`continue` jumps to the next iteration from the middle of the loop body. In a long loop, you have to find every `continue` to know which lines run for which items. An `if` around the rest of the body shows that in the structure of the code.

`continue` with a label is reported too.

## Configure

Off by default. To turn it on:

```toml bunfig.toml
[lint.rules]
"no-continue" = "error" # or "warn"
```

{/* End of the generated section. */}

## Examples

Reported:

{/* bad */}
```js
for (const user of users) {
  if (!user.active) {
    continue;
  }
  notify(user);
}
```

Not reported:

{/* good */}
```js
for (const user of users) {
  if (user.active) {
    notify(user);
  }
}
```

## When not to use it

A `continue` at the top of a loop works like an early return and saves a level of indentation. If you prefer that style, leave this rule off.
