Proper indent (Brackets extension)

Hack on multiple diverse projects at the same time? Each using different indent? This extension will save you a lot of time switching your Brackets indent settings. It detect and set the indentation according to the indentation used in the current file or will fallback for default configuration.

Features

• Supports multiple file types: JavaScript uses special parser, the rest uses generic parser (kudos to @cessen).
• Works well with new preferences system (starting Sprint 36)
• Recognizes minified files

Tech bits

This extension implements a simple parser capable of recognizing JavaScript syntax to the extent needed to capture indentation. The extension is quite performant: it takes around 70-90 milliseconds to complete the entire operation, of which the parser itself takes 1-5 milliseconds and the rest is the preferences and UI update.

Nathan Vegdahl (github: @cessen) added a generic sniffing mechanism for the files which are not JavaScript.

TODO

• (?) Support complicated cases and files which do not respect JavaScript syntax
• (?) Support SmartTabs. Could require support for smart tabs from Brackets and/or CodeMirror2.
