dollar-variable-empty-line-before

Require an empty line or disallow empty lines before $-variable declarations.

If the $-variable declaration is the first declaration in a file, it's ignored.

             /* ← */
$width: 10px;   ↑
/**             ↑
 * This empty line */

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

Options

string: "always"|"never"

"always"

There must always be one empty line before a $-variable declaration.

The following patterns are considered warnings:

@import '1.css';
$var2: 200px;

a {
  $var: 1;
}

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

$var: 100px; // The first declaration in a stylesheet

a { color: red; }

$var: 1;

"never"

There must never be an empty line before a $-variable declaration.

The following patterns are considered warnings:

a { color: red; }

$var: 1;

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

$var: 100px;
$var2: 200px;

a {
  width: auto;
}
$var: 1;

Optional secondary options

except: ["first-nested", "after-comment", "after-dollar-variable"]

"first-nested"

Reverse the primary option for a $-variable declaration if it's the first child of its parent.

For example, with "always":

The following patterns are considered warnings:

a {

  $var: 1;
  color: red;
}

b {
  color: red;

  $var: 1;
}

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

a {
  $var: 1;
  color: red;
}

b {
  color: red;
  $var: 1;
}

"after-comment"

Reverse the primary option for $-variable declarations that go after comments.

For example, with "always":

The following patterns are considered warnings:

a {
  // comment

  $var: 1;
}

b {
  /* comment */

  $var: 1;
}

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

a {
  // comment
  $var: 1;
}

"after-dollar-variable"

Reverse the primary option for $-variable declarations that go right after another $-variable declaration.

For example, with "always":

The following patterns are considered warnings:

a {

  $var: 1; // this one is ok

  $var1: 2; // and this one shouldn't have a preceding empty line
}

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

a {

  $var: 1;
  $var1: 2;
}

ignore: ["after-comment", "inside-single-line-block"]

"after-comment"

Ignore $-variables that go after a comment.

For example, with "always":

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

// comment
$var: 1

/* comment */
$var2: 1;

"inside-single-line-block"

Ignore $-variables that are inside single-line blocks.

For example, with "always":

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

a { $var: 10; }

disableFix: true
