Use at() instead of integer index access.

Accessing an element at the end of an array or a string is inconvenient because you have to subtract the length of the array or the string from the backward 1-based index of the element to access. For example, to access the last element of an array or a string, you would have to write array[array.length - 1]. A more convenient way to achieve the same thing is to use the at() method with a negative index. To access the last element of an array or a string just write array.at(-1).

This rule enforces the usage of at() over index access, charAt(), and slice()[0] when at() is more convenient.

Examples

Invalid

const foo = array[array.length - 1];
