eslint/no-regex-spaces Restriction

🚧 An auto-fix is still under development.

What it does

Disallow 2+ consecutive spaces in regular expressions.

Why is this bad?

In a regular expression, it is hard to tell how many spaces are intended to be matched. It is better to use only one space and then specify how many spaces are expected using a quantifier.

javascript
var re = /foo {3}bar/;

Example

javascript
var re = /foo   bar/;
