Question

I am able to Un minify CSS using Visual studio shortcut (Ctrl + K + D). Same trick not working for JS files.

How can I un minify JS using Visual Studio like (Ctrl + K + D) short cut. I know there are lot of tools on web but i am searching for Visual Studio.

Answer 1

Tool to Unminify / Decompress JavaScript

You cannot truly unminify javascript, as minified javascript replaces variable names with letters, as well as removing code comments - these cannot be "undone" as the original information no longer exists.

It appears that you can at least recreate appropriate spacing, but "real" minified javascript cannot be undone.

Answer 2

You can use Prettier https://prettier.io/docs/en/install.html, to get the script slightly human readable.

If you are having problem with vs code you can add this in your settings.json

"[javascript]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode" },

It works for me for mega file...
