Space in empty parentheses

[mcharytoniuk]

I'd like an option to disable space in empty parens as a modifier to "space-in-paren" option.

Example

code with "--space-in-paren"

if ( foo ) {
    bar;
}

var baz = function ( ) {};

code with "--space-in-paren" without space in empty parens

if ( foo ) {
    bar;
}

var baz = function () {}; // no space inside function parens

I understand your intent here, but I don't think we should take this change now. At this time we don't want to add more options if we can avoid it.

If you want spaces inside parens, you take a space inside all parens including the empty ones. If you want no space inside your empty parens, take no space inside the non-empty ones as well.

js-beautifier is not a general purpose formatter. There are other projects that are attempting to do that.
@einars or @evocateur may countermand me if they disagree.

This request is now linked to #320, which remains open. At some point we may still take this feature.
