How to add php to beautify?

[Zolak94]

• Operating System (+Version): Windows 10
• VS Code Version: 1.33.1
• beautify Version: 1.5.0

I added this code to my settings.json

"beautify.language": {
        "js": {
          "type": ["javascript", "json"],
          "filename": [".jshintrc", ".jsbeautifyrc"]
          // "ext": ["js", "json"]
          // ^^ to set extensions to be beautified using the javascript beautifier
        },
        "php": {
            "type": ["php"],
            "filename": [".php"]
            // "ext": ["js", "json"]
            // ^^ to set extensions to be beautified using the javascript beautifier
          },
        "css": ["css", "scss"],
        "html": ["htm", "html", "blade.php", "php"]
        // ^^ providing just an array sets the VS Code file type
      }

Beautify doesn't support PHP.

If you want beautify PHP files, you have to use different addon, example:

Additionally, read this Stackoverflow post , maybe it can help you because it's about blade files:

Apart from your question, read about PSR-2:
