Extend UseConsistentWhitespace to pipe and curly braces

[avalery]

Usually, powershell scripts follow those coding rules:

• Spaces around pipe

Get-ChildItem -Path $path | Where-Object { ... }
# And not
Get-ChildItem -Path $path|Where-Object { ... }

• Spaces inside curly braces

Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "test" }
# And not
Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "test"}

The rule UseConsistentWhitespace is close to checking that. It already checks if there is a space between a keyword and a brace (CheckOpenBrace option), and if operators are surrounded by spaces (CheckOperator option).

Is it possible to add options to check those additional rules?

Yes, this sounds like a reasonable request to add this option (and potentially enable it by default)

FYI: I started to work on this.
I am working on this branch here which can already detect violations of whitespaces inside curly braces and around pipes. I need to tweak it with the correct error messages and auto-correct suggestions. At the moment, the idea is to add 2 new options: CheckInnerBrace and CheckPipe. cc @JamesWTruher

Great ! It looks good like this.
