Plugins

JavaScript is a very flexible language, which means people write it in many different ways, since adding support for every single kind of style would be impossible, we decided to introduce plugins; that should give enough flexibility to tailor the formatting to match the craziest needs.

List of plugins curated by the community:

• esformatter-quotes
  • enforces coding style that string literals are delimited with single or double quotes.
• rocambole-commafirst
  • rewrites program following the comma-first style.
• esformatter-braces
  • enforces braces around statements.
• esformatter-semicolons
  • adds missing and removes unnecessary semicolons.
• esformatter-dot-notation
  • transform obj['property'] into obj.property for valid string literals.
• esformatter-literal-notation
  • transform array and object constructors to literal notations. (example: new Object() => {})

Wish List

List of plugins that we would like to see developed/maintained:

• normalize comments at the end/beginning of lines/blocks.
• keep objects and arrays into a single line if short enough.
• hard wrap lines if over a certain length.
• enforce braces in conditionals/loops/scopes
• custom indent levels for chained expression
• sort variables and properties

We are also flagging any issues that could/should be implemented as a plugin with the tag plugins-wishlist
