# `react-doctor/mobx-no-make-auto-observable-in-inheritance`

Unsupported MobX auto-observable inheritance

- **Category:** Bugs
- **Severity:** error
- **Source:** oxlint-plugin-react-doctor
- **Framework:** global
- **Enabled when:** mobx:6

## Validate the diagnostic

Confirm the reported code matches this rule before you edit it.

Confirm the reported code matches `react-doctor/mobx-no-make-auto-observable-in-inheritance`. Compare it with the Before example and verify the same API, framework, and execution context. Treat it as a false positive only when one of those conditions differs.

## Compare the code

The corrected pattern shows a focused way to address the diagnostic.

### Reported pattern

```ts
import { makeAutoObservable } from "mobx";

class TodoStore extends BaseStore {
  todos = [];

  addTodo(todo) {
    this.todos.push(todo);
  }

  constructor() {
    super();
    makeAutoObservable(this);
  }
}
```

### Corrected pattern

```ts
import { action, makeObservable, observable } from "mobx";

class TodoStore extends BaseStore {
  todos = [];

  addTodo(todo) {
    this.todos.push(todo);
  }

  constructor() {
    super();
    makeObservable(this, {
      todos: observable,
      addTodo: action,
    });
  }
}
```

## How to fix

Use the corrected pattern as a reference. Preserve behavior that the rule does not require you to change.

### Copyable fix prompt

Copy this self-contained prompt into your coding agent after you confirm the diagnostic.

````text
Fix every confirmed `react-doctor/mobx-no-make-auto-observable-in-inheritance` diagnostic in the current repository.

Required change:
- Replace inheritance with composition, or annotate inherited members explicitly with `makeObservable`.

Reference transformation:

Before:
```ts
import { makeAutoObservable } from "mobx";

class TodoStore extends BaseStore {
  todos = [];

  addTodo(todo) {
    this.todos.push(todo);
  }

  constructor() {
    super();
    makeAutoObservable(this);
  }
}
```

After:
```ts
import { action, makeObservable, observable } from "mobx";

class TodoStore extends BaseStore {
  todos = [];

  addTodo(todo) {
    this.todos.push(todo);
  }

  constructor() {
    super();
    makeObservable(this, {
      todos: observable,
      addTodo: action,
    });
  }
}
```

Constraints:
- Confirm the reported code matches the Before pattern.
- Make the smallest change that fixes the root cause.
- Preserve behavior and interfaces unrelated to this diagnostic.
- Reuse existing project components, utilities, and conventions.
- Do not introduce render-phase side effects, render-phase state updates, or Hooks rule violations.
- Adapt identifiers and framework details instead of copying blindly.
- Do not disable the rule or suppress matching code.
- Confirm this rule is enabled for the project: `mobx:6`.

Verification:
- Run focused tests for the changed behavior.
- Run React Doctor and confirm this diagnostic no longer appears.
- Report the files changed and any checks you could not run.
