Remove-Redundant-If-Statement

Sourcery rule id: remove-redundant-if-statement

Description

Remove an if statement where the condition is true.

Before

if (true) {
  console.log("great!")
}

After

console.log("great!")

Explanation

If the condition of an if statement is true, its body will always be executed. Conversely, if the condition is always false, then its body will never be executed. In the first case, we can replace the if statement with its body, and in the second case we can remove it altogether.
