For formatting, searching, and rewriting JavaScript. Analogous to [`gofmt`](http://golang.org/cmd/gofmt/).
Installation
---
`npm install -g jsfmt`
Usage
---
```
$ jsfmt --help
Usage:
jsfmt [--no-format] [--save-ast] [--diff|--list|--write] [--validate] [--rewrite PATTERN|--search PATTERN] [--json|--ast] [...]
jsfmt (--version | --help)
Options:
-h --help Show this help text
--version Show jsfmt version
-d --diff Show diff against original file
-l --list List the files which differ from jsfmt output
-v --validate Validate the input file(s)
--no-format Do not format the input file(s)
-w --write Overwrite the original file with jsfmt output
-j --json Tell jsfmt that the file being parsed is json
-a --ast Tell jsfmt that the file being parsed is in JSON AST
--save-ast Output the resulting js in JSON AST format
-r=PATTERN --rewrite PATTERN Rewrite rule (e.g., 'a.slice(b, len(a) -> a.slice(b)')
-s=PATTERN --search PATTERN Search rule (e.g., 'a.slice')
```
If no path is given it will read from `stdin`. A directory path will recurse over all *.js files in the directory.
Note that the AST options (`--ast` and `--save-ast`) are experimental and may be removed.
Formatting
---
For formatting `jsfmt` uses [esformatter](https://github.com/millermedeiros/esformatter).
### .jsfmtrc
Any of the [esformatter](https://github.com/millermedeiros/esformatter) formatting
options can be overwritten via a `.jsfmtrc` file. The file is parsed using
[rc](https://github.com/dominictarr/rc), which accepts either a `json` or `ini` formatted file.
A `.jsfmtrc` will be read if it exists in any of the following directories:
* a local .jsfmtrc or the first found looking in ./ ../ ../../ ../../../ etc.
* $HOME/.jsfmtrc
* $HOME/.jsfmt/config
* $HOME/.config/jsfmt
* $HOME/.config/jsfmt/config
* /etc/jsfmtrc
* /etc/jsfmt/config
`jsfmt` will also attempt to pickup and use the configured `indent`
variable from your `.jshintrc` configuration file, if present.
Rewriting
---
The `--rewrite` flag allows rewriting portions of the JavaScript's AST before formatting. This is especially handy for intelligent renaming and handling API changes from a library. The rewrite rule must be a string of the form:
pattern -> replacement
Both `pattern` and `replacement` must be valid JavaScript. In `pattern`, single-character lowercase identifiers serve as wildcards matching arbitrary expressions; those expressions will be substituted for the same identifiers in the `replacement`.
### Example
Rewrite occurences of `_.reduce` to use native reduce:
jsfmt --rewrite "_.reduce(a, b, c) -> a.reduce(b, c)" reduce.js
Searching
---
The `--search` flag allows searching through a JavaScript's AST. The search rule is very similar to the rewrite rule but just outputs expressions that match the given search expression. The search expression must be valid JavaScript.
### Example
Find occurences of `_.reduce`:
jsfmt --search "_.reduce(a, b, c)" reduce.js
Validating
---
The `--validate` flag will print any errors found by esprima while parsing the JavaScript.
### Example
jsfmt --validate bad.js
API
---
### Formatting
```javascript
jsfmt.format(, ) // Returns formatted JavaScript
```
```javascript
jsfmt.formatJSON(, ) // Returns formatted JSON
```
```javascript
var config = jsfmt.getConfig(); // Loads the jsfmt config from the appropriate rc file or default config object
```
#### Example
```javascript
var jsfmt = require('jsfmt');
var fs = require('fs');
var js = fs.readFileSync('unformatted.js');
var config = jsfmt.getConfig();
js = jsfmt.format(js, config);
```
### Rewriting
```javascript
jsfmt.rewrite(, ) // Returns rewritten JavaScript
```
#### Example
```javascript
var jsfmt = require('jsfmt');
var fs = require('fs');
var js = fs.readFileSync('each.js');
js = jsfmt.rewrite(js, "_.each(a, b) -> a.forEach(b)");
```
### Searching
```javascript
jsfmt.search(, ) // Returns array of matches
```
#### Example
```javascript
var jsfmt = require('jsfmt');
var fs = require('fs');
var js = fs.readFileSync('component.js');
jsfmt.search(js, "R.Component.create(a, { dependencies: z })").forEach(function(matches, wildcards) {
console.log(wildcards.z);
});
```
### Validating
```javascript
jsfmt.validate() // Returns errors found while parsing JavaScript
```
```javascript
jsfmt.validateJSON() // Returns errors found while parsing JSON
```
#### Example
```javascript
var jsfmt = require('jsfmt');
var fs = require('fs');
var js = fs.readFileSync('each.js');
var errors = jsfmt.validate(js);
for (var i = 0; i < errors.length; i++) {
console.error(errors[i]);
}
```
Plugins
-------
Since `jsfmt` uses `esformatter` under the covers for formatting your code you can utilize any `esformatter` plugins with `jsfmt`. Please see https://github.com/millermedeiros/esformatter/#plugins for more information.
### JSX
There exists a plugin [esformatter-jsx](https://github.com/royriojas/esformatter-jsx) which provides support for formatting JSX with `esformatter`. Please see https://github.com/royriojas/esformatter-jsx/wiki/Usage-with-jsfmt for more information on setting up with `jsfmt`.
