== Why is this an issue? Modern browsers ignore unneeded, trailing commas, so there are no negatives to having them unless you're supporting an IE 8 application. Since they make adding new properties simpler, their use is preferred. This rule raises an issue when the last item in a multiline construct (array or object literal, import or export statement, function declaration or call) does not end with a trailing comma and does not lie on the same line as the closing curly brace, bracket or parenthesis. === Noncompliant code example [source,text] ---- var joe = { fname: "Joe", lname: "Smith" // Noncompliant }; ---- === Compliant solution [source,text] ---- var joe = { fname: "Joe", lname: "Smith", // OK }; var joe = { fname: "Joe", lname: "Smith"}; // OK ----
