### Coming Soon

- [ ] CoffeeScript, see https://github.com/donaldpipowitch/atom-beautify/issues/31


## Usage

Open the [Command Palette](https://github.com/atom/command-palette), and type `Beautify`.

It will only beautify selected text, if a selection is found - if not, the whole file will be beautified.

### Shortcut

You can also type `ctrl-alt-b` as a shortcut or click `Packages > Beautify` in the menu.

### Package Options

You can also choose to beautify on every file save.


## 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 way inside [`examples/`](https://github.com/donaldpipowitch/atom-beautify/tree/master/examples)

and that you set the `Php beautifier path` in the package settings.

#### Retrieve the path on Mac & Linux

Run `which php_beautifier` in your Terminal.

### Python

To use with Python we require [autopep8](https://github.com/hhatto/autopep8)
