Why is this an issue?
Duplicated string literals make the process of refactoring error-prone, since you must be sure to update all occurrences.
On the other hand, constants can be referenced from many places, but only need to be updated in a single place.
Exceptions
To prevent generating some false-positives, literals having less than 10 characters are excluded as well as literals matching /^\w*$/
.
String literals inside import/export statements and JSX attributes are also ignored. The same goes for statement-like string literals, e.g. 'use
strict';
.
