disallow side effects in computed properties (vue/no-side-effects-in-computed-properties)

• ⚙️ This rule is included in all of "plugin:vue/essential", "plugin:vue/strongly-recommended" and "plugin:vue/recommended".

It is considered a very bad practice to introduce side effects inside computed properties. It makes the code not predictable and hard to understand.

Rule Details

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

computed: {
  fullName () {
    this.firstName = 'lorem' // <- side effect
    return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`
  },
  reversedArray () {
    return this.array.reverse() // <- side effect
  }
}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

computed: {
  fullName () {
    return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`
  },
  reversedArray () {
    return this.array.slice(0).reverse()
  }
}
