Is it possible to prettify scala templates using play framework 2?

Question

Using Play Framework 2 I\'ve noticed the rendered Scala HTML templates don\'t like indented @if or @for.

So, for example, something like that:<

Answer 1

Of course there is always some option :), trim the body and set header again so (cause after operations on the String it will be returned as text/plain):

// instead of
return ok(index.render("some"));

// use
return ok(index.render("some").body().trim()).as("text/html; charset=utf-8");

for 'beauty' loops or if's you need to write more compact code

// instead of
@for(test <- tests) {
  
@test.name
}

// use
@for(test <- tests) {
@test.name
}

And finally you can use some compressor (ie. com.googlecode.htmlcompressor) to... minify whole page (in this sample for production mode only)

String output = index.render("some").body().trim();
if (Play.isProd()) output = compressor.compress(output);
return ok(output).as("text/html; charset=utf-8");
