# puppet-lint manifest whitespace check

Adds a new puppet-lint check to verify a number of whitespace issues (newlines etc.)

These checks are very opinionated.

**--fix support: Yes**

## Installation

To use this plugin, add the following line to the Gemfile in your Puppet code
base and run `bundle install`.

```ruby
gem 'puppet-lint-manifest_whitespace-check'
```

## Usage

This plugin provides a number of new checks to `puppet-lint`.

### manifest_whitespace_class_opening_curly_brace

> There should be a single space before the opening curly brace of a class body.

Good examples:

```puppet
class myclass (
  # the parameters
) {
  # the body
}

class myclass {
  # the body
}
```

Bad examples:

```puppet
class myclass (
  # the parameters
)
{
  # the body
}

class myclass (
  # the parameters
){
  # the body
}

class myclass
{
  # the body
}
```

### manifest_whitespace_missing_newline_end_of_file

> There should be a single newline at the end of a manifest.

Not zero, not two or more. Be advised: this single newline is implicit at the end of your last line of code. This check does not add a single empty line!

### manifest_whitespace_double_newline_end_of_file

> There should be a single newline at the end of a manifest.

Not zero, not two or more. Be advised: this single newline is implicit at the end of your last line of code. This check does not add a single empty line!

### manifest_whitespace_arrows_single_space_after

> There should be a single space after an arrow.

When you list resource parameters or build a hash, you usually use arrow operators (`=>`). There are checks that make sure your arrows are aligned, but this check will ensure the number of spaces after your arrows is consistently 1.

### manifest_whitespace_newline_beginning_of_file

> There should not be a newline at the beginning of a manifest.

There should not be empty lines at the beginning of your file.

### manifest_whitespace_class_name_single_space_before

> There should be a single space between the class or defined resource statement and the name.

Good examples:

```puppet
class myclass (
  # the parameters
) {
  # the body
}

class myclass {
  # the body
}
```

Bad example:

```puppet
class  myclass (
  # the parameters
) {
  # the body
}
```

### manifest_whitespace_class_name_single_space_after

> There should be a single space between the class or resource name and the first brace.

Good examples:

```puppet
class myclass (
  # the parameters
) {
  # the body
}

class myclass {
  # the body
}
```

Bad example:

```puppet
class myclass(
  # the parameters
){
  # the body
}

class myclass  (
  # the parameters
){
  # the body
}

class myclass
(
  # the parameters
){
  # the body
}
```
