Any support syntax styling (indent, tab, etc..) from .editorconfig ?

Well, bat is not really an 'editor',

but It'll be really nice if bat supports syntax styling with .editorconfig.

I don't quite understand. Which of the .editorconfig settings would/should really have an impact on the output format of bat?

If it's only about tabs, I'm not sure re-rendering tab-characters as n spaces would really be a good idea. I would somehow like to keep the output of bat exactly the same as the file contents (except for highlighting).

Oh, I see. Didn't realize it was trying to keep same file contents.

I was just wondering if bat could reformat or reindent minimized js files.

Cause, minimized js files are pretty annoying to read.
One has to open that file and re-indent or re-format file to make readable of.

Or someone like to make indent 4 -> 2 to make the code more compact.
(In my case, using bat on split tmux pane is a little bit uncomfortable. bat result is pretty huge.)

I'm afraid that this is out of scope for bat. This would better be left to an external tool which could still be used via reformat-js test.min.js | bat -l javascript.

... because they were never meant to be read by a human? 😄

This would be a re-write of the file and not something that would be configurable via .editorconfig.

I'm going to close this ticket, but feel free to comment here or open a new ticket with a specific request.
