# Consistent event handler parameters (eventmap-params)

Force consistent event handler parameters in [event maps](http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/eventmaps)


## Rule Details

Prevent the use of differently named parameters in event handlers to achieve more consistent code

The following patterns are considered warnings:

```js
Template.foo.events({
  // 'foo' does not match 'event'
  'submit form': function (foo) {}
})

Template.foo.events({
  // 'bar' does not match 'templateInstance'
  'submit form': function (event, bar) {}
})

Template.foo.events({
  // neither 'foo' nor 'bar' are correct
  'submit form': function (foo, bar) {}
})

```

The following patterns are not warnings:

```js
Template.foo.events({
  'submit form': function (event) {}
})

Template.foo.events({
  'submit form': function (event, templateInstance) {}
})

Template.foo.events({
  'submit form': function ({ target: form }, { data }) {}
})

```

### Options

#### Parameter names

You can optionally set the names of the parameters.  
You can set the name of the event parameter using `eventParamName` and the name of the template-instance parameter using `templateInstanceParamName`.  
Here are examples of how to do this:

```js
/*
 eslint meteor/eventmap-params: [2, {"eventParamName": "evt"}]
 */
Template.foo.events({
  'submit form': function (evt) {}
})

/*
 eslint meteor/eventmap-params: [2, {"templateInstanceParamName": "tmplInst"}]
 */
Template.foo.events({
  'submit form': function (event, tmplInst) {}
})

/*
 eslint meteor/eventmap-params: [2, {"eventParamName": "evt", "templateInstanceParamName": "tmplInst"}]
 */
Template.foo.events({
  'submit form': function (evt, tmplInst) {}
})

```

#### Destructuring

You can optionally forbid destructuring the parameters.  
You can set `preventDestructuring` to `"event"`, `"templateInstance"`, or `"both"`, to force no destructuring on the event parameter, template-instance parameter, or both respectively.

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
/*
 eslint meteor/eventmap-params: [2, {"preventDestructuring": "event"}]
 */
Template.foo.events({
  'submit form': function ({ target: form }, templateInstance) {}
})

/*
 eslint meteor/eventmap-params: [2, {"preventDestructuring": "templateInstance"}]
 */
Template.foo.events({
  'submit form': function (event, { data }) {}
})

/*
 eslint meteor/eventmap-params: [2, {"preventDestructuring": "both"}]
 */
Template.foo.events({
  'submit form': function (event, { data }) {}
})
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
/*
 eslint meteor/eventmap-params: [2, {"preventDestructuring": "event"}]
 */
Template.foo.events({
  'submit form': function (event, { data }) {}
})

/*
 eslint meteor/eventmap-params: [2, {"preventDestructuring": "templateInstance"}]
 */
Template.foo.events({
  'submit form': function ({ target: form }, templateInstance) {}
})
```
