Is it possible to indent JavaScript code in Notepad++?

I have some JavaScript code that is written in one line (no carriage returns), it's completely unreadable...

With Notepad++, I tried to replace these characters ({, }, ;) by themselves plus a carriage return, but it still isn't very handy...

Is there a way to do this correctly in Notepad++?

JSTool is the best for stability.

Steps:

  1. Select menu Plugins>Plugin Manager>Show Plugin Manager
  2. Check to JSTool checkbox > Install > Restart Notepad++
  3. Open js file > Plugins > JSTool > JSFormat

Use jsbeautifier instead of trying to do it manually.
