* Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =html= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.

SCSS linting requires SCSS-Lint version >= 0.43.0. You can get it from GitHub:

#+BEGIN_SRC command-line
  gem install specific_install
  gem specific_install https://github.com/brigade/scss-lint.git
  gem specific_install https://github.com/Sweetchuck/scss_lint_reporter_checkstyle.git
#+END_SRC

** web-beautify
See [[file:../../+tools/web-beautify/README.org][web-beautify layer]] documentation.

** prettier
See [[file:../../+tools/prettier/README.org][prettier layer]] documentation.

** Choosing a formatter
To choose a formatter, set the layer variable =web-fmt-tool=:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  (html :variables web-fmt-tool 'web-beautify)
#+END_SRC

Formatter can be chosen on a per project basis using directory local variables
(files named =.dir-locals.el= at the root of a project), an example to use the
=prettier= formatter:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  ;;; Directory Local Variables
  ;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables")

  ((html-mode (web-fmt-tool . prettier)))
#+END_SRC

*Note:* you can easily add a directory local variable with ~SPC f v d~.

* Live display in browser
Use ~SPC m I~ to enable impatient mode, opening a live view of a HTML file in
your browser. You may wish to enable impatient mode in referenced CSS or JS
files, too.

When the underlying file is an HTML file, ~SPC m I~ automatically opens the page
in the browser. For other buffers, a list of available views can be found on
[[http://localhost:8080/imp]].
