Require or disallow spaces following keywords (space-after-keywords)

Some style guides will require or disallow spaces following the certain keywords.

    doSomething();
} else {
    doSomethingElse();
}

if(condition) {
    doSomething();
}else{
    doSomethingElse();
}

Rule Details

This rule will enforce consistency of spacing after the keywords if, else, for, while, do, switch, try, catch, finally, and with.

This rule takes one argument. If it is "always" then the keywords must be followed by at least one space. If "never" then there should be no spaces following. The default is "always".

The following patterns are considered warnings:

if(a) {}

if (a) {} else{}

do{} while (a);

// When ["never"]
if (a) {}

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

if (a) {}

if (a) {} else {}

// When ["never"]
if(a) {}

Version

This rule was introduced in ESLint 0.6.0.
