how to make SonarQube check JS code indentation

Question

I use a SonarQube 5.6.6 with sonarJS 3.3.0.5702 pluged on.

I am looking how to make my Sonar check the code indentation, i don't find rules for that on JavaScript.

Is my sonarJS version in cause ?

Answer 1

Unfortunately there is no rule which allows you to verify code indentation (number of used tabs or spaces).

There are some rules which can help you a little bit to keep code more readable:

• Tabulation characters should not be used
• Statements should be on separate lines
• Conditionals should start on new lines
• Function call arguments should not start on new lines
• Control structures should use curly braces
• Multiline blocks should be enclosed in curly braces
• Conditionally executed code should be denoted by either indentation or curly braces
• An open curly brace should be located at the end of a line
• Comments should not be located at the end of lines of code
• Lines should not end with trailing whitespaces
• Lines should not be too long
• Files should contain an empty newline at the end

Answer 2

There is no rules in SonarJS checking code indentation.

You can use prettier for your project to ganantee right formatting
