JS.BASE.TEMPLATE.CURLY.SPACING

Require or disallow spacing around embedded expressions of template strings

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

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

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

Rule Details

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

Options

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

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

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

Examples

never

Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default "never" option:

Copy
/*eslint template-curly-spacing: "error"*/

`hello, ${ people.name}!`;
`hello, ${people.name }!`;

`hello, ${ people.name }!`;

Examples of correct code for this rule with the default "never" option:

Copy
/*eslint template-curly-spacing: "error"*/

`hello, ${people.name}!`;

`hello, ${
    people.name
}!`;

always

Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the "always" option:

Copy
/*eslint template-curly-spacing: ["error", "always"]*/

`hello, ${ people.name}!`;
`hello, ${people.name }!`;

`hello, ${people.name}!`;

Examples of correct code for this rule with the "always" option:

Copy
/*eslint template-curly-spacing: ["error", "always"]*/

`hello, ${ people.name }!`;

`hello, ${
    people.name
}!`;

When Not To Use It

If you don't want to be notified about usage of spacing inside of template strings, then it's safe to disable this rule.
