Quick FixIDE quick fixes available with SonarLint

Unnecessary calls to .bind() should not be used.

Why is this an issue?

How can I fix it?

More Info

The .bind() method allows specifying the value of this and, optionally, the values of some function arguments. However, if this is not used in the function body, calls to .bind() do nothing and should be removed.

Calling .bind() on arrow functions is a bug because the value of this does not change when .bind() is applied to arrow functions.
