# eslint-plugin/fixer-return

📝 Require fixer functions to return a fix.

💼 This rule is enabled in the ✅ `recommended` [config](https://github.com/eslint-community/eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin#presets).

In a [fixable](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/extend/custom-rules#applying-fixes) rule, a fixer function is useless if it never returns anything.

      },
    });
