# unicorn/no-useless-collection-argument

> Disallow empty arguments and fallbacks in `new Set()`, `Map`, `WeakSet`, and `WeakMap`

`new Set()`, `new Map()`, `new WeakSet()` and `new WeakMap()` make an empty collection when they get no argument, `undefined` or `null`. So `new Set([])` passes an array for nothing, and the fallback in `new Set(items ?? [])` never changes the result.

The rule reports `[]`, `""`, `null` and `undefined`, either as the only argument or on the right of `??`.

`--fix-suggestions` removes the argument or the fallback.
