# Disallow unnecessary calls to sourceCode.getFirstToken and sourceCode.getLastToken (no-useless-token-range)
AST nodes always start and end with tokens. As a result, the start index of the first token in a node is the same as the start index of the node itself, and the end index of the last token in a node is the same as the end index of the node itself. Using code like `sourceCode.getFirstToken(node).range[0]` unnecessarily hurts the performance of your rule, and makes your code less readable.
## Rule Details
This rule aims to avoid unnecessary calls to `sourceCode.getFirstToken` and `sourceCode.getLastToken`.
Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
```js
/* eslint eslint-plugin/no-useless-token-range: error */
module.exports = {
create(context) {
const sourceCode = context.getSourceCode();
const rangeStart = sourceCode.getFirstToken(node).range[0];
const rangeEnd = sourceCode.getLastToken(node).range[1];
}
};
```
Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
```js
/* eslint eslint-plugin/no-useless-token-range: error */
module.exports = {
create(context) {
const sourceCode = context.getSourceCode();
const rangeStart = node.range[0];
const rangeEnd = node.range[1];
}
};
```
## Known Limitations
* To ensure that your `SourceCode` instances can be detected, your rule must assign `context.getSourceCode()` to a variable somewhere.
## Further Reading
* [`SourceCode` API](https://eslint.org/docs/developer-guide/working-with-rules#contextgetsourcecode)
