JavaScript Formatter Basics

What is Code Formatting

Code formatting is the process of rearranging code according to consistent style rules, including indentation, spaces, line breaks, quotation styles, etc. JavaScript formatting tools can automatically handle these details, making code more readable and maintainable.

Why Code Formatting Matters

A unified code style can improve team collaboration efficiency, reduce code review time, and lower the cost of understanding and maintaining code. Formatted code also makes it easier to spot syntax errors and logical issues, improving code quality.

Difference Between Formatting, Compression & Obfuscation

  • Formatting: Makes code more readable, preserves all functionality
  • Compression: Removes whitespace and comments, reduces file size
  • Obfuscation: Renames variables and functions, increases code complexity to protect intellectual property

Common JavaScript Code Styles

  • Standard JS: Semicolon-less style, uses double quotes
  • Airbnb JS Style: Uses semicolons, 2-space indentation
  • Google JS Style: Uses semicolons, 2-space indentation
  • Prettier Default Style: 2-space indentation, double quotes

Prettier Formatting Principle

Prettier uses a two-stage process: first parsing code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), then completely regenerating code regardless of original formatting. This ensures code style consistency but means some manual formatting details may be lost.

Code Formatting Best Practices

  • Unify code style in team projects
  • Use editor plugins for automatic formatting
  • Format code before Git commits
  • Use compressed code for production environments
