JSToolNpp

So, you’ve heard of JSToolNpp, right? This handy tool was previously called JSMinNpp, and it’s super easy to use! It helps you highlight and manage JavaScript syntax, specifically designed for Notepad++. You can access it easily from the dedicated menu in Notepad++ since it works as a plugin.

Why Use JSToolNpp?

This tool is great because it minimizes your JavaScript code and makes your scripts simpler. Plus, it has a cool feature where you can check out your data in a JSON viewer. If you’re dealing with large files (over 10 MB), no worries! JSToolNpp can handle that!

Easy Installation

Installing JSToolNpp is a breeze! Just copy the dynamic link library into the right folder in your Notepad++ install directory. Once that's done, you can find its functions under the Plugin menu in the program's interface.

Customizing Your Code

You’ll love how JSToolNpp lets you choose line endings: pick either Windows style (CRLF \r\n) or Unix style (LF \n). You can even keep all comments at the top of your code and adjust text formatting however you like.

Indentation Options

It also lets you change how indentation works by swapping out tabs for spaces if that’s your thing. You might want to keep indenting on empty lines, but honestly, that option isn’t usually recommended. And guess what? You can set it up to automatically add a new line before any curly bracket!

Convenient Shortcuts

The integration with Notepad++ brings in new shortcuts that refresh your text format according to what you've set up and open up the JSON viewer for you.

A Handy Viewer

The JSON viewer shows up as a column on the left side of the main window and includes a simple search feature—super useful!

Powerful Algorithms

JSToolNpp is built on some powerful algorithms, making it perfect for any programmer or developer working with JavaScript. It not only formats your scripts nicely but also helps simplify them too.
