Atom Package: https://atom.io/packages/atom-beautify

apm install atom-beautify

Or Settings/Preferences ➔ Packages ➔ Search for atom-beautify

See all supported options in the documentation at docs/options.md.

Open the Command Palette, type Beautify, and run Beautify Editor.

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 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.

You can also type Ctrl-Alt-B as a shortcut or click Packages > Beautify in the menu.

See Keymaps In-Depth for more details.

For example:

'.editor':
  'ctrl-alt-b': 'atom-beautify:beautify-editor'

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.

See examples of both ways inside examples/
