Pattern: if without braces

Issue: -

Description

Some people find if clauses with braces easier to read. The singleLineAllowed property allows if constructions of the type:

if (bool_expression) expression1 else expression2

The doubleLineAllowed property allows if constructions of the type:

if (bool_expression) expression1
else expression2

Note: If you intend to enable only if expressions in the format below, disable the IfBraceChecker altogether.

if (bool_expression)
  expression1
else
  expression2
