Option to indent attributes about xml-js HOT 5 CLOSED

@nashwaan hello

• when i set indentAttributes: true

i got

<?xml 
  version="1.0" 
  encoding="utf-8"
?>
<...>

i don't want to indent the first row

Any help would be greatly appreciated

from xml-js.

I have added noQuotesForNativeAttributes support but as a hidden option (no public documentation) in v1.5.1 because this library doesn't support converting <a bar=1/> back to javascript object.

from xml-js.

This is a good request. I will plan to implement it, but expect some delays (1-2 weeks) as I am travelling at the moment.

from xml-js.

I have published v1.5.0 that supports new option indentAttributes flag.
So, if the input is:

var js = {
    parent: {
        _attributes: {
            bar: 1,
            baz: 'hello'
        },
        child: {
            _attributes: {
                attr1: 'a',
                attr2: 'b'
            }
        }
    }
};

and using convert.js2xml(js, {indentAttributes: true, spaces: 2, compact: true}), the output will be:

<parent
  bar="1"
  baz="hello"
>
  <child
    attr1="a"
    attr2="b"
  />
</parent>

I hope attributes indentation works correctly for you.

Note, however, that bar="1" (not bar=1 as in your sample output). This is an existing behavior in this library where attribute values should be surrounded by double quotes. This behavior is not related to your new feature request. But if you still think that bar=1 is a better match for the input bar: 1, then I might consider for adding another new option, say noQuotesForNativeAttributes, to produce same output as in your example.

Thanks! Well, noQuotesForNativeAttributes would be nice, but this was the main thing I was looking for :)
