### Next Version: [Unibeautify](https://github.com/Unibeautify/unibeautify)
Atom-Beautify is going to be completely rewritten with [Unibeautify](https://github.com/Unibeautify/unibeautify) at its core!
See [`unibeautify` branch](../../tree/unibeautify) for work in progress and [Issue #1174](https://github.com/Glavin001/atom-beautify/issues/1174).

### Poll: Improving installation of third-party beautifiers
Many users are experiencing issues when installing third party beautifiers (e.g. Uncrustify, PHP-CS-Fixer, and many more).
A possible solution is a "cloud" service which provides remote access to these beautifiers. Atom-Beautify would then communicate with these services, allowing for zero-installation beautification.
Please let us know what you think!

## Beautifiers
Some of the supported beautifiers are developed for Node.js and are automatically installed when Atom-Beautify is installed. However, other beautifiers are command-line interface (CLI) applications and require you to manually install them.
{{beautifiers-info beautifiers}}
## Language Support
See [all supported options in the documentation at `docs/options.md`](docs/options.md).
{{language-beautifiers-support languageOptions}}
## Usage
### Command Palette
Open the [Command Palette](https://github.com/atom/command-palette), type `Beautify`, and run `Beautify Editor`.
#### Beautify a Specific Language
You can use the [Command Palette](https://github.com/atom/command-palette) to beautify the editor for a specific language.
The commands are in the form `Atom Beautify: Beautify Language {NAME}` (i.e. `atom-beautify:beautify-language-{NAME}` for keyboard shortcuts).
For example, you may want to beautify `JavaScript` code within a `HTML` file.
### Selection of Code
It will only beautify selected text if a selection is found -- if not, the whole file will be beautified.
| Selection of Code | Beautify Selection of Code | Beautify Entire File |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Select code in Atom editor | Only that selection is beautified | Without a selection all code is beautified |
|  |  |  |
### Beautify On Save
`Beautify On Save` can be enabled for each language individually.
For example, for language `HTML` go into Atom-Beautify's package settings (`Atom` ➔ `Preferences` ➔ Search for `atom-beautify`), find `HTML`, and toggle the `Beautify On Save` option.
### Keyboard Shortcut
You can also type Ctrl-Alt-B as a shortcut or click `Packages > Beautify` in the menu.
#### Custom Keyboard Shortcuts
See [Keymaps In-Depth](https://atom.io/docs/latest/behind-atom-keymaps-in-depth) for more details.
For example:
```coffeescript
'.editor':
'ctrl-alt-b': 'atom-beautify:beautify-editor'
```
## Configuration
Edit your `.jsbeautifyrc` file in any of the following locations:
- Atom Package Settings
`Atom` ➔ `Preferences` ➔ Search for `atom-beautify`
- Same directory as current file
- Project root
`atom-beautify` will recursively look up from the current file's directory to find `.jsbeautifyrc`.
- Your user's home directory
**Note**: *Comments are supported in `.jsbeautifyrc` thanks to [strip-json-comments](https://github.com/sindresorhus/strip-json-comments).*
See examples of both ways inside [`examples/`](examples)
See [all supported options in the documentation at `docs/options.md`](docs/options.md).
