Grunt plugin for running js-beautify
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-js-beautify --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-js-beautify');
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named js_beautify
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
grunt.initConfig({
js_beautify: {
options: {
// js-beautify options go here
},
files: {
'your_file_group_name: ['**/*.js', 'somedir/app.js']
},
},
});
The options are all the standard options offered by js-beautify.
In this example, custom options are used to specify the js-beautify arguments. Anything not specify will revert to the defaults.
grunt.initConfig({
js_beautify: {
options: {
end_with_newline: true,
max_preserve_newlines: 1
},
files: {
'dest/default_options': ['src/testing', 'src/123'],
},
},
});
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
