Extracted from: #20693
This pull request seeks to update the default ESLint configuration of
prefer-constto allow aletassignment if any of a destructuring assignment are reassigned. The intention with this change is to avoid scenarios where the developer must resort to cumbersome workarounds (like multiple destructuring assignments ofletandconst) when there is mixed reassignment of destructured variables. The potential downside of this change is that we lose "signalling" of intent to reassign when working with destructuring.Before:
After:
See rule configuration for more detail:
https://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const#destructuring
I marked this as a "New Feature" instead of "Breaking Change". While technically the behavior is now different, it should not result in the introduction of any errors.
For a real-world example, see #20693 (specifically this assignment).
Testing Instructions:
Try incorporating a code snippet like those above somewhere in code, and observe the expected result.
