Allow generator-star-spacing to have optional spaces

ESLint Version: 2.13.1

Rule to change: generator-star-spacing: I would like to add functionality where you can specify only before or after and the one you leave off will be optionally space or no space acceptable.

Code I would like to be acceptable:

function* foo() {}

let bar = function*() {};

What happens without change: One or the other will fail, as if you specify 'generator-star-spacing': ['error', {'before': false}], after defaults to false, rather than being an optional space.

Essentially, it should function the same as this rule in JSCS:

"disallowSpacesInGenerator": {
     "beforeStar": true
 },

Hi @vitorbal, I just tried to update to use the template, but my rule is the opposite of the template. I want to define what should pass, not be stricter on what should fail. Please let me know if my description is adequate.

Thanks for your interest in improving eslint. Unfortunately, it looks like this issue didn’t get enough support from the team and so I’m closing it. While we wish we’d be able to accommodate everyone’s requests, we do need to prioritize. We’ve found that issues failing to reach consensus after 21 days tend to never do it, and as such, we close those issues. This doesn’t mean the idea isn’t interesting, just that it’s not something the team can commit to.
