Sane reindenting for the Atom text editor

reindent

Quickly re-indent your code!

_{^{(You will also need the python-indent package to achieve this exact behavior with Python files.)}}

Change the length of that variable name with impunity! Update your soft indentation length! Fix your co-workers mess! Fix your mess!

Usage

Highlight the lines of code you want to re-indent, and activate the re-indent command either through the command palette (ctrl-shift-p) or by using the keybinding ctrl-shift-r.

How?

This package:

• expands your selection to include full lines,
• splits the selected text along the file's newline (or \n if the file's newline character is unknown),
• deletes that text,
• re-inserts the text one line at a time with all preceding and trailing whitespace removed, running the command editor:newline after each line is inserted to automatically set the indentation level for the next line.

This package relies on Atom's built-in auto-indentation which is usually derived from a language package. If the language package doesn't do a good job of indenting your code, then this package will not either. In particular, languages with white-space based syntax (e.g. Python and Make) might have trouble.

The editor will take the first line of your selection as the base indentation level. Consider the code below:

for x in y:
 print(x)

If you highlight only the second line (print(x)) and reindent, then nothing will happen. You have to include the line for x in y: in your selection.

How to publish

I am by no means a master of the apm tool, so this I'm putting down the process for publishing.

0. Make changes, merge into master etc.
1. git checkout master
2. git pull
3. Edit the CHANGELOG, putting a line in for the new version.
4. git add CHANGELOG.md; git commit -m "updating changelog"; git push
5. If you're feeling paranoid, wait for CI to finish running on that push to master.
6. apm publish [major | minor | patch | build] Note that this will automatically update package.json with the new version number!

atom-reindent's Issues

Selection at end of file with no newline present has weird behavior

In a javascript file, having

if (test) {
    doSomething();
}

at the end of a file with no newline after that } and running the reindent command creates

if (test) {
    doSomething();
    <cursor here>
}

If there is a newline then it behaves as expected.
