numericTrailingZeros

Reports trailing zeros in numeric values.

✅ This rule is included in the yaml stylistic presets.

Trailing zeros in decimal numbers are unnecessary and can be removed without changing the numeric value. Removing trailing zeros makes numeric values more concise and easier to read.

Examples

❌ Incorrect

price: 10.00

rate: 0.100

value: 1.50

✅ Correct

price: 10

rate: 0.1

value: 1.5

Options

This rule is not configurable.

When Not To Use It

If your project requires trailing zeros for formatting purposes (e.g., currency display or alignment), you may not need this rule. Some systems may require numeric values to have a specific number of decimal places for compatibility.
