# dollar-variable-colon-newline-after Require a newline after the colon in `$`-variable declarations. ```scss $box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px #5b9dd9, 0 0 2px 1px rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.8); /* ↑ */ /** ↑ * The newline after this colon */ ``` ## Options `string`: `"always"|"always-multi-line"` ### `"always"` There *must always* be a newline after the colon. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```scss $var:100px; ``` ```scss a { $var:100px; } ``` ```scss $var: 100px; ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```scss $var: 100px; ``` ```scss a { $var: 100px; } ``` ### `"always-multi-line"` There *must always* be a newline after the colon *if the variable value is multi-line*. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```scss $box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px #5b9dd9, 0 0 2px 1px rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.8); ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```scss $box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px #5b9dd9, 0 0 2px 1px rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.8); ``` ```scss $box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px #5b9dd9, 0 0 2px 1px rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.8); // The VALUE is single-line, so a newline after the colon is ignored by this rule. ``` ```scss $var: 100px; ```
