# no-useless-concat

> Disallow joining two string literals with `+` on the same line

`"a" + "b"` is a longer way to write `"ab"`. Two literals next to each other are usually left over after someone removed a variable between them.

Both plain strings and template literals count. Strings on different lines are allowed, because that's a common way to break a long string.
