no-useless-continue

📝 Disallow useless continue statements.

💼 This rule is enabled in the following configs: ✅ recommended, ☑️ unopinionated.

🔧 This rule is automatically fixable by the --fix CLI option.

A continue statement at the end of a loop iteration is unnecessary, since the loop advances to the next iteration anyway.

This mirrors the no-useless-return core rule.

Labeled continue statements are ignored, since they may target an outer loop.
