@if/@else

A stylesheet author might want to treat @if and @else in a special manner, for example @else should be on the same line as its @if's closing brace while all the other blocks and at-rules has to have newline after their closing brace. stylelint-scss has some rules for this, but from the core stylelint's point of view, @if and @else SCSS statements are pretty much regular at-rules, so they comply to corresponding at-rule-... and block-... rules. Below are some configurations that might help you achieve the needed patterns.

---

Config 1: @else is on the same line as the preceding @if/@else's }, space between them. Empty line before all at-rules (except @else), space before {, newline after all } except @if's and @else's.

{
  "plugins": [
    "stylelint-scss"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "at-rule-empty-line-before": [
      "always", {
        "ignoreAtRules": [ "else" ]
      }
    ],
    "block-opening-brace-space-before": "always",
    "block-closing-brace-newline-after": [
      "always", {
        "ignoreAtRules": [ "if", "else" ]
      }
    ],
      "at-rule-name-space-after": "always",
      "rule-non-nested-empty-line-before": "always",

    "scss/at-else-closing-brace-newline-after": "always-last-in-chain",
    "scss/at-else-closing-brace-space-after": "always-intermediate",
    "scss/at-else-closing-brace-space-after": "always-intermediate",
    "scss/at-if-closing-brace-newline-after": "always-last-in-chain",
    "scss/at-if-closing-brace-space-after": "always-intermediate"
  }
}

This code is considered valid

@if {
  // ...
}

a {}

@if {
  // ...
} @else {
  // ...
}

a {}

@if {
  // ...
} @else if {
  // ...
} @else {
  // ...
}

@if {
  // ...
} @else
if {
  // ...
} @else {
  // ...
}

a {}

These patterns are considered non-valid:

@if {
  // ...
} a {}

@if {
  // ...
}@else {
  // ...
}

@if {
  // ...
} @else if{
  // ...
} @else {
  // ...
}

@if {
  // ...
} @else if{
  // ...
} @else {
  // ...
}

---

Config 2: @else is on a newline, no empty line before it.

{
  "plugins": [
    "stylelint-scss"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "at-rule-empty-line-before": [
      "always", {
        "ignoreAtRules": [ "else" ]
      }
    ],
    "at-rule-name-space-after": "always",
    "block-opening-brace-space-before": "always",
    "block-closing-brace-newline-after": "always",
    "at-else-empty-line-before": "never"
  }
}

This code is considered valid:

@if {
  // ...
}
@else {
  // ...
}

This code is considered non-valid:

@if {
  // ...
}

@else {
  // ...
}
