You obviously want all the to be easy to configure. For repair, you want a way to regenerate text that meets your constraints. For linting, you want a way to write tests against combinations of those things. Then what you need is access to the structure of the language at each point in the code, and precise position information of each language element (starting/ending line/column). There are many packages which are being developed for ECMAscript, you can check them So what you want is the ability to specify how whitespace occurs between every kind of language construct, in every kind of context? (e.g., how if-then-else is laid out inside a do loop vs. SpacesAroundOperators: present, omittedĮsmangle ECMAScript code mangler / minifierĮsmangle is using esprima as parser and using escodegen as code generator.SpaceAfterAnonymousFunctions: present, omitted.SpaceAfterControlStatements: present, omitted.There are some other formatters using esprima you can look into :Ĭodepainter JavaScript beautifier using ECMAscriptįrom its Supported style properties, it has some features you can use : It is a formatter not a lint, so you may have to lint code before using it. Check this link Lint/FormatterĮsformatter is powerful because it uses esprima to parse and format Javascript. I know it is possible to use eclipse debugger for node. So finding a formatter just as powerful in IDE for node is hard. Follows coding standards, helps find possible flaws.Īll the above are kept in mind when making IDE.Broadly classifying the features you (may) want : You want features of modern IDE such as Visual Studio plus Resharper, on command-line which you can embed into Grunt. So let me break it down and answer it in parts. There is no simple answer to the question you are asking.

It is still pre-alpha but has progressed faster than esformatter. You can use the grunt-plugin grunt-eslint to specify linting rules and automate it. It is built on the idea of pluggable linting rules, which is what you asked.
