Imperative Apex expects passed objects to include spaces

[mvogelgesang]

When calling Apex imperatively within an LWC, an object is used to pass params. However, if a space between the key and value is missing, Apex will report a null pointer exception. For example:

import { LightningElement, api } from "lwc";
import getInfo from "@salesforce/apex/AdoptionVolunteerEvent.getInfo";

export default class MyClass extends LightningElement {
@api recordId;

eventList = [];
  connectedCallback() {
-    getRelatedRecords({recordId:this.recordId})
+    getRelatedRecords({recordId: this.recordId})
      .then((response) => {
        eventList = response.data;
      }).catch((error) => {
        console.error(error);
     });
}

This can be overcome by setting format on save in the IDE but if that is not enabled, there is not a clear indication to the developer that there is an issue.

Thanks for reporting. Are you reporting that Apex has this issue, or that the ESLint plugin should accommodate the issue and tell you to remove a space in this case?
