template-curly-spacing ​

We can embed expressions in template strings with using a pair of ${ and }.

This rule can force usage of spacing within the curly brace pair according to style guides.

js
let hello = `hello, ${people.name}!`;

Rule Details ​

This rule aims to maintain consistency around the spacing inside of template literals.

Options ​

{
    "template-curly-spacing": ["error", "never"]
}

This rule has one option which has either "never" or "always" as value.

  • "never" (by default) - Disallows spaces inside of the curly brace pair.
  • "always" - Requires one or more spaces inside of the curly brace pair.
