JavaScript – The easiest way to clean-up your JavaScript code

// July 28th, 2010 // No Comments » // JavaScript

You can use any desktop tool to clean-up and beautify that poorly formated JavaScript you got from a blog or web resource.

I my case I am working on a JavaScript based event calendar that displays a calendar and highlights the current date with the dates which have events associated with them.

I got this great event calendar thats totally based on JavaScript from this link and it was not formatted correctly.  As I had to make a few adjustments to the code as for my needs, I needed it to be correctly formatted so I could work on it.

So here is how I cleaned that minimized code. Its probably the best and fastest way of doing it.  I opened up this website http://jsbeautifier.org/ and pasted my javascript code that needed to be cleaned up for editing and just a click on Beautify  and Voila, my code is clean and beautiful.
