Beautifier creates spaces after "?" when using optional chaining

[peterdconradie]

Description

I have an optional chain when assigning values to a variable from fetched json data (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Optional_chaining). Beautifying adds a space before and after the question mark.

Input Before Beautification

This is what the code looked like before:

const dogName = adventurer.dog?.name;

Expected Output

The beautified code should have looked like this:

const dogName = adventurer.dog?.name;

Actual Output

The beautified code actually looked like this:

const dogName = adventurer.dog?.name ? .name

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add code to Atom editor
2. Run command Atom Beautify: Beautify Editor

This project doesn't seem to be well maintained any more. However, I found a way to manually fix this issue:
Internally js-beautify v1.8.1 (2018.8.28) is used, although v1.14.0 (2021.6.14) was already released (assuming your JavaScript formater setting is the default "JS Beautify")... so you could just manually update the formater package of atom-beautify.

1. Navigate to ~/.atom/packages/atom-beautify/node_modules/js-beautify.
   (or wherever atom stores your installed packages)
2. Create a a new folder "_old" and move all old files and folders in there, in case you want to undo these steps.
3. Insert the files and folders of v1.14.0.
   → download and unzip js-beautify_v1.14.zip

To fix this well, @Glavin001 whould need to update line 202 in package.json.
