Question

How can I set up the designed in visual studio to put a space after my javascript functions?

At present when I press the return key I get this

var myfunc = function() { .... };

When I want this

var myfunc = function () { .... };

Know its a setting somewhere but cant find it - will help with my JSlinting!

Answer 1

You can't do it with VS. I am using VS 2010 and it permit you to write formatting rules going on Tools -> Options and then select Text Editor in the list on the left.

You can define rules like the one you want for languages like C# but not for javascript.

Answer 2

In VS 2010 you can't.

The options you have are found at "Options-> Text Editor -> JScript -> Formatting", but that is not one of the options available.

Here's the options you have:

• Automatic Formatting
  • Format completed line on Enter
  • Format completed statement on ;
  • Format completed block on }
  • Format on paste
• New lines
  • Place open brace on new line for functions
  • Place open brace on new line for control blocks
• Spacing - section that would have what you're after
  • Insert space after comma delimiter
  • Insert space after semicolon in 'for' statement
  • Insert space before and after binary operators
  • Insert space after keywords in control flow statements
