# at-if-closing-brace-space-after Require a single space or disallow whitespace after the closing brace of `@if` statements. ```scss @if ($a == 0) { } ↑ /** ↑ * The space after this brace */ ``` The `--fix` option on the [command line](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/blob/master/docs/user-guide/cli.md#autofixing-errors) can automatically fix all of the problems reported by this rule. This rule might have conflicts with stylelint's core [`block-closing-brace-space-after`](https://stylelint.io/user-guide/rules/block-closing-brace-space-after) rule if the latter is set up in your `.stylelintrc` config file. ## Options `string`: `"always-intermediate"|"never-intermediate"` ### `"always-intermediate"` There *must always* be a single space after the closing brace of `@if` that is not the last statement in a conditional statement chain (i.e. does have `@else` right after it). The following patterns are considered warnings: ```scss @if ($x == 1) { // ... }@else {} @if ($x == 1) { // ... } @else { } // `@if` has a space and a newline after the closing brace @if ($x == 1) { // ... } @else { } @if ($x == 1) { // ... } @else { } // Two spaces ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```scss @if ($x == 1) { // ... } @else {} a { @if ($x == 1) {} width: 10px; } @if ($x == 1) { }@include x; @if ($x == 1) { // ... } @include x; ``` ### `"never-intermediate"` There *must never* be a whitespace after the closing brace of `@if` that is not the last statement in a conditional statement chain (i.e. does have `@else` right after it). The following patterns are considered warnings: ```scss @if ($x == 1) { // ... } @else {} @if ($x == 1) { // ... } @else { } ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```scss @if ($x == 1) { // ... }@else {} a { @if ($x == 1) {} width: 10px; } @if ($x == 1) { }@include x; @if ($x == 1) { // ... } @include x; ```
