Enforces spacing around commas (comma-spacing)

Spacing around commas improves readability of a list of items. Although most of the style guidelines for languages prescribe adding a space after a comma and not before it, it is subjective to the preferences of a project.

var foo = 1, bar = 2;
var foo = 1 ,bar = 2;

Rule Details

This rule enforces consistent spacing before and after commas in variable declarations, array literals, object literals, function parameters, and sequences.

This rule does not apply in an ArrayExpression or ArrayPattern in either of the following cases:

Options

This rule has an object option:

  • "before": false (default) disallows spaces before commas
  • "before": true requires one or more spaces before commas
  • "after": true (default) requires one or more spaces after commas
  • "after": false disallows spaces after commas

after

Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the default { "before": false, "after": true } options:

/*eslint comma-spacing: ["error", { "before": false, "after": true }]*/

var foo = 1 ,bar = 2;
var arr = [1 , 2];
var obj = {"foo": "bar" ,"baz": "qur"};
foo(a ,b);
new Foo(a ,b);
function foo(a ,b){}
a ,b

Examples of correct code for this rule with the default { "before": false, "after": true } options:

/*eslint comma-spacing: ["error", { "before": false, "after": true }]*/

var foo = 1, bar = 2
    , baz = 3;
var arr = [1, 2];
var arr = [1,, 3]
var obj = {"foo": "bar", "baz": "qur"};
foo(a, b);
new Foo(a, b);
function foo(a, b){}
a, b

Example of correct code for this rule with initial null element for the default { "before": false, "after": true } options:

/*eslint comma-spacing: ["error", { "before": false, "after": true }]*/
/*eslint array-bracket-spacing: ["error", "always"]*/

var arr = [ , 2, 3 ]

before

Examples of incorrect code for this rule with the { "before": true, "after": false } options:

/*eslint comma-spacing: ["error", { "before": true, "after": false }]*/

var foo = 1, bar = 2;
var arr = [1 , 2];
var obj = {"foo": "bar", "baz": "qur"};
new Foo(a,b);
function foo(a,b){}
a, b

Examples of correct code for this rule with the { "before": true, "after": false } options:

/*eslint comma-spacing: ["error", { "before": true, "after": false }]*/

var foo = 1 ,bar = 2 ,
    baz = true;
var arr = [1 ,2];
var arr = [1 ,,3]
var obj = {"foo": "bar" ,"baz": "qur"};
foo(a ,b);
new Foo(a ,b);
function foo(a ,b){}
a ,b

Examples of correct code for this rule with initial null element for the { "before": true, "after": false } options:

/*eslint comma-spacing: ["error", { "before": true, "after": false }]*/
/*eslint array-bracket-spacing: ["error", "never"]*/

var arr = [,2 ,3]

When Not To Use It

If your project will not be following a consistent comma-spacing pattern, turn this rule off.
