Prevent confusing if-statement usage
See original GitHub issueIs there a way to configure eslint to prevent confusing if-statements like the following?
if (condition) {
// stuff
} if (anotherUnrelatedCondition) {
// more
}
This is confusing because at first glance it looks like the second if is an else if, but it’s not.
I couldn’t find a rule to enforce this. It seems that this could potentially be part of the keyword-spacing rule. Perhaps an option to require newlines, not just a space, before certain keywords.
But I’m not sure this is the right approach. Thoughts?
