I wanted to remove semicolons from all my old files. And after looking through too many complicated es-beautifiers, I decided to write a dirty and stupid program.
This is a very stupid program designed for how I write code. Read how it works before using:
- Read each line in a file (not each parsed javascript code line, but each "physical" line)
- If the line has only one semicolon then remove the semicolon
- If the line has more than one semicolon then leave all the semicolons (covers for(;;) usage) except a semicolon as the final character in a line
- Overwrite original file unless -o is provided
That's it.
npm i dirty-semicolons
$ dirty-semicolons --help
Usage: index [options] <file...>
Quick and dirty semicolon remover for javascript. WARNING: does not use a real parser. See https://github.com/davidfig/dirty-semicolons
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-o, --output Output file (default is to overwrite original file)
-h, --help output usage information
/**
* remove semicolons from a file
* @param {string} filename
* @param {string} [output] filename (uses filename if not provided)
* @param {function} [callback] callback when complete
*/
module.exports = function(file, output, callback)
