JS Beautifier

Build Status NPM version

This little beautifier will reformat and reindent bookmarklets, ugly JavaScript, unpack scripts packed by Dean Edward’s popular packer, as well as deobfuscate scripts processed by javascriptobfuscator.com.

Usage

You can beautify javascript using JS Beautifier in your web browser, or on the command-line using node.js or python.

Web Browser

Open jsbeautifier.org. Options are available via the UI.

Python

To beautify using python:

bash $ pip install jsbeautifier $ js-beautify file.js

Beautified output goes to stdout.

To use jsbeautifier as a library is simple:

python import jsbeautifier res = jsbeautifier.beautify('your javascript string') res = jsbeautifier.beautify_file('some_file.js')

...or, to specify some options:

python opts = jsbeautifier.default_options() opts.indent_size = 2 res = jsbeautifier.beautify('some javascript', opts)

JavaScript

As an alternative to the Python script, you may install the NPM package js-beautify. When installed globally, it provides an executable js-beautify script. As with the Python script, the beautified result is sent to stdout unless otherwise configured.

bash $ npm -g install js-beautify $ js-beautify foo.js

You can also use js-beautify as a node library (install locally, the npm default):

bash $ npm install js-beautify

```js var beautify = require('js-beautify').js_beautify, fs = require('fs');

fs.readFile('foo.js', 'utf8', function (err, data) { if (err) { throw err; } console.log(beautify(data, { indent_size: 2 })); }); ```

Options

These are the command-line flags for both Python and JS scripts:

```text CLI Options: -f, --file Input file(s) (Pass '-' for stdin) -r, --replace Write output in-place, replacing input -o, --outfile Write output to file (default stdout) --config Path to config file --type [js|css|html] ["js"] -q, --quiet Suppress logging to stdout -h, --help Show this help -v, --version Show the version

Beautifier Options: -s, --indent-size Indentation size [4] -c, --indent-char Indentation character [" "] -l, --indent-level Initial indentation level [0] -t, --indent-with-tabs Indent with tabs, overrides -s and -c -p, --preserve-newlines Preserve line-breaks (--no-preserve-newlines disables) -m, --max-preserve-newlines Number of line-breaks to be preserved in one chunk [10] -P, --space-in-paren Add padding spaces within paren, ie. f( a, b ) -j, --jslint-happy Enable jslint-stricter mode -a, --space_after_anon_function Add a space before an anonymous function's parens, ie. function () -b, --brace-style [collapse|expand|end-expand] ["collapse"] -B, --break-chained-methods Break chained method calls across subsequent lines -k, --keep-array-indentation Preserve array indentation -x, --unescape-strings Decode printable characters encoded in xNN notation -w, --wrap-line-length Wrap lines at next opportunity after N characters [0] -X, --e4x Pass E4X xml literals through untouched -n, --end_with_newline End output with newline --good-stuff Warm the cockles of Crockford's heart ```

These largely correspond to the underscored option keys for both library interfaces, which have these defaults:

json { "indent_size": 4, "indent_char": " ", "indent_level": 0, "indent_with_tabs": false, "preserve_newlines": true, "max_preserve_newlines": 10, "jslint_happy": false, "space_after_anon_function": false, "brace_style": "collapse", "keep_array_indentation": false, "keep_function_indentation": false, "space_before_conditional": true, "break_chained_methods": false, "eval_code": false, "unescape_strings": false, "wrap_line_length": 0 }

In addition to CLI arguments, you may pass config to the JS executable via:

Configuration sources provided earlier in this stack will override later ones.

You might notice that the CLI options and defaults hash aren't 100% correlated. Historically, the Python and JS APIs have not been 100% identical. For example, space_before_conditional is currently JS-only, and not addressable from the CLI script. There are a few other additional cases keeping us from 100% API-compatibility. Patches welcome!

CSS & HTML

In addition to the js-beautify executable, css-beautify and html-beautify are also provided as an easy interface into those scripts. Alternatively, js-beautify --css or js-beautify --html will accomplish the same thing, respectively.

```js // Programmatic access var beautify_js = require('js-beautify'); // also available under "js" export var beautify_css = require('js-beautify').css; var beautify_html = require('js-beautify').html;

// All methods accept two arguments, the string to be beautified, and an options object. ```

The CSS & HTML beautifiers are much simpler in scope, and possess far fewer options.

```text CSS Beautifier Options: -s, --indent-size Indentation size [4] -c, --indent-char Indentation character [" "]

HTML Beautifier Options: -I, --indent-inner-html Indent and sections. Default is false. -s, --indent-size Indentation size [4] -c, --indent-char Indentation character [" "] -b, --brace-style [collapse|expand|end-expand] ["collapse"] -S, --indent-scripts [keep|separate|normal] ["normal"] -w, --wrap-line-length Maximum characters per line (0 disables) [250] -p, --preserve-newlines Preserve existing line-breaks (--no-preserve-newlines disables) -m, --max-preserve-newlines Maximum number of line-breaks to be preserved in one chunk [10] -U, --unformatted List of tags (defaults to inline) that should not be reformatted -n, --end_with_newline End output with newline ```
