auto-style as much as possible with jsbeautifier

to make it as easy as possible to adhere to this style for the devs

Alternatively there's also esformatter which is used in the rdio/jsfmt project.

maxogden/standard-format now exists. PR's are welcome.

Was able to get a compatible auto format with jsfmt.

@bcomnes do you have a .jsfmtrc file handy with everything defined?

[bcomnes]

I use it from within sublime, bit it could be adapted to a .jsfmtrc pretty quickly.

Its not perfect but provides an okay auto format that doesn't collide with standard.

First pass at a standard --format command is on the formatter branch: 11187a6

Please try it and give feedback / improve it.

[Flet]

I'll find some time to play with this tomorrow :)

[feross]

awesome!

[feross]

standard-format is shaping up quite nicely! They've adopted the esformatter-based strategy that I prototyped on the formatter branch.

Just npm install standard-format -g for a pretty helpful (not perfect yet!) formatter.

[bcomnes]

Cool!

@Flet Do you know how to turn this into a sublime plugin?

[Flet]

Yeah they have some excellent docs on how to do it here:
http://www.sublimelinter.com/en/latest/creating_a_linter.html

Its really geared for outputting errors from pure linters, but it certainly could be used to trigger a formatter too...

I'd love for there to eventually be a --format option built into standard with an exposed option in the standard Sublime plugin... maybe when standard-format is closer to awesome... IMO @feross should just add it as an experimental flag :)

[feross]

@Flet No time right now, but I'd accept a PR that added a --format option that just called into standard-format.
