🔧 This rule is automatically fixable by the [`--fix` CLI option](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/user-guide/command-line-interface#--fix).

<!-- end auto-generated rule header -->

Enforces having one or more empty lines after the last top-level import statement or require call.

## Rule Details

This rule supports the following options:

 - `count` which sets the number of newlines that are enforced after the last top-level import statement or require call. This option defaults to `1`.

 - `exactCount` which enforce the exact numbers of newlines that is mentioned in `count`. This option defaults to `false`.

 - `considerComments` which enforces the rule on comments after the last import-statement as well when set to true. This option defaults to `false`.

Valid:

```js
import defaultExport from './foo';

const FOO = 'BAR';
```

```js
import defaultExport from './foo';
import { bar }  from 'bar-lib';

const FOO = 'BAR';
```

```js
const FOO = require('./foo');
const BAR = require('./bar');

const BAZ = 1;
```

Invalid:

```js
import * as foo from 'foo'
const FOO = 'BAR';
```

```js
import * as foo from 'foo';
const FOO = 'BAR';

import { bar }  from 'bar-lib';
```

```js
const FOO = require('./foo');
const BAZ = 1;
const BAR = require('./bar');
```

With `count` set to `2` this will be considered valid:

```js
import defaultExport from './foo';


const FOO = 'BAR';
```

```js
import defaultExport from './foo';



const FOO = 'BAR';
```

With `count` set to `2` these will be considered invalid:

```js
import defaultExport from './foo';
const FOO = 'BAR';
```

```js

const FOO = 'BAR';
```

With `count` set to `2` and `exactCount` set to `true` this will be considered valid:

```js
import defaultExport from './foo';
