# no-empty-label: disallow labels for anything other than loops and switches

(removed) This rule was **removed** in ESLint v2.0 and **replaced** by the [no-labels](no-labels.md) rule.

Labeled statements are only used in conjunction with labeled break and continue statements. ECMAScript has no goto statement.


## Rule Details

This error occurs when a label is used to mark a statement that is not an iteration or switch

Example of **incorrect** code for this rule:

```js
/*eslint no-empty-label: "error"*/

labeled:
var x = 10;
```

Example of **correct** code for this rule:

```js
/*eslint no-empty-label: "error"*/

labeled:
for (var i=10; i; i--) {
    // ...
}
```

## When Not To Use It

If you don't want to be notified about usage of labels, then it's safe to disable this rule.
