Usage

Format or verify specific TypeScript files

$ cat sample.ts
class Sample {hello(word="world"){return "Hello, "+word;}}
new Sample().hello("TypeScript");

# basic. read file, output to stdout.
$ tsfmt sample.ts
class Sample { hello(word= "world") { return "Hello, " + word; } }
new Sample().hello("TypeScript");

# from stdin. read from stdin, output to stdout.
$ cat sample.ts | tsfmt --stdin
class Sample { hello(word= "world") { return "Hello, " + word; } }
new Sample().hello("TypeScript");

# replace. read file, and replace file.
$ tsfmt -r sample.ts
replaced sample.ts
$ cat sample.ts
class Sample { hello(word= "world") { return "Hello, " + word; } }
new Sample().hello("TypeScript");

# verify. checking file format.
$ tsfmt --verify sample.ts
sample.ts is not formatted
$ echo $?

Reformat all files in a TypeScript project

If no files are specified on the command line but a TypeScript project file (tsconfig.json) exists, the list of files will be read from the project file.

# reads list of files to format from tsconfig.json
tsfmt -r

Note

now indentSize parameter is ignored. it is TypeScript compiler matters.

Read Settings From Files

1st. Read settings from tsfmt.json.

{
  "indentSize": 4,
  "tabSize": 4,
  "newLineCharacter": "\r\n",
  "convertTabsToSpaces": true,
  "insertSpaceAfterCommaDelimiter": true,
  "insertSpaceAfterSemicolonInForStatements": true,
  "insertSpaceBeforeAndAfterBinaryOperators": true,
  "insertSpaceAfterKeywordsInControlFlowStatements": true,
  "insertSpaceAfterFunctionKeywordForAnonymousFunctions": false,
  "insertSpaceAfterOpeningAndBeforeClosingNonemptyParenthesis": false,
  "insertSpaceAfterOpeningAndBeforeClosingNonemptyBrackets": false,
  "placeOpenBraceOnNewLineForFunctions": false,
  "placeOpenBraceOnNewLineForControlBlocks": false
}

2nd. Read settings from .editorconfig (editorconfig)

# EditorConfig is awesome: http://EditorConfig.org

# top-most EditorConfig file
root = true

# Unix-style newlines with a newline ending every file
[*]
indent_style = tab
tab_width = 2
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true

3rd. Read settings from tslint.json (tslint)

{
  "rules": {
    "indent": [true, 4]
    "whitespace": [true,
      "check-branch",
      "check-operator",
      "check-separator"
    ]
  }
}

Read Settings Rules

$ tree -a
.
├── foo
│   ├── bar
│   │   ├── .editorconfig
│   │   └── buzz.ts
│   ├── fuga
│   │   ├── piyo.ts
│   │   └── tsfmt.json
│   └── tsfmt.json
└── tslint.json

3 directories, 6 files

1. exec $ tsfmt -r foo/bar/buzz.ts foo/fuga/piyo.ts
2. for foo/bar/buzz.ts, read foo/tsfmt.json and foo/bar/.editorcondig and ./tslint.json
3. for foo/fuga/piyo.ts, read foo/fuga/tsfmt.json and ./tslint.json
