object-curly-spacing
While formatting preferences are very personal, a number of style guides require or disallow spaces between curly braces in the following situations:
// simple object literals
var obj = { foo: "bar" };
// nested object literals
var obj = { foo: { zoo: "bar" } };
// destructuring assignment (EcmaScript 6)
var { x, y } = y;
// import/export declarations (EcmaScript 6)
import { foo } from "bar";
export { foo };
Rule Details
This rule enforces consistent spacing inside braces of object literals, destructuring assignments, and import/export specifiers.
Options
This rule has two options, a string option and an object option.
String option:
"never"
(default) disallows spacing inside of braces"always"
requires spacing inside of braces (except{}
)
Object option:
"arraysInObjects": true
requires spacing inside of braces of objects beginning and/or ending with an array element (applies when the first option is set tonever
)"arraysInObjects": false
disallows spacing inside of braces of objects beginning and/or ending with an array element (applies when the first option is set toalways
)"objectsInObjects": true
requires spacing inside of braces of objects beginning and/or ending with an object element (applies when the first option is set tonever
)"objectsInObjects": false
disallows spacing inside of braces of objects beginning and/or ending with an object element (applies when the first option is set toalways
)
never
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default "never"
option:
/*eslint @stylistic/object-curly-spacing: ["error", "never"]*/
var obj = { 'foo': 'bar' };
var obj = {'foo': 'bar' };
var obj = { baz: {'foo': 'qux'}, bar};
var obj = {baz: { 'foo': 'qux'}, bar};
var {x } = y;
import { foo } from 'bar';
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default "never"
option:
/*eslint @stylistic/object-curly-spacing: ["error", "never"]*/
var obj = {'foo': 'bar'};
var obj = {'foo': {'bar': 'baz'}, 'qux': 'quxx'};
var obj = {
'foo': 'bar'
};
var obj = {'foo': 'bar'
};
var obj = {
'foo':'bar'};
var obj = {};
var {x} = y;
import {foo} from 'bar';
always
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the "always"
option:
/*eslint @stylistic/object-curly-spacing: ["error", "always"]*/
var obj = {'foo': 'bar'};
var obj = {'foo': 'bar' };
var obj = { baz: {'foo': 'qux'}, bar};
var obj = {baz: { 'foo': 'qux' }, bar};
var obj = {'foo': 'bar'
};
var obj = {
'foo':'bar'};
var {x} = y;
import {foo } from 'bar';
Examples of correct code for this rule with the "always"
option:
/*eslint @stylistic/object-curly-spacing: ["error", "always"]*/
var obj = {};
var obj = { 'foo': 'bar' };
var obj = { 'foo': { 'bar': 'baz' }, 'qux': 'quxx' };
var obj = {
'foo': 'bar'
};
var { x } = y;
import { foo } from 'bar';
arraysInObjects
Examples of additional correct code for this rule with the "never", { "arraysInObjects": true }
options:
/*eslint @stylistic/object-curly-spacing: ["error", "never", { "arraysInObjects": true }]*/
var obj = {"foo": [ 1, 2 ] };
var obj = {"foo": [ "baz", "bar" ] };
Examples of additional correct code for this rule with the "always", { "arraysInObjects": false }
options:
/*eslint @stylistic/object-curly-spacing: ["error", "always", { "arraysInObjects": false }]*/
var obj = { "foo": [ 1, 2 ]};
var obj = { "foo": [ "baz", "bar" ]};
objectsInObjects
Examples of additional correct code for this rule with the "never", { "objectsInObjects": true }
options:
/*eslint @stylistic/object-curly-spacing: ["error", "never", { "objectsInObjects": true }]*/
var obj = {"foo": {"baz": 1, "bar": 2} };
Examples of additional correct code for this rule with the "always", { "objectsInObjects": false }
options:
/*eslint @stylistic/object-curly-spacing: ["error", "always", { "objectsInObjects": false }]*/
var obj = { "foo": { "baz": 1, "bar": 2 }};
When Not To Use It
You can turn this rule off if you are not concerned with the consistency of spacing between curly braces.
