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
