a parent constructor public. See the last invalid example.

Examples

Invalid

class A {
    constructor (a) {}
}
