Features

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/JSON formatting
all settings are customizable (whitespace, formatting style, etc..) by .jsbeautifyrc configuration file.

Requirements

js-beautify installed by typing: npm -g install js-beautify

Installation

Manual

Just drop web-beautify.el. somewhere in your load-path.

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/somewhere")

MELPA

If you're an Emacs 24 user or you have a recent version of package.el you can install web-beautify.el from the MELPA repository.

Usage

Basic setup

Add the following to your emacs init file.

(require 'web-beautify) ;; Not necessary if using ELPA package
(eval-after-load 'js2-mode
  '(define-key js2-mode-map (kbd "C-c b") 'web-beautify-js))
;; Or if you're using 'js-mode' (a.k.a 'javascript-mode')
(eval-after-load 'js
  '(define-key js-mode-map (kbd "C-c b") 'web-beautify-js))

(eval-after-load 'json-mode
  '(define-key json-mode-map (kbd "C-c b") 'web-beautify-js))

(eval-after-load 'sgml-mode
  '(define-key html-mode-map (kbd "C-c b") 'web-beautify-html))

(eval-after-load 'css-mode
  '(define-key css-mode-map (kbd "C-c b") 'web-beautify-css))

If you want to automatically format before saving a file, add the following hook to your emacs configuration:

(eval-after-load 'js2-mode
  '(add-hook 'js2-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'web-beautify-js-buffer t t))))

;; Or if you're using 'js-mode' (a.k.a 'javascript-mode')
(eval-after-load 'js
  '(add-hook 'js-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'web-beautify-js-buffer t t))))

(eval-after-load 'json-mode
  '(add-hook 'json-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'web-beautify-js-buffer t t))))

(eval-after-load 'sgml-mode
  '(add-hook 'html-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'web-beautify-html-buffer t t))))

(eval-after-load 'css-mode
  '(add-hook 'css-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'web-beautify-css-buffer t t))))

.jsbeautifyrc files

Web-beautify supports .jsbeautifyrc JSON files.

A hierarchy of .jsbeautifyrc files is supported, where rc files at the deeper levels override the settings from rc files at higher levels. For example, given the file structure listed below, formatting /home/you/myProject/app.js would inherit settings from: default -> /home/you/myProject/.jsbeautifyrc, while formatting /home/you/myProject/tests/test.js would inherit settings from: default -> /home/you/myProject/.jsbeautifyrc -> /home/you/myProject/tests/.jsbeautifyrc

/home/you/myProject/.jsbeautifyrc
/home/you/myProject/app.js
/home/you/myProject/tests/.jsbeautifyrc
/home/you/myProject/tests/test.js
