rspec/rules/S1534/javascript/rule.adoc

JavaScript allows duplicate property names in classes and object literals, but only the last instance of a duplicated name determines the actual value that will be used for it. Therefore, changing values of other occurrences of a duplicated name will have no effect and may cause misunderstandings and bugs.


Defining a ``++class++`` with a duplicated ``++constructor++`` will generate an error.


Before ECMAScript 2015, using duplicate names will generate an error in JavaScript strict mode code.


== Noncompliant Code Example

[source,javascript]
----
var data = {
  "key": "value",
  "1": "value",
  "key": "value", // Noncompliant - duplicate of "key"
  'key': "value", // Noncompliant - duplicate of "key"
  key: "value", // Noncompliant - duplicate of "key"
  \u006bey: "value", // Noncompliant - duplicate of "key"
  "\u006bey": "value", // Noncompliant - duplicate of "key"
  "\x6bey": "value", // Noncompliant - duplicate of "key"
  1: "value" // Noncompliant - duplicate of "1"
}
----


== Compliant Solution

[source,javascript]
----
var data = {
  "key": "value",
  "1": "value",
  "key2": "value",
  'key3': "value",
  key4: "value",
  \u006bey5: "value",
  "\u006bey6": "value",
  "\x6bey7": "value", 
  1b: "value"
}
