no-empty-label

Disallows labels for anything other than loops and switches.

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

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:

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

labeled:
var x = 10;

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

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

This rule was introduced in ESLint v0.0.9 and removed in v2.0.0-rc.0.
