feature: Custom formating

[GMartigny]

Description

I like the format command, but I would like more control on what it does. For example, my package.json has a unpkg and jsdelivr field that I would like to stay close together, or I would like to have the main field at the top.
Another way of putting this is; maybe some wants to only reorder nested field like dependencies without reordering the whole package.json.

Suggested Solution

Managing all the possibilities through CLI options would be too much. Maybe some kind of configuration file (.syncpackrc ?) could solve this. Something like what fixpack is doing is good.
Alternatively, I wonder if a template file could be a good idea.

Help Needed

Is this something you would consider adding or is this out of scope for this CLI ?

Thanks for your time.

Sorry for the wait @GMartigny, I thought I'd replied to this but I hadn't.

It's likely some kind of config file or property in package.json will come soon and luckily the values used for sorting are already extracted internally in /src/constants.ts:

syncpack/src/constants.ts

Lines 6 to 8 in 9d48f88

	export const SORT_AZ = ['contributors', 'dependencies', 'devDependencies', 'keywords', 'peerDependencies', 'scripts'];
	export const SORT_FIRST = ['name', 'description', 'version', 'author'];

so they could be made available to the config file for overriding.

This will come, thanks.
