useNumberNamespace (since v1.5.0)

Diagnostic Category: lint/style/useNumberNamespace

Sources:

Use the Number properties instead of global ones.

ES2015 moved some globals into the Number properties for consistency.

The rule doesn’t report the globals isFinite and isNan because they have a slightly different behavior to their corresponding Number’s properties Number.isFinite and Number.isNan. You can use the dedicated rules noGlobalIsFinite and noGlobalIsNan to enforce the use of Number.isFinite and Number.isNan.
