# No-Eval

#### Sourcery rule id: `no-eval`

#### Description

Never use `eval()`


#### Match

```javascript
eval("throw 1")
```



#### Explanation

Using `eval` opens your code up to serious security risks - it executes
code with the privileges of the caller, leading to all sorts of possible attacks.

It can also cause performance issues, preventing javascript minifiers and interpreters
from making many efficiency gains.
