Enforce Usage of Spacing in Template Strings (template-curly-spacing)

The --fix option on the command line can automatically fix some of the problems reported by this rule.

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.

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

Rule Details

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

Options

    "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.
