VS JS编辑器中“函数”和括号之间的空间

Question

Why does Visual Studio JavaScript editor put a space between the "function" keyword and its following parenthesis ?

function foo () { }

Is that some kind of cool convention ?

Answer 1

It is a stylistic convention in Visual Studio. In the past you could not change it, but you might find now you can: "Options -> Text Editor -> JScript -> Formatting"

Most refer the lack of space to Douglas Crockford's javascript style guide
