# function-whitespace-after Require or disallow whitespace after functions. ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1) scale(3); } /** ↑ * This space */ ``` This rule does not check for space immediately after `)` if the very next character is `,`, `)`, `/` or `}`, allowing some of the patterns exemplified below. The [`fix` option](../../../docs/user-guide/usage/options.md#fix) can automatically fix all of the problems reported by this rule. ## Options `string`: `"always"|"never"` ### `"always"` There _must always_ be whitespace after the function. The following patterns are considered violations: ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1)scale(3); } ``` The following patterns are _not_ considered violations: ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1) scale(3); } ``` ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1) scale(3); } ``` ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1) scale(3); } ``` ```css /* notice the two closing parentheses without a space between */ a { top: calc(1 * (1 + 3)); } ``` ```css /* notice the ), with no space after the closing parenthesis */ a { padding: calc(1 * 2px), calc(2 * 5px); } ``` ### `"never"` There _must never_ be whitespace after the function. The following patterns are considered violations: ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1) scale(3); } ``` The following patterns are _not_ considered violations: ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1)scale(3); } ```
