# block-closing-brace-space-after

Require a single space or disallow whitespace after the closing brace of blocks.

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```css
a { color: pink; }
/**              ↑
 * The space after this brace */
```

This rule allows a trailing semicolon after the closing brace of a block. For example,

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```css
:root {
  --toolbar-theme: {
    background-color: hsl(120, 70%, 95%);
  };
/* ↑
 * This semicolon */
}
```
