require an empty line before return statements (newline-before-return)

要求 return 语句之前有一空行 (newline-before-return)

The --fix option on the command line can automatically fix some of the problems reported by this rule.

命令行中的 --fix 选项可以自动修复一些该规则报告的问题。

This rule was deprecated in ESLint v4.0.0 and replaced by the padding-line-between-statements rule.

该规则在 ESLint v4.0.0 中 已弃用，被 padding-line-between-statements 替代。

There is no hard and fast rule about whether empty lines should precede return statements in JavaScript. However, clearly delineating where a function is returning can greatly increase the readability and clarity of the code. For example:

在 JavaScript 中，并没有硬性的规定在 return 语句之前应该有空行。然而，清晰的描述函数的返回位置可以大大提高可读性和代码的清晰度。例如：

function foo(bar) {
  var baz = 'baz';
  if (!bar) {
    bar = baz;
    return bar;
  }
  return bar;
}

Adding newlines visibly separates the return statements from the previous lines, making it clear where the function exits and what value it returns:

通过在 return 语句和它之前的语句之间添加空行，可以使函数的退出位置以及函数的返回值更加清晰：

function foo(bar) {
  var baz = 'baz';

  if (!bar) {
    bar = baz;

    return bar;
  }

  return bar;
}

Rule Details

This rule requires an empty line before return statements to increase code clarity, except when the return is alone inside a statement group (such as an if statement). In the latter case, the return statement does not need to be delineated by virtue of it being alone. Comments are ignored and do not count as empty lines.

该规则要求在 return 语句之前添加空行以提高代码清晰度，除了 return 语句空中的唯一语句（比如 if 语句）。注释将被忽略，而且不会记为空行。

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

错误 代码示例：

/*eslint newline-before-return: "error"*/

function foo(bar) {
    if (!bar) {
        return;
    }
    return bar;
}

function foo(bar) {
    if (!bar) {
        return;
    }
    /* multi-line
    comment */
    return bar;
}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

正确 代码示例：

/*eslint newline-before-return: "error"*/

function foo() {
    return;
}

function foo() {

    return;
}

function foo(bar) {
    if (!bar) return;
}

function foo(bar) {
    if (!bar) { return };
}

function foo(bar) {
    if (!bar) {
        return;
    }
}

function foo(bar) {
    if (!bar) {
        return;
    }

    return bar;
}

function foo(bar) {
    if (!bar) {

        return;
    }
}

function foo() {

    // comment
    return;
}

When Not To Use It

You can safely disable this rule if you do not have any strict conventions about whitespace before return statements.

如果你对 return 语句之前的空白没有严格的约定，你可以禁用此规则。
