Uglify JS beautify using tabs

Question

I know I can set the indent level of javascript that has been beautified with uglifyjs, but is it possible to get it to use tabs instead of spaces?

If not, Is there a similar tool that can? Or any patched version?

Answer 1

In the Uglify JS's process.js file just modify the indent function so instead of space (" ") it inserts tabs ("\t").

Answer 2

Use JS beautifier. Just set it to use tabs for indent.

Try Escodegen. https://github.com/Constellation/escodegen/wiki/API

      indent: {
          style: '    ',
          base: 0,
          adjustMultilineComment: false
      },
