r/node on Reddit: notepad++ node linter/formatter
December 30, 2022 -
I'm working on a small node project so I am just using notepad++ since it is light weight.
It has JSTool's formatter but it adds extra indents sometimes.
request.on('end', function () {
let url_params = new URLSearchParams(body)
if (url_params.get('add')) {
break;
}
})why ident the if block after 'let'?
Doing some research, I've tried "linter" but I have not been able to figure out how to configure it properly. For example, it wants to point to 'eslint.cmd' which I cant find. I found one called "jN" but it totally messed up all of my code. I found another plugin called "JSLint" but it is not listed for notepad++ and I have not had any success trying to manually install it. Most questions/answers that I read about this are 5-10yrs old so maybe they are just outdated.

How to format JS code in Notepad++ - Programmer Sought
Notepad++ itself does not have a shortcut command to format JavaScript code. You need to install an extension plug-in to achieve the function of quickly formatting JS code.
