Pattern: Whitespace before a token

Issue: -

Description

Checks that there is no whitespace before a token. More specifically, it checks that it is not preceded with whitespace, or (if line breaks are allowed) all characters on the line before are whitespace. To allow line breaks before a token, set property allowLineBreaks to true.

Examples

To configure the check:

<module name="NoWhitespaceBefore"/>

To configure the check to allow line breaks before a DOT token:

<module name="NoWhitespaceBefore">
    <property name="tokens" value="DOT"/>
    <property name="allowLineBreaks" value="true"/>
</module>
