Important: don’t forget to call require('mini.trailspace').setup() to enable its functionality.
Note: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like error: unable to create file <some file name>: Filename too long). Try doing one of the following:
- Enable corresponding git global config value: 
git config --system core.longpaths true. Then try to reinstall. - Install plugin in other place with shorter path.
 
Default config
-- No need to copy this inside `setup()`. Will be used automatically.
{
  -- Highlight only in normal buffers (ones with empty 'buftype'). This is
  -- useful to not show trailing whitespace where it usually doesn't matter.
  only_in_normal_buffers = true,
