# function-comma-newline-before > **Warning** This rule is deprecated and will be removed in the future. See [the migration guide](../../../docs/migration-guide/to-15.md). Require a newline or disallow whitespace before the commas of functions. ```css a { transform: translate(1 , 1) } /** ↑ * This comma */ ``` The [`fix` option](../../../docs/user-guide/options.md#fix) can automatically fix all of the problems reported by this rule. ## Options `string`: `"always"|"always-multi-line"|"never-multi-line"` ### `"always"` There _must always_ be a newline before the commas. The following patterns are considered problems: ```css a { transform: translate(1,1) } ``` ```css a { transform: translate(1 ,1) } ``` ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1) } ``` The following patterns are _not_ considered problems: ```css a { transform: translate(1 ,1) } ``` ```css a { transform: translate(1 , 1) } ``` ### `"always-multi-line"` There _must always_ be a newline before the commas in multi-line functions. The following patterns are considered problems: ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1) } ``` The following patterns are _not_ considered problems: ```css a { transform: translate(1,1) } ``` ```css a { transform: translate(1 ,1) } ``` ```css a { transform: translate(1 ,1) } ``` ```css a { transform: translate(1 , 1) } ``` ### `"never-multi-line"` There _must never_ be whitespace before the commas in multi-line functions. The following patterns are considered problems: ```css a { transform: translate(1 , 1) } ``` The following patterns are _not_ considered problems: ```css a { transform: translate(1 ,1) } ``` ```css a { transform: translate(1 , 1) } ``` ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1) } ```
