What it does

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

Why is this bad?

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

Example

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();
