 js-ts-mode

Hi,
thanks for the explanation and the patch.  The result from the patch is
a GNU-style indentation, where only the braces for functions are not
indented, while braces for other blocks (if/else, loops, arrow
functions) are indented.

What I would like to have is Allman style indentation, where the braces
for blocks like if/else indent the same as for functions.  This also
seems the default behavior in the old js-mode.  In this case I think it
would be correct to not indent the brace for the arrow function.  For
reference, I found an issue in eslint regarding this indentation:

https://github.com/eslint/eslint/issues/8493

Would it be possible to also support the later?

Fabian
