Additionally, one shouldn't use a class to define exclusively static methods. Instead one can use a module, or better, export each function separately.

== Why is this an issue?

Using an empty class serves no purpose and can hinder the readability of the code.

[source,javascript]
----
class Foo {
  static bar() {
    // ...
  }
}
----

//=== What is the potential impact?

== How to fix it

You can export the functions that you wish to make available.

[source,javascript]
----
export function bar()  {
  // ...
}
----

=== Code examples

==== Noncompliant code example

[source,javascript,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
class Foo { // Noncompliant
  static bar() {
    // ...
  }
}
----

==== Compliant solution

[source,javascript,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
export function bar() {
  // ...
}
----

==== Noncompliant code example

[source,javascript,diff-id=2,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
class DoAndLog { // Noncompliant
  constructor () {
    console.log('I\'m done!');
  }
}
----

==== Compliant solution

[source,javascript,diff-id=2,diff-type=compliant]
----
function doAndLog() {
  console.log('I\'m done!');
}
