public class LeftCurlyCheck
extends AbstractCheck

Checks for the placement of left curly braces ('{') for code blocks.

• Property option - Specify the policy on placement of a left curly brace ('{'). Type is com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.blocks.LeftCurlyOption. Default value is eol.
• Property ignoreEnums - Allow to ignore enums when left curly brace policy is EOL. Type is boolean. Default value is true.
• Property tokens - tokens to check Type is int[]. Default value is: ANNOTATION_DEF, CLASS_DEF, CTOR_DEF, ENUM_CONSTANT_DEF, ENUM_DEF, INTERFACE_DEF, LAMBDA, LITERAL_CASE, LITERAL_CATCH, LITERAL_DEFAULT, LITERAL_DO, LITERAL_ELSE, LITERAL_FINALLY, LITERAL_FOR, LITERAL_IF, LITERAL_SWITCH, LITERAL_SYNCHRONIZED, LITERAL_TRY, LITERAL_WHILE, METHOD_DEF, OBJBLOCK, STATIC_INIT.

To configure the check:

 <module name="LeftCurly"/>
 

To configure the check to apply the nl policy to type blocks:

 <module name="LeftCurly">
   <property name="option" value="nl"/>
   <property name="tokens" value="CLASS_DEF,INTERFACE_DEF"/>
 </module>
