no-extra-label

break and continue without a label already apply to the innermost loop or switch. Naming that same statement's label changes nothing, and it sends the reader looking for an outer loop that isn't there.

--fix removes the label after break or continue.

Configure

Off by default. To turn it on:

[lint.rules]
"no-extra-label" = "error" # or "warn"

Examples

Reported:

search: for (const item of items) {
  if (item.id === id) {
    select(item);
    break search;
  }
}

Not reported:

for (const item of items) {
  if (item.id === id) {
    select(item);
    break;
  }
}

You do need a label to leave an outer loop from an inner one:

rows: for (const row of table) {
  for (const cell of row) {
    if (cell === target) {
      break rows;
    }
  }
}
