Today is busy day for me and so I’ll write a short (but useful) post. It’s about prettifying your code. Prettifying is basically formatting your code and making it neat and tidy. It can be a task if you do it manually but you don’t have to. Modern text-editors allow you to do this automatically.
If you use a text-editor, there’s a chance that it allows you to install third-party extensions.
I personally use Sublime Text. To install any extension (or package) in Sublime, you need to hit CMD+SHIFT+P and enter “install” in the search bar.
It’ll give you some options, out of which you need to choose “Package Control: Install Package”.
After you choose that, just type in “pretty” and you’ll get some suggestions. You can use any of those, depending on what language you use to code.
I use a couple of packages but my default (and favorite) one is HTML-CSS-JS Prettify. This package, once installed, will allow you to prettify your code by selecting it and hitting the CMD+SHIFT+H shortcut on the keyboard.
Other text-editors also offer this feature (e.g. Atom). Note: This is actually common knowledge but I really wanted to get a post out today 🙂
