# disallow `Array` constructors (no-array-constructor)
Use of the `Array` constructor to construct a new array is generally
discouraged in favor of array literal notation because of the single-argument
pitfall and because the `Array` global may be redefined. The exception is when
the Array constructor is used to intentionally create sparse arrays of a
specified size by giving the constructor a single numeric argument.
## Rule Details
This rule disallows `Array` constructors.
Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
```js
/*eslint no-array-constructor: "error"*/
Array(0, 1, 2)
new Array(0, 1, 2)
```
Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
```js
/*eslint no-array-constructor: "error"*/
Array(500)
new Array(someOtherArray.length)
[0, 1, 2]
```
## When Not To Use It
This rule enforces a nearly universal stylistic concern. That being said, this
rule may be disabled if the constructor style is preferred.
