require or disallow newlines around variable declarations (one-var-declaration-per-line)

The --fix option on the command line can automatically fix some of the problems reported by this rule.

Some developers declare multiple var statements on the same line:

var foo, bar, baz;

Others prefer to declare one var per line.

var foo,
    bar,
    baz;

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