# no-empty
Disallow empty block statements.
Block statements with nothing in them are very common when refactoring, however they can get confusing really quickly. This rule reports empty block statements and empty switch case blocks if they do not have a comment.
# Invalid Code Examples
{}
if (foo) {
}
# Correct Code Examples

/* todo */
