Rule Details​

Using non-null assertions cancels the benefits of the strict null-checking mode.

Examples of code for this rule:

interface Foo {
  bar?: string;
}

const foo: Foo = getFoo();
const includesBaz: boolean = foo.bar!.includes('baz');

Options​

// .eslintrc.json
{
  "rules": {
    "@typescript-eslint/no-non-null-assertion": "warn"
  }
}

This rule is not configurable.

When Not To Use It​
