A Comparison of JavaScript Linting Tools

On your particular setup it will indent the same. When your code is shared with other people, that’s where problems can occur. What works well for you at a tab stop of 2 can be a big problem where someone else has a tab stop they can’t change of 8.

Here’s a sample with tabstop 2:

function foo() {
  hello();

  if(foo) {
    bar();
  }
}

Here’s a sample with tabstop 4:

function foo() {
    hello();

    if(foo) {
        bar();
    }
}

Here’s a sample with tabstop 8

function foo() {
        hello();

        if(foo) {
                bar();
        }
}

I don’t see the problem.

I have no wish to misrepresent you, so please clarify which case that is that you mean.

The second case was extra spaces around an argument name.
