# enforce the location of single-line statements (nonblock-statement-body-position)
When writing `if`, `else`, `while`, `do-while`, and `for` statements, the body can be a single statement instead of a block. It can be useful to enforce a consistent location for these single statements.
For example, some developers avoid writing code like this:
```js
if (foo)
bar();
```
If another developer attempts to add `baz();` to the `if` statement, they might mistakenly change the code to
```js
if (foo)
bar();
baz(); // this line is not in the `if` statement!
```
To avoid this issue, one might require all single-line `if` statements to appear directly after the conditional, without a linebreak:
```js
if (foo) bar();
```
## Rule Details
This rule aims to enforce a consistent location for single-line statements.
Note that this rule does not enforce the usage of single-line statements in general. If you would like to disallow single-line statements, use the [`curly`](/docs/rules/curly.md) rule instead.
### Options
This rule accepts a string option:
* `"beside"` (default) disallows a newline before a single-line statement.
* `"below"` requires a newline before a single-line statement.
* `"any"` does not enforce the position of a single-line statement.
Additionally, the rule accepts an optional object option with an `"overrides"` key. This can be used to specify a location for particular statements that override the default. For example:
* `"beside", { "overrides": { "while": "below" } }` requires all single-line statements to appear on the same line as their parent, unless the parent is a `while` statement, in which case the single-line statement must not be on the same line.
* `"below", { "overrides": { "do": "any" } }` disallows all single-line statements from appearing on the same line as their parent, unless the parent is a `do-while` statement, in which case the position of the single-line statement is not enforced.
Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule with the default `"beside"` option:
```js
/* eslint nonblock-statement-body-position: ["error", "beside"] */
if (foo)
bar();
else
baz();
while (foo)
bar();
for (let i = 1; i < foo; i++)
bar();
do
bar();
while (foo)
```
Examples of **correct** code for this rule with the default `"beside"` option:
```js
/* eslint nonblock-statement-body-position: ["error", "beside"] */
if (foo) bar();
else baz();
while (foo) bar();
for (let i = 1; i < foo; i++) bar();
do bar(); while (foo)
if (foo) { // block statements are always allowed with this rule
bar();
} else {
baz();
}
```
Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule with the `"below"` option:
```js
/* eslint nonblock-statement-body-position: ["error", "below"] */
if (foo) bar();
else baz();
while (foo) bar();
for (let i = 1; i < foo; i++) bar();
do bar(); while (foo)
```
Examples of **correct** code for this rule with the `"below"` option:
```js
/* eslint nonblock-statement-body-position: ["error", "below"] */
if (foo)
bar();
else
baz();
while (foo)
bar();
for (let i = 1; i < foo; i++)
bar();
do
bar();
while (foo)
if (foo) {
// Although the second `if` statement is on the same line as the `else`, this is a very common
// pattern, so it's not checked by this rule.
} else if (bar) {
}
```
Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule with the `"beside", { "overrides": { "while": "below" } }` rule:
```js
/* eslint nonblock-statement-body-position: ["error", "beside", { "overrides": { "while": "below" } }] */
if (foo)
bar();
while (foo) bar();
```
Examples of **correct** code for this rule with the `"beside", { "overrides": { "while": "below" } }` rule:
```js
/* eslint nonblock-statement-body-position: ["error", "beside", { "overrides": { "while": "below" } }] */
if (foo) bar();
while (foo)
bar();
```
## When Not To Use It
If you're not concerned about consistent locations of single-line statements, you should not turn on this rule. You can also disable this rule if you're using the `"all"` option for the [`curly`](/docs/rules/curly.md) rule, because this will disallow single-line statements entirely.
