QUESTION: Line up . characters in Javascript about atom-beautify HOT 6 CLOSED

JavaScript beautifying is being handled by https://github.com/beautify-web/js-beautify
You could check with them and / or make an issue there. If they allow this and there is some configuration to enable it, post back here and I will make it work on atom-beautify :).

Thanks for your support!

This is something that python has in their PEP-8 afaik, but I have a hard time accepting it there too. This just f*cks up indenting so badly that one could end up with even worse than spaghetti code.

I would strongly disadvise using it.

I personally would not use it either: I prefer the former beautification result.
@mcdonnelldean if js-beautify supports customizing that indentation as you demonstrated, I can surely add support for that configuration option to atom-beautify, however I suspect they currently do not and likely will not because it's not as desirable.
That being said, Pull Requests are always welcome.

Hmmm,

It seems that the preview lied to me, i was trying to have all the .'s line up. This is more coming from being a .net developer. I think what I will do is give the new way a shot and if it keeps niggling I'll look into attempting a PR on the js-beautify repo.

Thanks for all the help guys!

Best of luck @mcdonnelldean and do not hesitate to let us know of any other issues you have.

Cheers!

Thanks again for a great plugin!
