Require or disallow a space before function parenthesis (space-before-function-paren)
When formatting a function, whitespace is allowed between the function name or function
keyword and the opening paren. Named functions also require a space between the function
keyword and the function name, but anonymous functions require no whitespace. For example:
function withoutSpace(x) {
// ...
}
function withSpace (x) {
// ...
}
var anonymousWithoutSpace = function() {};
var anonymousWithSpace = function () {};
Style guides may require a space after the function
keyword for anonymous functions, while others specify no whitespace. Similarly, the space after a function name may or may not be required.
Rule Details
This rule aims to enforce consistent spacing before function parentheses and as such, will warn whenever whitespace doesn't match the preferences specified.
Options
This rule has a string option or an object option:
{
"space-before-function-paren": ["error", "always"],
// or
"space-before-function-paren": ["error", {
"anonymous": "always",
"named": "always",
"asyncArrow": "ignore"
}],
}
-
always
(default) requires a space followed by the(
of arguments. -
never
disallows any space followed by the(
of arguments.
The string option does not check async arrow function expressions for backward compatibility.
You can also use a separate option for each type of function.
Each of the following options can be set to "always"
, "never"
, or "ignore"
.
Default is "always"
basically.
-
anonymous
is for anonymous function expressions (e.g.function () {}
). -
named
is for named function expressions (e.g.function foo () {}
). -
asyncArrow
is for async arrow function expressions (e.g.async () => {}
).asyncArrow
is set to"ignore"
by default for backwards compatibility.

Require braces in arrow function body (arrow-body-style)
Arrow functions have two syntactic forms for their function bodies. They may be defined with a block body (denoted by curly braces) () => { ... }
or with a single expression () => ...
, whose value is implicitly returned.
Rule Details
This rule can enforce or disallow the use of braces around arrow function body.
Options
The rule takes one or two options. The first is a string, which can be:
-
"always"
enforces braces around the function body -
"as-needed"
enforces no braces where they can be omitted (default) -
"never"
enforces no braces around the function body (constrains arrow functions to the role of returning an expression)
The second one is an object for more fine-grained configuration when the first option is "as-needed"
. Currently, the only available option is requireReturnForObjectLiteral
, a boolean property. It's false
by default. If set to true
, it requires braces and an explicit return for object literals.

Require parens in arrow function arguments (arrow-parens)
Arrow functions can omit parentheses when they have exactly one parameter. In all other cases the parameter(s) must be wrapped in parentheses. This rule enforces the consistent use of parentheses in arrow functions.
Rule Details
This rule enforces parentheses around arrow function parameters regardless of arity. For example:
/*eslint-env es6*/
// Bad
a => {}
// Good
(a) => {}
Following this style will help you find arrow functions (=>
) which may be mistakenly included in a condition
when a comparison such as >=
was the intent.
/*eslint-env es6*/
// Bad
if (a => 2) {
}
// Good
if (a >= 2) {
}
The rule can also be configured to discourage the use of parens when they are not required:
/*eslint-env es6*/
// Bad
(a) => {}
// Good
a => {}
Options
This rule has a string option and an object one.
String options are:
-
"always"
(default) requires parens around arguments in all cases. -
"as-needed"
allows omitting parens when there is only one argument.
Object properties for variants of the "as-needed"
option:
-
"requireForBlockBody": true
modifies the as-needed rule in order to require parens if the function body is in an instructions block (surrounded by braces).
always
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default "always"
option:
/*eslint arrow-parens: ["error", "always"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
a => {};
a => a;
a => {'\n'};
a.then(foo => {});
a.then(foo => a);
a(foo => { if (true) {} });
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default "always"
option:
/*eslint arrow-parens: ["error", "always"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
() => {};
(a) => {};
(a) => a;
(a) => {'\n'}
a.then((foo) => {});
a.then((foo) => { if (true) {} });
If Statements
One of benefits of this option is that it prevents the incorrect use of arrow functions in conditionals:
/*eslint-env es6*/
var a = 1;
var b = 2;
// ...
if (a => b) {
console.log('bigger');
} else {
console.log('smaller');
}
// outputs 'bigger', not smaller as expected
The contents of the if
statement is an arrow function, not a comparison.
If the arrow function is intentional, it should be wrapped in parens to remove ambiguity.
/*eslint-env es6*/
var a = 1;
var b = 0;
// ...
if ((a) => b) {
console.log('truthy value returned');
} else {
console.log('falsey value returned');
}
// outputs 'truthy value returned'
The following is another example of this behavior:
/*eslint-env es6*/
var a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4;
var f = a => b ? c: d;
// f = ?
f
is an arrow function which takes a
as an argument and returns the result of b ? c: d
.
This should be rewritten like so:
/*eslint-env es6*/
var a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4;
var f = (a) => b ? c: d;
as-needed
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the "as-needed"
option:
/*eslint arrow-parens: ["error", "as-needed"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
(a) => {};
(a) => a;
(a) => {'\n'};
a.then((foo) => {});
a.then((foo) => a);
a((foo) => { if (true) {} });
Examples of correct code for this rule with the "as-needed"
option:
/*eslint arrow-parens: ["error", "as-needed"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
() => {};
a => {};
a => a;
a => {'\n'};
a.then(foo => {});
a.then(foo => { if (true) {} });
(a, b, c) => a;
(a = 10) => a;
([a, b]) => a;
({a, b}) => a;
requireForBlockBody
Examples of incorrect code for the { "requireForBlockBody": true }
option:
/*eslint arrow-parens: [2, "as-needed", { "requireForBlockBody": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
(a) => a;
a => {};
a => {'\n'};
a.map((x) => x * x);
a.map(x => {
return x * x;
});
a.then(foo => {});
Examples of correct code for the { "requireForBlockBody": true }
option:
/*eslint arrow-parens: [2, "as-needed", { "requireForBlockBody": true }]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/
(a) => {};
(a) => {'\n'};
a => ({});
() => {};
a => a;
a.then((foo) => {});
a.then((foo) => { if (true) {} });
a((foo) => { if (true) {} });
(a, b, c) => a;
(a = 10) => a;
([a, b]) => a;
({a, b}) => a;
