 * `plugin/trailing_comma` - This will put trailing commas into multiline array literals, hash literals, and method calls that can support trailing commas.
 * `plugin/disable_auto_ternary` - This will prevent the automatic conversion of `if ... else` to ternary expressions.
+* `plugin/compact_empty_hash` - This will prevent the splitting of empty hashes `{}` over multiple lines.
 
 If you're using Syntax Tree as a library, you can require those files directly or manually pass those options to the formatter initializer through the `SyntaxTree::Formatter::Options` class.
