}A single-line, minified CSS rule expanded in CSS mode. The formatter breaks after the opening brace, indents each declaration by two spaces, and adds a space after the colon in property: value.
Indentation rules and limits
A lightweight formatter that splits on braces and semicolons — handy for making minified code readable.
| Rule | Effect |
|---|---|
Braces { } | Increase/decrease indent level |
Semicolon ; | Line break at statement end |
| Strings | Braces or semicolons inside strings may be misread |
| Limit | Not a full parser like Prettier — no complete syntax awareness |
FAQ
- Is this a full formatter like Prettier?
- No. It's a lightweight formatter that indents based on braces and semicolons. It safely preserves strings, comments, and template literals, but doesn't enforce detailed style rules.
- Can it clean up minified code too?
- Yes. Code squashed onto a single line is also line-broken and indented based on braces and semicolons.
- Is the code I enter sent to a server?
- No. It's processed entirely in your browser.
- Can it make minified JS readable?
- Yes — indentation reveals the block structure. Deobfuscation like restoring variable names is not supported.
- Does Sass or Less work?
- It tidies shared brace/semicolon structure but does not understand their specific syntax like mixins.
