type/no-array-delete

Disallow deleting elements from array-like values.

Applies to: Type information in Vue SFC scripts and templates, for the constructs shown below.

This rule reads type information from your TypeScript project (tsconfig.json), so the configuration sets typeAware: true. typeAware does not turn on opt-in rules by itself.

Bad

delete numbers[0] removes an array element and leaves a hole instead of reindexing the array.

<script setup lang="ts">
const numbers = [1, 2, 3];
delete numbers[0];
</script>

Good

splice(0, 1) removes the first element and keeps the array dense.

<script setup lang="ts">
const numbers = [1, 2, 3];
numbers.splice(0, 1);
</script>

Configuration (Vite+)

import { defineConfig } from "@vizejs/vite-plugin/vite-plus";

export default defineConfig({}).withVue({
  linter: {
    "preset": "incremental",
    "rules": {
      "type/no-array-delete": "warn"
    },
    "typeAware": true
  },
});

Then run vp run lint.
