# Mojo::PrettyTidy

Mojo::PrettyTidy is a conservative formatter for Mojolicious Embedded Perl
templates, especially `.html.ep` files.

It focuses on making template source easier to read without trying to become a
general-purpose HTML formatter, JavaScript formatter, or browser-source cleanup
tool.

## Scope

This tool formats Mojolicious template source that is intended to be rendered by
a Mojolicious application.

It is not a general-purpose HTML formatter, browser-source formatter, or
post-rendered HTML cleanup tool. It is not intended for HTML downloaded from a
browser's "View Source", saved web pages, scraper output, or other
already-rendered documents.

You can try that if you really want to and good luck with that, but it is outside
the supported use case. So, I don't want to hear about your miserable experience
for having done so. That monkey is simply not a member of this circus.

## Install

From the project root:

```sh
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
```

## Basic use

Print formatted output to standard output:

```sh
mojo-prettytidy templates/example.html.ep
```

Check whether a file would change:

```sh
mojo-prettytidy --check templates/example.html.ep
```

Write changes back to the file:

```sh
mojo-prettytidy --write templates/example.html.ep
```

Read from standard input and write to standard output:

```sh
cat templates/example.html.ep | mojo-prettytidy --stdin
```

## Common options

```sh
mojo-prettytidy --diff templates/example.html.ep
mojo-prettytidy --write --backup templates/example.html.ep
mojo-prettytidy --cols 80 templates/example.html.ep
mojo-prettytidy --no-javascript templates/example.html.ep
mojo-prettytidy --no-perl templates/example.html.ep
mojo-prettytidy -V templates/example.html.ep
mojo-prettytidy -VV templates/example.html.ep
```

`--cols` is conservative. It currently packs long `style="..."` attributes; it
does not hard-wrap arbitrary prose, Perl expressions, JavaScript, or quoted
payloads.

## Configuration

`mojo-prettytidy` can load defaults from a JSON config file.

If `--config` is not given, it looks for the first available file in this order:

1. `$HOME/.mojo-prettytidy.json`
2. `./.mojo-prettytidy.json`

Command-line options override config values.

## Documentation

The full manual is maintained in:

```text
Manual.pod
```

After installation, use:

```sh
perldoc Mojo::PrettyTidy::Manual
```

The command-line help remains available through:

```sh
mojo-prettytidy --help
mojo-prettytidy --man
```

## Development

Run the test suite with:

```sh
prove -lv t
```

The formatter is intentionally conservative. New behavior should generally be
covered by focused tests before it becomes part of the default output policy.
