# @typescript-eslint/no-unnecessary-qualifier

> Disallow naming the enclosing namespace or enum where the short name works

Inside a `namespace` or an `enum`, its own members are in scope. Writing `Shapes.Circle` inside `Shapes` means the same as `Circle`.

`--fix` removes the qualifier.

{/* Generated by src/codegen/lint-rule-docs.ts. Do not edit this section. */}

## Configure

Off by default. This rule needs types, so turning it on makes `bun lint` type check your code first.

```toml bunfig.toml
[lint.rules]
"@typescript-eslint/no-unnecessary-qualifier" = "error" # or "warn"
```

{/* End of the generated section. */}

## Examples

Reported:

{/* bad {"count": 2} */}
```ts
namespace Shapes {
  export interface Circle {
    radius: number;
  }
  export const unit: Shapes.Circle = { radius: 1 };
}

enum Level {
  Low = 1,
  Default = Level.Low,
}
```

Not reported:

{/* good */}
```ts
namespace Shapes {
  export interface Circle {
    radius: number;
  }
  export const unit: Circle = { radius: 1 };
}

enum Level {
  Low = 1,
  Default = Low,
}

const circle: Shapes.Circle = Shapes.unit;
```

Here `limit` alone would be the local constant, so `Config.limit` stays:

{/* good */}
```ts
namespace Config {
  export const limit = 10;

  export function clamp(value: number) {
    const limit = value * 2;
    return Math.min(limit, Config.limit);
  }
}
```
