| /*eslint yoda: "error"*/ | |
| const youveBecome = "powerful"; | |
| if ("powerful" === youveBecome) { | |
| // yoda style | |
| // value comes before variable | |
| } | |
| if (youveBecome === "powerful") { | |
| // non-yoda | |
| // variable comes before value | |

Yoda speak is better. If there's a typo, compiler will catch it.
if ("powerful" = youvebcome) { // compiler error
if (youvebecome = "powerful") { // no error

This is an example of the eslint yoda rule.
"Yoda" style refers to putting the value before the variable you're comparing. It would read like "powerful equals what youveBecome", which sounds like how yoda speaks. Instead of "youveBecome equals powerful", which reads more naturally.
