Code formatting in .mongodb

[delcon]

Is there any way to configure / use a formatter / linter for .mongodb files?
This is my no1 feature that I miss in all mongodb GUI and would save me the countless times I try to run a query - just to get notified that something is not formatted right.

As a workaround, you could use the Beautify extension.

I know it's not the best solution but it gets the job done.

Can you create a feature request in our feedback forum?

You can also add this to your settings.json file.

	"files.associations": {
		"*.mongodb": "javascript"
	}

@charlesonunze this actually breaks playgrounds as they will be identified as JS files and the extension won't add the playground-related features anymore.

Shit, I actually did not think that was the issue when intellisense wasn't working. I guess it needs it's own formatted after all :(

Prettier could be integrated too, although not in a straight way:

1. adding to vscode config

  "prettier.documentSelectors": [
    "**/*.mongodb"
  ],

2. adding to .prettierrc or creating one

{
  "overrides": [
    {
      "files": "*.mongodb",
      "options": {
        "parser": "babel"
      }
    }
  ]
}

This actually works! Thanks! @Flamefork

I am closing this issue, but we have a formatting enhancement request on the MongoDB forum that you can track: https://feedback.mongodb.com/forums/929236-mongodb-for-vs-code/suggestions/42380848-formatting-support-for-mongodb-playground-files

And feel free to reach out if you have any further questions!

this overrides section is not working when added to the global ~/.prettierrc

It's worth noting that the extension marketplace now shows that the Beautify extension is unmaintained and deprecated.

Thought I'd put it here instead since I can include a screenshot.
