How can I format JS code in Vim?

VIM plugin Jsbeautify could handle jQuery correctly. It's the vim plugin version of the online Jsbeautify.

There is a far simpler solution that requires no vim plugins.

Install js-beautify to your system python:

pip install jsbeautifier

Then add this to your .vimrc:

autocmd FileType javascript setlocal equalprg=js-beautify\ --stdin

That's it.

Run :help equalprg to see why this works.
