eslint/prefer-exponentiation-operator Style ​

What it does ​

Disallow the use of Math.pow in favor of the ** operator

Why is this bad? ​

Introduced in ES2016, the infix exponentiation operator ** is an alternative for the standard Math.pow function. Infix notation is considered to be more readable and thus more preferable than the function notation.

Example ​

javascript
Math.pow(a, b);
