Hi,
I saw that there was some discussion about whitespace in a javascript file on a PR
yesterday. Now it seems to me that among the things to discuss whitespace is just noise,
especially because formatting can be done automatically.
I think part of this was the fact that somethings didn't need to be revisioned.( some
IDE's like to do stuff ).
I think it is important as part of the commit process that we need to be making sure
that we are only committing changes that we made.
Talking with qmx and lholmquist about this it seems that JS land
doesn't have good tools for this.
To have something in the mean time we could use something like the eclipse formatter,
because it can format JS has a ton of options and there are already a lot of external
tools that use it:
https://github.com/krasa/EclipseCodeFormatter
https://code.google.com/p/maven-java-formatter-plugin
http://liviutudor.com/2012/03/02/batch-source-formatting-in-eclipse-indigo/
So how about having something like this that will format our JS for us? We could
integrate something like this in our build, or that or create our own CLI tool as long as
we have something that will work so that we don't have to discuss formatting anymore,
what do you think?
Cheers,
Erik Jan
