Ignore JS

Whether or not to format regions of code that are identified to be JavaScript. Tags such as <script> and {% javascript %} can contain JavaScript and by default beautification is applied using the script rules. When ignored (ie: true) Æsthetic will not apply formatting to these regions.

When enabled (ie: true) the entire <script> region is excluded including indentation levels. If the <script> tag is being used to link an external file (eg: <script src="/path/fle.js"></script>) and no code is detected between the opening and closing tags then formatting will be applied in accordance with defined rules pertaining to markup.

This rule only applies to HTML <script> tags. Use the Liquid ignoreTagList rule to exclude beautification on Liquid tokens such as the {% javascript %} tag.

true

Below is an example of how some input might look and the rule is enabled, ie: true. The only changes that will be applied in after formatting example will be applied to the <title> tags.

<!-- Before formatting -->
<head><title>Example</title>

<script>
  // This entire region will remain the same between formatting
  // the <script> tag will not move nor will this content.
  const foo = 'bar';
</script>


</head>

<!-- Before formatting -->
<head>
  <title>Example</title>

  <script>
      // This entire region will remain the same between formatting
      // the <script> tag will not move nor will this content.
      const foo = 'bar';
  </script>


</head>

🧐

true

After formatting the above sample notice how the <script></script> region has been completely skipped from formatting. Ignored regions are excluded in a strict manner, so indentation levels are completely void of change and will persist. Only the surrounding tokens will have beautification applied.

<!-- Before formatting -->
<head><title>Example</title>

<script>
const foo = 'bar';
</script>
