Some style guides don’t allow the use of tab characters at all, including within comments.
This rule looks for tabs anywhere inside a file: code, comments or anything else.
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
var a \t= 2; /** * \t\t it's a test function */ function test(){} var x = 1; // \t test
Examples of correct code for this rule:
var a = 2; /** * it's a test function */ function test(){} var x = 1; // test
This rule has an optional object option with the following properties:
allowIndentationTabs
(default: false): If this is set to true, then the rule will not report tabs used for indentation.Examples of correct code for this rule with the allowIndentationTabs: true
option:
/* eslint no-tabs: ["error", { allowIndentationTabs: true }] */ function test() { \tdoSomething(); } \t// comment with leading indentation tab
If you have established a standard where having tabs is fine, then you can disable this rule.
This rule was introduced in ESLint 3.2.0.
