Format JavaScript using esformatter in Brackets

Brackets esformatter

Brackets Extension for formatting JavaScript files using esformatter version 0.8.1.

This is a shameless port of the excelent brackets-beautify that formats files using js-beautify. I've used it for some time, but never really liked the fact that lines break on every single bracket, even for very short objects, or ES6 import statements. esformatter on the other hand seems to have that covered!

Installation

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the extension uploaded into the Brackets Extension Registry, so currently it has to be installed manually.

1. Clone the repository
2. cd node
3. npm install to install esformatter and its dependencies
4. zip the whole thing and install using Brackets built-in Extension Manager.

For *nix systems, there's a build.sh that should do steps 1 through 3.

Configuration

The extension uses the tab character and tab size defined in the editor. Other than that, you can put an .esformatter file in the root of your project and the extension will use it. Or else, the extension will use the default configuration file, that can be found under node/node_modules/esformatter/lib/preset/default.json from where the extension is installed.

brackets-esformatter's Issues

Support formatting JSON

Apparently esformatterdoesn't format JSON

Maybe some dirty hack like adding 'var x = ' and removing it after formatting would do the trick for now?

Format on save doesn't save the file

Apparently __beautifySaving from the original extension is not being leveraged in this one.

Config file completely overrides defaults

When a .esformatter config file is provided, defaults are completely overridden.
Should extend the defaults object (or maybe deep extend?)

Problem formatting json

if we configure esformatter to add a new line at the EOF, formatting json stops working because the last round bracket is not removed

Add support for esformatter plugins
