ESLint Angular Template consistent this
eslint-plugin-angular-template-consistent-this

Explicit/implicit prefix properties, variables and template references with this. in Angular HTML templates.

There is no functional reason to start properties with this. It is solely aesthetic. But by giving developers the choice to apply it or not, the code will look inconsistent.

Explicit means that properties, variables and template references start with this., like: <test *ngIf="this.foo">{{this.bar}}</test>.

Read more about this rule in the documentation.

Usage

Add eslint-plugin-angular-template-consistent-this to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file. You can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix:

{
  "root": true,
  "ignorePatterns": ["projects/**/*"],
  "overrides": [
    // ...
    {
      "files": ["*.html"],
      "extends": [
        "plugin:@angular-eslint/template/recommended"
      ],
+     "plugins": ["angular-template-consistent-this"],
      "rules": {
        // ...
      }
    }
  ]
}

Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section. The recommended configuration is:

{
  "root": true,
  "ignorePatterns": ["projects/**/*"],
  "overrides": [
    // ...
    {
      "files": ["*.html"],
      "extends": [
        "plugin:@angular-eslint/template/recommended"
      ],
      "plugins": ["angular-template-consistent-this"],
      "rules": {
+       // Prepend properties with `this`.
+       "angular-template-consistent-this/eslint-plugin-angular-template-consistent-this": [
+         "error",
+         {
+           "properties": "explicit",
+           "variables": "implicit",
+           "templateReferences": "implicit"
