ESlint rule to add space in block before else block

Question

In this example

if (true) {
  doFirstThing();
  doSecondThing();
} else {
  doSomethingElse();
}

I want to add new line before each else and else if block.

if (true) {
  doFirstThing();
  doSecondThing();

} else {
  doSomethingElse();
}

Is there any ESlint rule that can do that?

Their is nothing listed on awesome/eslint, so you would need to write your own plugin. Since Prettier came out no one is writing formatting plugins for eslint anymore, so you may as well just give in and use that, even if it is not 100% to your liking
