atom-sorter's Issues

Ignore Newline At EOF

Unable to sort if has default options

In javascript lots of times we have default values for arguments, something like this:

function({ foo, bar, qux=8, baz=9 })

Some people put spaces between the ='s sign.

If I highlight within the curlies and try to sort it fails. :(

Can only sort JSON and YAML

With the recent update for YAML, everything that isn't JSON is sorted as YAML which yields a garbage file.

The culprit is this try/catch

Seems like the solution is to detect if a file is actually YAML, this could easily be done by checking the current grammar of the file.

Note: Kind of a dupe of #4, however the title of that issue is more of feature description rather than symptom description.

YAML Sorting Priority

No idea how to solve the current issues with YAML sorting being far too greedy. Probably gonna need another keyboard shortcut or something similar. 😢

Sorting inline stuff (html attributes, javascript object keys, css)

• JSON
• HTML attributes
• CSS
• JavaScript Objects

---

This is just such an awesome plugin. Thank you for it. I use it regularly to sort keys in javascript objects:

{z:true, b:false} => {b:false, z:true}

But I was hoping to use it on html attributes as well, but it splits on the = so it doesnt work. Is it possible to make it not split on =?

Like:

zid="body" key="body"

Should sort to:

key="body" zid="body"

Also some time in my js objects I have a space between the colon so like this:

{z: true, b: false}

And this fails to sort, is it possible to ignore the first space after a colon?

Example of inline css:

position: absolute; top: 1; bottom: 3;

A regex split that would work for this is /\:\w*/ or for equals sign: /\=\w*/
