unicorn/no-lonely-if Pedantic

🚧 An auto-fix is planned for this rule, but not implemented at this time.

Disallow if statements as the only statement in if blocks without else.

It can be confusing to have an if statement without an else clause as the only statement in an if block.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

javascript

if (foo) {
  if (bar) {
  }
}
if (foo) if (bar) baz();

Examples of correct code for this rule:

javascript

if (foo && bar) {
}
if (foo && bar) baz();
