enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"
(default: 0) enforces indentation level forcase
clauses inswitch
statements -
"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. It can also be"first"
, indicating all the declarators should be aligned with the first declarator. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for MemberExpression indentation. -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionDeclaration parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionExpression parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet
, 6 spaces forconst
statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 4 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of tab with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 2 tabs with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 2 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 8 spaces.

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"
(default: 0) enforces indentation level forcase
clauses inswitch
statements -
"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. It can also be"first"
, indicating all the declarators should be aligned with the first declarator. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for MemberExpression indentation. -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionDeclaration parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionExpression parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet
, 6 spaces forconst
statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 4 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of tab with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 2 tabs with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 2 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 8 spaces.

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"
(default: 0) enforces indentation level forcase
clauses inswitch
statements -
"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. It can also be"first"
, indicating all the declarators should be aligned with the first declarator. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for MemberExpression indentation. -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionDeclaration parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionExpression parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet
, 6 spaces forconst
statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 4 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of tab with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 2 tabs with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression

set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with

Require Following Curly Brace Conventions (curly)
JavaScript allows the omission of curly braces when a block contains only one statement. However, it is considered by many to be best practice to never omit curly braces around blocks, even when they are optional, because it can lead to bugs and reduces code clarity. So the following:
if (foo) foo++;
Can be rewritten as:
if (foo) {
foo++;
}
There are, however, some who prefer to only use braces when there is more than one statement to be executed.
Rule Details
This rule is aimed at preventing bugs and increasing code clarity by ensuring that block statements are wrapped in curly braces. It will warn when it encounters blocks that omit curly braces.
Options
all
Examples of incorrect code for the default "all"
option:
/*eslint curly: "error"*/
if (foo) foo++;
while (bar)

}
while (bar) {

} else {
qux();
}
multi
By default, this rule warns whenever if
, else
, for
, while
, or do
are used without block statements as their body. However, you can specify that block statements should be used only when there are multiple statements in the block and warn when there is only one statement in the block.
Examples of incorrect code for the "multi"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi"]*/
if (foo) {
foo++;
}
if (foo) bar();
else {
foo++;
}
while (true) {
doSomething();
}
for (var i=0; i < items.length; i++) {
doSomething();
}
Examples of correct code for the "multi"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi"]*/
if (foo) foo++;
else foo();
while (true) {
doSomething();
doSomethingElse();
}
multi-line
Alternatively, you can relax the rule to allow brace-less single-line if
, else if
, else
, for
, while
, or do
, while still enforcing the use of curly braces for other instances.
Examples of incorrect code for the "multi-line"
option:
/*eslint curly: ["error", "multi-line"]*/
if (foo)
doSomething();
else
doSomethingElse();
if (foo) foo(

while (foo);
while (foo
&& bar) baz();
if (foo) {
foo++;
}
if (foo) { foo++; }
while (true) {
doSomething();
doSomethingElse();
}
multi-or-nest
You can use another configuration that forces brace-less if
, else if
, else
, for

, or do
if their body contains only one single-line statement. And forces braces in all other cases.

}
for (var i = 0; foo; i++) {
doSomething();
}
if (foo)
// some comment

}
if (foo)
foo++;
while (true)
doSomething();
for (var i = 0; foo; i++)
doSomething();
if (foo) {
// some comment

}
consistent
When using any of the multi*
options, you can add an option to enforce all bodies of a if
,
else if
and else
chain to be with or without braces.

to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet
, 6 spaces forconst
statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 4 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of tab with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 2 tabs with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 2 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 8 spaces.

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {

This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"

"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. It can also be"first"
, indicating all the declarators should be aligned with the first declarator. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for MemberExpression indentation. -
"FunctionDeclaration"

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {

}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {

}
}
This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"
(default: 0) enforces indentation level forcase
clauses inswitch
statements -
"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. It can also be"first"
, indicating all the declarators should be aligned with the first declarator. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for MemberExpression indentation. -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionDeclaration parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionExpression parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet
, 6 spaces forconst
statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 4 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of tab with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 2 tabs with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 2 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression

(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionExpression parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet
, 6 spaces forconst
statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 4 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of tab with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 2 tabs with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 2 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 8 spaces.

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/

declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst

, indicating all the declarators should be aligned with the first declarator. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {

}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {

}
}
This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"
(default: 0) enforces indentation level forcase
clauses inswitch
statements -
"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. It can also be"first"
, indicating all the declarators should be aligned with the first declarator. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for MemberExpression indentation. -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionDeclaration parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionExpression parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet
, 6 spaces forconst
statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 4 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of tab with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 2 tabs with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 2 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with

to disable checking for MemberExpression indentation. -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionDeclaration parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionExpression parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"
(default: 0) enforces indentation level forcase
clauses inswitch
statements -
"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. It can also be"first"
, indicating all the declarators should be aligned with the first declarator. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for MemberExpression indentation. -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionDeclaration parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionExpression parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet
, 6 spaces forconst
statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 4 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of tab with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 2 tabs with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 2 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 8 spaces.

This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"
(default: 0) enforces indentation level forcase
clauses inswitch
statements -
"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. It can also be"first"
, indicating all the declarators should be aligned with the first declarator. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for MemberExpression indentation. -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionDeclaration parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionExpression parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet
, 6 spaces forconst
statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"
(default: 0) enforces indentation level forcase
clauses inswitch
statements -
"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. It can also be"first"
, indicating all the declarators should be aligned with the first declarator. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for MemberExpression indentation. -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionDeclaration parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionExpression parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet
, 6 spaces forconst
statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 4 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of tab with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 2 tabs with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 2 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with

set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with

For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {

}
}
This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"
(default: 0) enforces indentation level forcase
clauses inswitch
statements -
"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. It can also be"first"
, indicating all the declarators should be aligned with the first declarator. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for MemberExpression indentation. -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionDeclaration parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionExpression parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet

statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 4 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of tab with
SwitchCase

enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford

Expected indentation of 4 spaces but found 2 tabs. Open

- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
enforce consistent indentation (indent)
There are several common guidelines which require specific indentation of nested blocks and statements, like:
function hello(indentSize, type) {
if (indentSize === 4 && type !== 'tab') {
console.log('Each next indentation will increase on 4 spaces');
}
}
These are the most common scenarios recommended in different style guides:
- Two spaces, not longer and no tabs: Google, npm, Node.js, Idiomatic, Felix
- Tabs: jQuery
- Four spaces: Crockford
Rule Details
This rule enforces a consistent indentation style. The default style is 4 spaces
.
Options
This rule has a mixed option:
For example, for 2-space indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", 2]
}
Or for tabbed indentation:
{
"indent": ["error", "tab"]
}
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default options:
/*eslint indent: "error"*/
if (a) {
b=c;
function foo(d) {
e=f;
}
}
This rule has an object option:
-
"SwitchCase"
(default: 0) enforces indentation level forcase
clauses inswitch
statements -
"VariableDeclarator"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level forvar
declarators; can also take an object to define separate rules forvar
,let
andconst
declarations. It can also be"first"
, indicating all the declarators should be aligned with the first declarator. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for MemberExpression indentation. -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function declaration. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the declaration must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionDeclaration parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for parameters in a function expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all parameters of the expression must be aligned with the first parameter. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for FunctionExpression parameters. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function expression.
-
-
"CallExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function call expressions.-
arguments
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for arguments in a call expression. This can either be a number indicating indentation level, or the string"first"
indicating that all arguments of the expression must be aligned with the first argument. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for CallExpression arguments.
-
-
"ArrayExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for elements in arrays. It can also be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all the elements in the array should be aligned with the first element. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for array elements. -
"ObjectExpression"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for properties in objects. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all properties in the object should be aligned with the first property. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for object properties. -
"ImportDeclaration"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for import statements. It can be set to the string"first"
, indicating that all imported members from a module should be aligned with the first member in the list. This can also be set to"off"
to disable checking for imported module members. -
"flatTernaryExpressions": true
(false
by default) requires no indentation for ternary expressions which are nested in other ternary expressions. -
"ignoredNodes"
accepts an array of selectors. If an AST node is matched by any of the selectors, the indentation of tokens which are direct children of that node will be ignored. This can be used as an escape hatch to relax the rule if you disagree with the indentation that it enforces for a particular syntactic pattern. -
"ignoreComments"
(default: false) can be used when comments do not need to be aligned with nodes on the previous or next line.
Level of indentation denotes the multiple of the indent specified. Example:
- Indent of 4 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 8 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
VariableDeclarator
set to{"var": 2, "let": 2, "const": 3}
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 4 spaces forvar
andlet
, 6 spaces forconst
statements. - Indent of tab with
VariableDeclarator
set to2
will indent the multi-line variable declarations with 2 tabs. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to0
will not indentcase
clauses with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to1
will indentcase
clauses with 2 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 4 spaces with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of tab with
SwitchCase
set to2
will indentcase
clauses with 2 tabs with respect toswitch
statements. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 2 spaces. - Indent of 2 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to0
will indent the multi-line property chains with 0 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to1
will indent the multi-line property chains with 4 spaces. - Indent of 4 spaces with
MemberExpression
set to2
will indent the multi-line property chains with 8 spaces.
