useNumberNamespace (since v1.5.0)

Diagnostic Category: lint/nursery/useNumberNamespace

Source: prefer-number-properties

Use the Number properties instead of global ones.

ES2015 moved some globals into the Number properties for consistency.

The rule doesn’t report the globals isFinite and isNan because they have a slightly different behabior to their corresponding Number’s properties Number.isFinite and Number.isNan. You can use the dedicated rules noGlobalIsFinite and noGlobalIsNan to enforce the use of Number.isFinite and Number.isNan.
