Rule: Avoid trailing whitespaces

Reference: See "trailing" in http://www.jshint.com/docs/

Title

Avoid trailing whitespaces

Severity

Major

Description

Trailing whitespaces are simply useless and should not stay in code. In JavaScript, they can even be source of nasty bugs with multi-line strings.

If you encounter violations from this rule, this probably means that you are not using an automated code formatter - which you should if you have the opportunity to do so.

// The following string will error if there is a whitespace after '\'
var str = "Hello \
World";

Message

Remove the useless trailing whitespaces at the end of this line.

Activated?

Yes

Cardinality

Single
