library1.2.2jsnpmunverified

An ESLint plugin that provides a single fixable rule to enforce proper alignment of variable declarations. Version 1.2.2 is the latest stable release, with infrequent updates. It focuses exclusively on vertical spacing between var/let/const statements, offering automated fixes. Unlike general formatting tools like Prettier or eslint-plugin-prettier, it targets a specific niche, making it lightweight but limited in scope. The plugin is designed for projects that require consistent alignment of variable declarations.

Configures ESLint to use the varspacing plugin and enforce the var-spacing rule with colon alignment, then shows how variable declarations are linted and auto-fixed.

// .eslintrc.json { "plugins": ["varspacing"], "extends": ["plugin:varspacing/recommended"], "rules": { "varspacing/var-spacing": ["error", {"align": "colon"}] } } // Example code that will be flagged: var x = 1; var yyy = 2; var zz = 3; // After fix: var x = 1; var yyy = 2; var zz = 3;
