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. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(off by default) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains (except in variable declarations and assignments) -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(off by default) 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. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(off by default) 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. -
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
(off by default) 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.
-
-
"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. -
"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.
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

require or disallow semicolons instead of ASI (semi)
JavaScript is unique amongst the C-like languages in that it doesn't require semicolons at the end of each statement. In many cases, the JavaScript engine can determine that a semicolon should be in a certain spot and will automatically add it. This feature is known as automatic semicolon insertion (ASI) and is considered one of the more controversial features of JavaScript. For example, the following lines are both valid:
var name = "ESLint"
var website = "eslint.org";
On the first line, the JavaScript engine will automatically insert a semicolon, so this is not considered a syntax error. The JavaScript engine still knows how to interpret the line and knows that the line end indicates the end of the statement.
In the debate over ASI, there are generally two schools of thought. The first is that we should treat ASI as if it didn't exist and always include semicolons manually. The rationale is that it's easier to always include semicolons than to try to remember when they are or are not required, and thus decreases the possibility of introducing an error.
However, the ASI mechanism can sometimes be tricky to people who are using semicolons. For example, consider this code:
return
{
name: "ESLint"
};
This may look like a return
statement that returns an object literal, however, the JavaScript engine will interpret this code as:
return;
{
name: "ESLint";
}
Effectively, a semicolon is inserted after the return
statement, causing the code below it (a labeled literal inside a block) to be unreachable. This rule and the [no-unreachable](no-unreachable.md) rule will protect your code from such cases.
On the other side of the argument are those who says that since semicolons are inserted automatically, they are optional and do not need to be inserted manually. However, the ASI mechanism can also be tricky to people who don't use semicolons. For example, consider this code:
var globalCounter = { }
(function () {
var n = 0
globalCounter.increment = function () {
return ++n
}
})()
In this example, a semicolon will not be inserted after the first line, causing a run-time error (because an empty object is called as if it's a function). The [no-unexpected-multiline](no-unexpected-multiline.md) rule can protect your code from such cases.
Although ASI allows for more freedom over your coding style, it can also make your code behave in an unexpected way, whether you use semicolons or not. Therefore, it is best to know when ASI takes place and when it does not, and have ESLint protect your code from these potentially unexpected cases. In short, as once described by Isaac Schlueter, a \n
character always ends a statement (just like a semicolon) unless one of the following is true:
- The statement has an unclosed paren, array literal, or object literal or ends in some other way that is not a valid way to end a statement. (For instance, ending with
.
or,
.) - The line is
--
or++
(in which case it will decrement/increment the next token.) - It is a
for()
,while()
,do
,if()
, orelse
, and there is no{
- The next line starts with
[
,(
,+
,*
,/
,-
,,
,.
, or some other binary operator that can only be found between two tokens in a single expression.
Rule Details
This rule enforces consistent use of semicolons.
Options
This rule has two options, a string option and an object option.
String option:
-
"always"
(default) requires semicolons at the end of statements -
"never"
disallows semicolons as the end of statements (except to disambiguate statements beginning with[
,(
,/
,+
, or-
)
Object option:
-
"omitLastInOneLineBlock": true
ignores the last semicolon in a block in which its braces (and therefore the content of the block) are in the same line
always
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default "always"
option:
/*eslint semi: ["error", "always"]*/
var name = "ESLint"
object.method = function() {
// ...
}
Examples of correct code for this rule with the default "always"
option:
/*eslint semi: "error"*/
var name = "ESLint";
object.method = function() {
// ...
};
never
Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the "never"
option:
/*eslint semi: ["error", "never"]*/
var name = "ESLint";
object.method = function() {
// ...
};
Examples of correct code for this rule with the "never"
option:
/*eslint semi: ["error", "never"]*/
var name = "ESLint"
object.method = function() {
// ...
}
var name = "ESLint"
;(function() {
// ...
})()
omitLastInOneLineBlock
Examples of additional correct code for this rule with the "always", { "omitLastInOneLineBlock": true }
options:
/*eslint semi: ["error", "always", { "omitLastInOneLineBlock": true}] */
if (foo) { bar() }
if (foo) { bar(); baz() }
When Not To Use It
If you do not want to enforce semicolon usage (or omission) in any particular way, then you can turn this rule off.

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. -
"outerIIFEBody"
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for file-level IIFEs. -
"MemberExpression"
(off by default) enforces indentation level for multi-line property chains (except in variable declarations and assignments) -
"FunctionDeclaration"
takes an object to define rules for function declarations.-
parameters
(off by default) 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. -
body
(default: 1) enforces indentation level for the body of a function declaration.
-
-
"FunctionExpression"
takes an object to define rules for function expressions.-
parameters
(off by default) 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. -
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
(off by default) 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.
-
-
"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. -
"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.
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

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

enforce variables to be declared either together or separately in functions (one-var)
Variables can be declared at any point in JavaScript code using var
, let
, or const
. There are many styles and preferences related to the declaration of variables, and one of those is deciding on how many variable declarations should be allowed in a single function.
There are two schools of thought in this regard:
- There should be just one variable declaration for all variables in the function. That declaration typically appears at the top of the function.
- You should use one variable declaration for each variable you want to define.
For instance:
// one variable declaration per function
function foo() {
var bar, baz;
}
// multiple variable declarations per function
function foo() {
var bar;
var baz;
}
The single-declaration school of thought is based in pre-ECMAScript 6 behaviors, where there was no such thing as block scope, only function scope. Since all var
statements are hoisted to the top of the function anyway, some believe that declaring all variables in a single declaration at the top of the function removes confusion around scoping rules.
Rule Details
This rule enforces variables to be declared either together or separately per function ( for var
) or block (for let
and const
) scope.
Options
This rule has one option, which can be a string option or an object option.
String option:
-
"always"
(default) requires one variable declaration per scope -
"never"
requires multiple variable declarations per scope
Object option:
-
"var": "always"
requires onevar
declaration per function -
"var": "never"

"initialized": "never"
requires multiple variable declarations for initialized variables per scope -
"uninitialized": "always"
requires one variable declaration for uninitialized variables per scope -

Disallow multiple spaces (no-multi-spaces)
Multiple spaces in a row that are not used for indentation are typically mistakes. For example:
if(foo === "bar") {}
It's hard to tell, but there are two spaces between foo
and ===
. Multiple spaces such as this are generally frowned upon in favor of single spaces:
if(foo === "bar") {}
Rule Details
This rule aims to disallow multiple whitespace around logical expressions, conditional expressions, declarations, array elements, object properties, sequences and function parameters.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint no-multi-spaces: "error"*/
var a = 1;
if(foo === "bar") {}
a << b
var arr = [1, 2];
a ? b: c
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint no-multi-spaces: "error"*/
var a = 1;
if(foo === "bar") {}
a << b
var arr = [1, 2];
a ? b: c
Options
To avoid contradictions if some other rules require multiple spaces, this rule has an option to ignore certain node types in the abstract syntax tree (AST) of JavaScript code.
exceptions
The exceptions
object expects property names to be AST node types as defined by ESTree. The easiest way to determine the node types for exceptions
is to use the online demo.
Only the Property
node type is ignored by default, because for the [key-spacing](key-spacing.md) rule some alignment options require multiple spaces in properties of object literals.
Examples of correct code for the default "exceptions": { "Property": true }
option:
/*eslint no-multi-spaces: "error"*/
/*eslint key-spacing: ["error", { align: "value" }]*/
var obj = {
first: "first",
second: "second"
};
Examples of incorrect code for the "exceptions": { "Property": false }
option:
/*eslint no-multi-spaces: ["error", { exceptions: { "Property": false } }]*/
/*eslint key-spacing: ["error", { align: "value" }]*/
var obj = {
first: "first",
second: "second"
};
Examples of correct code for the "exceptions": { "BinaryExpression": true }
option:
/*eslint no-multi-spaces: ["error", { exceptions: { "BinaryExpression": true } }]*/

Examples of correct code for the "exceptions": { "VariableDeclarator": true }
option:
/*eslint no-multi-spaces: ["error", { exceptions: { "VariableDeclarator": true } }]*/
var someVar = 'foo';
var someOtherVar = 'barBaz';
Examples of correct code for the "exceptions": { "ImportDeclaration": true }
option:
/*eslint no-multi-spaces: ["error", { exceptions: { "ImportDeclaration": true } }]*/
import mod from 'mod';

When Not To Use It
If you don't want to check and disallow multiple spaces, then you should turn this rule off.
