title: one-var-declaration-per-line
rule_type: suggestion
related_rules:
- one-var
---
Some developers declare multiple var statements on the same line:

```js
var foo, bar, baz;
```

Others prefer to declare one var per line.

```js
var foo,
    bar,
    baz;
```

Keeping to one of these styles across a project's codebase can help with maintaining code consistency.

## Rule Details

This rule enforces a consistent newlines around variable declarations. This rule ignores variable declarations inside `for` loop conditionals.
