no-empty-block

added in: 1.5.0
style
preset: recommended

Disallows empty blocks except catch clause block. Blocks with a todo comment inside are not considered empty.

Empty blocks are often indicators of missing code.

Example​

❌ Bad:

  // LINT
  if ( ... ) {

  }

  [1, 2, 3, 4].forEach((val) {}); // LINT


  void function() {} // LINT

✅ Good:

  if ( ... ) {
    // TODO(developername): need to implement.
  }

  [1, 2, 3, 4].forEach((val) {
    // TODO(developername): need to implement.
  });


  void function() {
    // TODO(developername): need to implement.
  }
