unnecessaryBinds

Reports unnecessary .bind() calls.

✅ This rule is included in the ts logical presets.

Using .bind() on a function that doesn’t use this is unnecessary. Additionally, using .bind() on arrow functions has no effect since arrow functions have lexical this binding.

Examples

Functions Without this

❌ Incorrect

const handler = function () {
  console.log("hello");
}.bind(this);

✅ Correct

const handler = function () {
  console.log("hello");
};

Arrow Functions

❌ Incorrect

const callback = (() => {
  this.process();
}).bind(context);

✅ Correct

const callback = () => {
  this.process();
};

Options

This rule is not configurable.

When Not To Use It

If you use .bind() with additional arguments to create partially applied functions, this rule should not flag those cases.
