require or disallow newline at the end of files (eol-last)
The --fix
option on the command line can automatically fix some of the problems reported by this rule.
Trailing newlines in non-empty files are a common UNIX idiom. Benefits of trailing newlines include the ability to concatenate or append to files as well as output files to the terminal without interfering with shell prompts.
Rule Details
This rule enforces at least one newline (or absence thereof) at the end of non-empty files.
Prior to v0.16.0 this rule also enforced that there was only a single line at the end of the file. If you still want this behaviour, consider enabling no-multiple-empty-lines with maxEOF
and/or no-trailing-spaces.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
/*eslint eol-last: ["error", "always"]*/
function doSmth() {
var foo = 2;
}
Examples of correct code for this rule:
/*eslint eol-last: ["error", "always"]*/
function doSmth() {
var foo = 2;
}\n
Options
This rule has a string option:
"always"
(default) enforces that files end with a newline (LF)"never"
enforces that files do not end with a newline"unix"
(deprecated) is identical to "always""windows"
(deprecated) is identical to "always", but will use a CRLF character when autofixing
Deprecated: The options "unix"
and "windows"
are deprecated. If you need to enforce a specific linebreak style, use this rule in conjunction with linebreak-style
.
Version
This rule was introduced in ESLint 0.7.1.
