Array formatting inconsistencies

If I have an array with object literals in this format:

var v = [
  {
    id: 1,
  }, {
    id: 2,
  },
];

When formatted it looks like this:

var v = [{
  id: 1,
}, {
  id: 2,
}, ];

But if the first item is anything but an object literal, the formatted output will match the input:

var v = [
  0, {
    id: 1,
  }, {
    id: 2,
  },
];

The two differences between the two formats are:

• The open and close brackets of the array are on different lines than the array items.
• The array items are indented one level more than the array brackets.

Changing one item in the array shouldn’t change the formatting of the entire array. Which means one format should be chosen, right? So I would suggest the latter format should be chosen for these two reason:

• The code is easier to read and follow because of the extra indentation. (which people will probably argue against)
• Sublime Text can properly code fold it. With the former format sublime only collapses the first object instead of the entire array. (which people can’t argue against:-)

I wrote up a long response on why the indents are not redundant and how an option could be added to solve the inconsistencies. But in the processing of finding stuff to back up my arguments I realized with two little slashes all my dreams could come true:

var v = [ //
  {
    id: 1
  }, {
    id: 2
  }
];

Which then means there’s an easy work around and puts this on your todo last list. But I do hope it gets changed in a future release. Thanks.

@kdelmonte It looks like it may be resolved. On http://jsbeautifier.org/ I was able to get the example to work with these config changes:

• Changed indentation select to: Indent with 2 spaces (only because the example uses 2 spaces)
• Changed braces select to: Attempt to keep braces where they are
• Checked: Keep array indentation?
