Directives
Directives let you control the behavior of the Beautifier from within your source files. Directives are placed in comments
inside the file. Directives are in the format / beautify {name}:{value} / in CSS and JavaScript. In HTML they are formatted
as .
Ignore directive
The ignore directive makes the beautifier completely ignore part of a file, treating it as literal text that is not parsed. The
input below will remain unchanged after beautification:
// Use ignore when the content is not parsable in the current language, JavaScript in this case.
var a = 1;
/* beautify ignore:start */
{This is some strange{template language{using open-braces?
/* beautify ignore:end */
However, this doesn't appear to work. Am I expecting too much, or doing it incorrectly?
Provide the settings you use:
All default
Action performed
In a .html file:
<script language="javascript">
<!-- beautify ignore:start -->
// let php insert the user's name in a JS const
const userid = '<?=str_replace('XANTERRA\\ ','',$_SERVER['AUTH_USER ']);?>';
// let php insert the referer key provided in the URL query line, or the http referer if not in the query
var referer = '<?=array_key_exists('referer ',$_GET) ? $_GET['referer '] : (array_key_exists('HTTP_REFERER ',$_SERVER) ? parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER '],PHP_URL_HOST) : '');?>';
<!-- beautify ignore:end -->
Then run beautify
Expected results
No formatting change
Actual results
<!-- beautify ignore:start -->
// let php insert the user's name in a JS const
const userid = '<?=str_replace('XANTERRA\\ '
,'',$_SERVER['AUTH_USER
']);?>';
// let php insert the referer key provided in the URL query line, or the http referer if not in the query
var referer = '<?=array_key_exists('referer
',$_GET) ? $_GET['referer
'] : (array_key_exists('HTTP_REFERER
',$_SERVER) ? parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER
'],PHP_URL_HOST) : '
');?>';
<!-- beautify ignore:end -->`
I wondered if the directives in js-beautify would be parsed by VSCodeBeautify, https://github.com/beautify-web/js-beautify specifically:
