Enforce spacing around the * in yield* expressions (yield-star-spacing)

The --fix option on the command line can automatically fix some of the problems reported by this rule.

Rule Details

This rule enforces spacing around the * in yield* expressions.

Options

The rule takes one option, an object, which has two keys before and after having boolean values true or false.

  • before enforces spacing between the yield and the *. If true, a space is required, otherwise spaces are disallowed.

  • after enforces spacing between the * and the argument. If it is true, a space is required, otherwise spaces are disallowed.

The default is {"before": false, "after": true}.

"yield-star-spacing": ["error", {"before": true, "after": false}]

The option also has a string shorthand:

  • {"before": false, "after": true}"after"
  • {"before": true, "after": false}"before"
  • {"before": true, "after": true}"both"
  • {"before": false, "after": false}"neither"
"yield-star-spacing": ["error", "after"]

Examples

function *generator() {
  yield *other();
}

both

/*eslint yield-star-spacing: ["error", "both"]*/
/*eslint-env es6*/

function * generator() {
  yield * other();
}

neither

When Not To Use It

If your project will not be using generators or you are not concerned with spacing consistency, you do not need this rule.
