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. 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
