Class NoWhitespaceBeforeCheck

Implemented Interfaces:
Configurable, Contextualizable

public class NoWhitespaceBeforeCheck
extends Check

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

By default the check will check the following operators: SEMI, POST_DEC, POST_INC. DOT is also an acceptable token in a configuration of this check.

An example of how to configure the check is:

 <module name="NoWhitespaceBefore"/>
 

An example of how to configure the check to allow linebreaks before a DOT token is:

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