Efficient way to format curly braces to be inline

What is the quickest way to move curly braces to be on the same line?

from this:

const value = { 
    input: 123 
}

to this:

const value = { input: 123 }

The way I do it is by using Visual with a combination of hjkl.

Bonus: How can I achieve the edits but the other way around?

For a more automated way of transforming code in both directions, consider my "splitjoin" plugin: https://github.com/andrewradev/splitjoin.vim

Being a single mapping, it would, technically, be the quickest way :)

Put cursor at first line (const...) and then press J repeatedly until all the code is on one line.

If you haven't bound Caps lock to anything else, you can press it before to avoid holding Shift

  1. Place cursor at or before the first {.
  2. Press v, then shift+%.
  3. Press shift+j.

Note: the behavior may break if unpaired { or } exists in comment/string/etc.
