Commands

Command palette:

  • JSFMT: Format the current file
  • JSFMT: Toggle autoformat
  • JSFMT: Settings - Default
  • JSFMT: Settings - User

Menu:
Preferences -> Package Settings -> Sublime JSFMT

Keyboard shortcut
If you want to trigger the formatting on a keyboard shortcut you will need to:

  • Go to Preferences -> Key Bindings - User
  • Insert the configuration to call the format_javascript command
{ "keys": ["ctrl+q"], "command": "format_javascript" },

Formatting rules

You can set global rules via a .jsfmtrc. Be crazy and establish one for all your projects in ~/.jsfmtrc. (like in dotfiles)

Otherwise you're probably pretty levelheaded and will probably provide one in your project root. It'll be read and applied.

Rules you can intuit from these esformatter preset files.

There's a .jsfmtrc-sample in this repo. It's a good start. Rename it and toss it somewhere. Try it out.

Installing plugins

If you want to use a plugin that is not installed by default you will need to follow the next steps:

  1. Go to the packages folder (Preferences -> Browse Packages)
  2. cd into the jsfmt folder.
  3. Install the plugins you need.
  4. Go to your jsfmt settings file and add the name of the plugin in the plugins array.

Compatibility

Should work in both ST2 and ST3.
