Vim Javascript Indentation Inside A Function

Question

I've been using MacVim for my main editor for a while now. I mainly use it for javascript, express.js to be specific, and one thing that is bothering me is the indentation of it.

I want the indentation to do this:

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.send("Hello, world!");  
});

But right now it's doing this:

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
        res.send("Hello, world!");
            });

I don't know why it's doing this. And for extra information, this is my .vimrc:

execute pathogen#infect()
set tabstop=4
set smartindent
set autoindent

I also have this installed via Pathogen. Please help me. Thank you.

What is the filetype or file extension. Are you sure the editor knows it is a Javascript file? — jfriend00

Thank you @dNitro! The problem is now fixed after I added filetype plugin indent to my vimrc. — jamien

Add filetype plugin indent on to your vimrc.
