json formatting

CCWeedcontrol — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 22:52:11 GMT

Json file does not stay formatted. I 've been working on WAB Dev. When i open a json file in Atom and make edits, save and close, then say i make changes in WAB developer and go back to Json file in Atom it's not formatted, which i formatted it correctly prior to making changes in WAB Dev. I have to go back to jsonLint web site to get it formatted correctly. Why does this happen, what do i need to make sure the json file doesn't get unformatted?

CC,

It looks like in the 2.7 the main config.json is minified when the app is saved. Which is actually a good thing based on the amount of json that is stored in there. If you are using Atom then I would suggest that you get the Atom Beautify plugin so that you can just right click and choose "Beautify editor contents" or use Ctrl +_ Alt + B.
