Talking with qmx and lholmquist about this it seems that JS land doesn't have good tools for this. 


hrm - the grunt worked for me; but I don't know if it is _that_ good

grunt will run jshint, which doesn't do the formatting for you,  but tells you what you need to fix.  but until up to a point.  

I think there is a difference between formatting and whitespace



The formatter that is available with grunt seems to have very little settings [1], but if that is fine for most of us by all means we should use it!


perhaps here we could help/improve ? 

+1 to this option

 

 

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:


I doubt that a JS weenie will use Eclipse/IDEA

Correct,  none of us "Rock Stars" would use an IDE :)


It's meant as an example you don't need the full eclipse IDE to use the formatting tool. It can be used standalone and it has a ton of options about where to put whitespace. We could also build our own javascript code formatter, but why not have something that works today. And I think even a javascript coder can execute a command line utility.

if there is a java dependency then it is a no go for JS land


Just trying to be pragmatic
