at-else-empty-line-before

Require an empty line or disallow empty lines before @-else.

@if ($a == 0) { }
                      /* ← */
@else if ($x == 2) { }   ↑
                         ↑
/**                      ↑
 * This empty line */

@if and @else statements might need to have different behavior than all the other at-rules. For that you might need to set "ignoreAtRules": ["else"] for stylelint's core rule at-rule-empty-line-before. But that would make you unable to disallow empty lines before @else while forcing it to be on a new line. This rule is designed to solve exactly that.

Options

string: "never"

There is no "always", "always-single-line" options, because for such cases stylelint's at-rule-empty-line-before would work.

"never"

There must never be an empty line before @else statements.

The following patterns are considered warnings:

@if ($x == 1) {
  // ...
}

@else {}

@if ($x == 1) {
  // ...
} @else if ($x == 2) {
  // ...
}


@else { }

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

@if ($x == 1) {
  // ...
} @else if ($x == 2) {
  // ...
} @else {}
      
a {
  @if ($x == 1) {
    // ...
  }
  @else ($x == 2) {
    // ...
  }
}
