I use Sublime Text 3 every day, and I particularly appreciate its JavaScript auto-complete feature.

However, there’s an issue with the default completion for if statements; it includes an unnecessary semicolon at the end:

if (true) {
}

When using JSHint, this semicolon generates an error for most of the code I write. Having to manually delete it each time is counterproductive.

Solution for the Problem

1. Navigate to Preferences → Browse Packages to open the Sublime Text folder.
2. Locate the folder named JavaScript (create one if it doesn’t exist).
3. Inside this folder, open if.sublime-snippet (create one if it doesn’t exist).
4. Remove the semi-colon so that your snippet now looks like this:

    <snippet>
        <content><![CDATA[if (${1:true}) {${0:$TM_SELECTED_TEXT}}]]></content>
        <tabTrigger>if</tabTrigger>
        <scope>source.js</scope>
        <description>if</description>
    </snippet>

By following these steps, you can eliminate the unnecessary semicolon and make your coding process more efficient.
