Mustache expressions should be wrapped in template literals for consistency with typescript eslint rules

[AlbertMarashi]

Before You File a Bug Report Please Confirm You Have Done The Following...

• I'm using eslint-plugin-svelte. (*.svelte file linting does not work with the parser alone. You should also use eslint-plugin-svelte with it.)
• I'm sure the problem is a parser problem. (If you are not sure, search for the issue in eslint-plugin-svelte repo and open the issue in eslint-plugin-svelte repo if there is no solution.
• I have tried restarting my IDE and the issue persists.
• I have updated to the latest version of the packages.

What version of ESLint are you using?

0.41.0

What version of eslint-plugin-svelte and svelte-eslint-parser are you using?

• svelte-eslint-parser@0.41.0

What did you do?

The following is a major footgun and surface area for bugs.

<script lang="ts">

let obj = { 
  a: bool
}
</script>
<a href="/foo/{obj}">...</a>

Will result in

<a href="/foo/[object Object]">..</a>

Even in situations such as

Hello { obj }

We get

Hello [object Object]

There's exactly zero times that I've desired this behavior & almost always a surface area for bugs when refactoring props, types and etc.

This can quite easily occur throughout projects during refactoring or even just developer oversight. We should prevent this from occurring.

I view this as a quite serious typing issue, with no easy apparent remedies.

What did you expect to happen?

• making eslint-plugin-svelte capture these issues when using rules such as:

  • https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/restrict-template-expressions
  • https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/no-base-to-string

  This, requires values to be wrapped in template strings, so that typescript knows we are attempting to treat a given value as a string to be displayed

What actually happened?

<script lang="ts">
    const array = [1, 2, 3]
</script>
{#each array as e}
    {e}
{/each}

Gets turned into:

              
    const array = [1, 2, 3]
;function $_render1(){        
                  
Array.from(array).forEach((e) => {
    (ee);
});
}

When it should be

    const array = [1, 2, 3]
;function $_render1(){        
                  
Array.from(array).forEach((e) => {
    (`${ee}`);
});
}

Whoops sorry, couldn't figure out how to escape that code

There's no template literal syntax there, so I wouldn't parse it as a template literal.
I think it's reasonable to provide new rule that you're already working with.

@ota-meshi to clarify the reasoning for this is that mustache expressions are treated as strings to render in the DOM.

Therefore it makes sense to wrap them in template expressions for the purposes that typescript can understand that the return value is going to be a string.

This is logically the approach that would make sense in the virtual script code, I think the entire render code should be effectively viewed as essentially one big template literal
