I need help "prettifying"

JavaScript
1

Hello! I passed the challenge but looking at my code, It’s really hideous.
Do you guys have any tips or suggestions on what to do or how I should go about with this and my future codes?

Your code so far


function whatIsInAName(collection, source) {
let retArr = [];
let retArr2 = [];
for (let key in source){
  for (var x = 0; x < collection.length; x++){
  if (collection[x].hasOwnProperty(key) && collection[x][key] === source[key]) {
    if(retArr.includes(collection[x])){

    }
    else{
      retArr.push(collection[x]);
      console.log(retArr);
    }
  }
  }

  break;
}
let count = 0
for (let key in source){
  if (count === 1){
    console.log("retarr", retArr)
    console.log(key, count)
    for (var x = 0; x<retArr.length; x++){
    if (retArr[x].hasOwnProperty(key) && retArr[x][key] === source[key]) {
        retArr2.push(retArr[x]);
        console.log(retArr2);
      
    }
    }
    count++;
    break;
  }
  count++ ;
}
if (count === 1) {
  return retArr;
}
return retArr2;
}

whatIsInAName([{ "apple": 1 }, { "apple": 1 }, { "apple": 1, "bat": 2 }], { "apple": 1 });

For my real-world coding, I use VS Code with eslint and prettify extensions. It’s kind of a PITA to set up and get working, but once you do, you can format many types of files.

There are also online beautifiers, like https://beautifier.io/
