### `checksSpreads`

If you don't want to check object spreads, you can add this configuration:

```json
{
  "@typescript-eslint/no-misused-promises": [
    "error",
    {
      "checksSpreads": false
    }
  ]
}
```

Examples of code for this rule with `checksSpreads: true`:

#### ❌ Incorrect

```ts option='{ "checksSpreads": true }'
const getData = () => someAsyncOperation({ myArg: 'foo' });

return { foo: 42, ...getData() };

const getData2 = async () => {
  await someAsyncOperation({ myArg: 'foo' });
};

return { foo: 42, ...getData2() };
```

#### ✅ Correct

```ts option='{ "checksSpreads": true }'
const getData = () => someAsyncOperation({ myArg: 'foo' });

return { foo: 42, ...(await getData()) };

const getData2 = async () => {
  await someAsyncOperation({ myArg: 'foo' });
};

return { foo: 42, ...(await getData2()) };
```

## When Not To Use It

This rule can be difficult to enable on large existing projects that set up many misused Promises.
Alternately, if you're not worried about crashes from floating or misused Promises -such as if you have global unhandled Promise handlers registered- then in some cases it may be safe to not use this rule.
You might consider using [ESLint disable comments](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/rules#using-configuration-comments-1) for those specific situations instead of completely disabling this rule.
