Intellij Formatting variable declarations

Question

Does intellij have an option to align javascript variable declarations like so

var x     = "x",
    yyyy  = "y";  

Note that the = are aligned neatly. I can't find an option to do that....worse, if I do it by hand, and then format the file, I lose the alignment on the =.

Answer 1

IDEA11 can definitely align javascript properties - see the Other tab on the Javascript code style.

In the Java code style options there is Wrapping and Braces - Field groups - Align in columns.

However, for js variables you might have to resort to a plugin.

Try DefinitionEqualizer.

Answer 2

Editor > Code Style > Javascript > 'Other' tab

Formatting options:

• Align object properties: On colon
• Align 'var' statements and assignments: Align multiline 'var' statements
