Hybrid space_in_paren option, e.g. "});" rather than "} );"

[sbking]

Some JavaScript style guides, including idiomatic.js and the jQuery style guide, recommend a hybrid form of the spaces in brackets style. To summarize:

Function with a callback, object, or array as the sole argument. No space on either side of the argument:

foo(function() {
  // ...
});

foo({
  a: "alpha",
  b: "beta"
});

foo([ "alpha", "beta" ]);

Function with a callback, object, or array as the first argument. No space before the first argument:

foo(function() {
  // ...
}, options );

foo({
  a: "alpha",
  b: "beta"
}, options );

foo([ "alpha", "beta" ], options );

Function with a callback, object, or array as the last argument. No space after the last argument:

foo( "bar", function() {
  // ...
});

foo( "bar", {
  a: "alpha",
  b: "beta"
});

foo( "bar", [ "alpha", "beta" ]);

Is there any way we could get a "hybrid" mode for the space_in_paren option that implements these rules?

Also, the space_in_paren name is a bit misleading, as spaces are added to all brackets. space_in_brackets would be a more accurate name, but that's not a big deal.

Any news on this?
This is also a tricky one, as I like

[ "alpha", "beta" ];

but don't want

my_list[ i ];

Absolutely no news. You are welcome to submit a pull request or to fork. There are a number of higher priority features to be done before anyone on the project gets down to this one.

I will point out that the beautifier project has generally made "tricky" a non-goal, partly because the design make it very difficult (see #200). There are other projects that aim to handle any and all formatting settings you might like.

... My comment was not meant as an attack ...

👍 Sorry, didn't mean to come of defensive. 😄
Here is an additional retroactive smiley: 😃

Thanks 😍
To clarify: jsbeautify has always had all the options i needed, but now i'm working w/ a team that likes to space their array's brackets... I might convince them to run a more standard setup, i hope 🙏
