Pattern: Malformed space inside array literal brackets

Issue: -

Description

Checks that brackets used for array literals have or don't have surrounding space depending on configuration.

Examples

EnforcedStyle: space

# The `space` style enforces that array literals have
# surrounding space.

# bad
array = [a, b, c, d]

# good
array = [ a, b, c, d ]

EnforcedStyle: no_space (default)

# The `no_space` style enforces that array literals have
# no surrounding space.

# bad
array = [ a, b, c, d ]

# good
array = [a, b, c, d]

EnforcedStyle: compact

# The `compact` style normally requires a space inside
# array brackets, with the exception that successive left
# or right brackets are collapsed together in nested arrays.

# bad
array = [ a, [ b, c ] ]

# good
array = [ a, [ b, c ]]

EnforcedStyleForEmptyBrackets: no_space (default)

# The `no_space` EnforcedStyleForEmptyBrackets style enforces that
# empty array brackets do not contain spaces.

# bad
foo = [ ]
bar = [     ]

# good
foo = []
bar = []

EnforcedStyleForEmptyBrackets: space

# The `space` EnforcedStyleForEmptyBrackets style enforces that
# empty array brackets contain exactly one space.

# bad
foo = []
bar = [    ]

# good
foo = [ ]
bar = [ ]
