js/one-var-declaration-per-line ​

Some developers declare multiple var statements on the same line:

js
var foo, bar, baz;

Others prefer to declare one var per line.

js
var foo,
    bar,
    baz;

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