 When reporting a rule violation, it's preferred to provide the violation message with the `messageId` property instead of the `message` property. Message IDs provide the following benefits:
 
 * Rule violation messages can be stored in a central `meta.messages` object for convenient management

+
 ⚒️ The `--fix` option on the [command line](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/command-line-interface#--fix) can automatically fix some of the problems reported by this rule.
 
 Instead of repeating the test case `code`, using `output: null` is more concise and makes it easier to distinguish whether a test case provides an autofix.
