New option: rule-delimiter

[tonyganch]

Moved from #209:

I guess we should add an option like rule-delimiter which will set spaces between rulesets and media queries (this has been already discussed in #92).
It seems to me that this option should be more important than space-after-declaration (see #197).
So we can have, for example: { 'space-after-declaration': 1, 'rule-delimiter': '\n\n' }

// Before
a {
    color: tomato;
    top: 0;
    panda {
        position: happy;
    }
    raccoon {
        a: b;
    }
    foo: bar;
}
div {
    border: none;
}

// After
a {
    color: tomato; top: 0;

    panda {
        position: happy;
    }

    raccoon {
        a: b;
    }

    foo: bar;
}

div {
    border: none;
}

Alas, there is no way to achieve this with current settings.
We need to introduce new options to make this work.

[evenicoulddoit]

Big +1 from me. I just spent quite a while manually adding new lines in!

[lefoy]

Is this implemented with the new V3? I can't find the option in the docs.
#214

[tonyganch]

Is this implemented with the new V3?

@lefoy, nope

[lefoy]

Any idea when this will be implemented? Is it planned for the stable V3 release?

Hello, do we have an ETA for this? would be awesome

[tonyganch]

There is no ETA for this option.
But you can help by sending a PR.

[denisborovikov]

@thebugs I think it should accepts number of lines as parameter, not boolean.

[lefoy]

+1 for number of lines instead of boolean

[thebugs]

I've updated gist. Now it accepts number of lines as parameter

[denisborovikov]

@thebugs Thank you! Good job!

[FernE97]

@thebugs Thanks! Looks like there is a small issue though if you run csscomb more than once it keeps adding an extra line below the rule, so if you run it 3 times there are three blank lines under each rule.

[thebugs]

@FernE97 I use only scss. So if there are issues with other syntax - sorry.

[FernE97]

@thebugs I am using scss as well and that is where I'm noticing the issue. Wonder if there is something in my .csscomb.json config file that is conflicting with it.

Here is my config file minus the huge sort-order array.

{
    "remove-empty-rulesets": true,
    "always-semicolon": true,
    "color-case": "lower",
    "block-indent": "    ",
    "color-shorthand": true,
    "element-case": "lower",
    "eof-newline": true,
    "leading-zero": true,
    "quotes": "single",
    "sort-order-fallback": "abc",
    "space-before-colon": "",
    "space-after-colon": " ",
    "space-before-combinator": " ",
    "space-after-combinator": " ",
    "space-between-declarations": "\n",
    "space-before-opening-brace": " ",
    "space-after-opening-brace": "\n",
    "space-after-selector-delimiter": "\n",
    "space-before-selector-delimiter": "",
    "space-before-closing-brace": "\n",
    "strip-spaces": true,
    "tab-size": true,
    "unitless-zero": true,
    "vendor-prefix-align": true,
    "rules-delimiter": 1
}
