roblox_roact_dangling_connection

What it does

Checks for connections in Roact components that are either not assigned to a variable or passed as arguments.

Why this is bad

This indicates a memory leak and can cause unexpected behaviors.

Example

local function MyComponent()
    useEffect(function()
        a:Connect()
    end, {})
end

Remarks

This lint is active if the file has a variable named Roact or React and that the connection is made within a function.

This checks for connections by identifying the following keywords:

• Connect
• connect
• ConnectParallel
• Once
