lines-between-class-members

danger
This rule will soon be moved to eslint-stylistic. See What About Formatting? for more information.

Require or disallow an empty line between class members.

🔧

Some problems reported by this rule are automatically fixable by the --fix ESLint command line option.

This rule extends the base eslint/lines-between-class-members rule. It adds support for ignoring overload methods in a class.

How to Use​

.eslintrc.cjs
module.exports = {
  "rules": {
    // Note: you must disable the base rule as it can report incorrect errors
    "lines-between-class-members": "off",
    "@typescript-eslint/lines-between-class-members": "error"
  }
};
Try this rule in the playground ↗
