This rules disallows using arrow functions to defined watcher.The reason is arrow functions bind the parent context, so this will not be the Vue instance as you expect.(see here for more details (opens new window))

<script>
export default {
  watch: {
    /* ✓ GOOD */
    a: function (val, oldVal) {
      console.log('new: %s, old: %s', val, oldVal)
    },
    b: 'someMethod',
    c: {
      handler: function (val, oldVal) { /* ... */ },
      deep: true
    },
    d: {
      handler: 'someMethod',
      immediate: true
    },

        /* ... */
      }
    ],
