E0058: variable used before declaration

Variables can be declared in many ways. For variables declared with class, const, or let, it is an error to use the variable before/above its declaration:

let firstName = person.firstName;
if (firstName === "") {
  firstName = lastName;
}
let lastName = person.lastName;

function printAdjacentPairs(items) {
  let first = true;
  for (let current of items) {
    if (!first) {
      console.log(previous, current);
    }
    let previous = current;
    first = false;
  }
}

To fix this error, move the variable's declaration up above its use:

let firstName = person.firstName;
let lastName = person.lastName;
if (firstName === "") {
  firstName = lastName;
}

Alternatively, declare the variable in an outer scope:

function printAdjacentPairs(items) {
  let first = true;
  let previous;
  for (let current of items) {
    if (!first) {
      console.log(previous, current);
    }
    previous = current;
    first = false;
  }
}

Introduced in quick-lint-js version 0.2.0.
