+- :wrench: The `--fix` option on the [command line](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/command-line-interface#fixing-problems) can automatically fix some of the problems reported by this rule.
+
+## :book: Rule Details
+
+This rule enforces whether the callback version or Promise version (which was introduced in Vue v2.1.0) should be used in `Vue.nextTick` and `this.$nextTick`.
+
+<eslint-code-block fix :rules="{'vue/next-tick-style': ['error']}">
+
+```vue
+<script>
+import { nextTick as nt } from 'vue';
+
+export default {
+  async mounted() {
+    /* ✓ GOOD */
+    nt().then(() => callback());
+    await nt(); callback();
+    Vue.nextTick().then(() => callback());
+    await Vue.nextTick(); callback();
+    this.$nextTick().then(() => callback());
+    await this.$nextTick(); callback();
+
+    /* ✗ BAD */
+    nt(() => callback());
+    nt(callback);
+    Vue.nextTick(() => callback());
+    Vue.nextTick(callback);
+    this.$nextTick(() => callback());
+    this.$nextTick(callback);
+  }
+}
+</script>
+```
+
+</eslint-code-block>
+
+## :wrench: Options
+Default is set to `promise`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "vue/next-tick-style": ["error", "promise" | "callback"]
+}
+```
+
+- `"promise"` (default) ... requires using the promise version.
+- `"callback"` ... requires using the callback version. Use this if you use a Vue version below v2.1.0.
+
+### `"callback"`
+
+<eslint-code-block fix :rules="{'vue/next-tick-style': ['error', 'callback']}">
+
+```vue
+<script>
+import { nextTick as nt } from 'vue';
+
+export default {
+  async mounted() {
+    /* ✓ GOOD */
+    nt(() => callback());
+    nt(callback);
