Beautify Format

The Industry Standard for Fault-Tolerant Formatting

VS Code Marketplace Version Installs License


🚀 Why Beautify Format?

Stop fighting with syntax errors just to format code.

Beautify Format is built on a proprietary Fault Tolerance Engine that formats code others refuse to touch. Unlike traditional formatters that crash on missing semicolons or unbalanced brackets, this tool intelligently repairs syntax while beautifying, ensuring your workflow never breaks.

✨ Key Features

  • 🛡️ Fault Tolerance: Automatically fixes minor syntax errors (missing brackets, semicolons, etc.) during formatting.
  • 🧠 Smart Auto-Detection: Ignores misleading file extensions and detects the true language based on content heuristics.
  • 🌍 50+ Supported Languages: From modern web frameworks to legacy system configs, we handle it all.
  • ⚡ Zero Config: Works instantly with sensible defaults. No .prettierrc or complex setup required.

⚙️ Extension Settings

Beautify Format operates with Zero Configuration. It automatically detects indentation, language, and syntax issues without requiring a configuration file.

However, the following behaviors are default:

Setting Default Description
Indentation 2 spaces Standard indentation for most languages (configurable via VS Code settings).
Fault Tolerance High Aggressively attempts to fix syntax errors during formatting.
Auto-Detect Enabled Uses content heuristics to identify language if extension is wrong.

Note: To customize specific formatter options (e.g., brace style), use standard VS Code settings for now. Advanced configuration (beautify.json) is coming in v1.0.

📋 Requirements

  • Visual Studio Code: v1.74.0 or higher.
