:art: Usage

:wrench: Configure

Important: You must first configure for the extension to work properly.

Use the Unibeautify Assistant for an interactive setup of your configuration file. Simply select the languages you want and the configuration assistant will walk you though the options available. At the end, simply download or copy to your clipboard your configuration.

:pencil: Example Configuration File

See https://unibeautify.com/docs/config-file.html for details.

Given the following scenario:

• [x] Enable language JavaScript
• [x] Enable beautifier Prettier
• [x] Configure option indent_style to be space
• [x] Configure option indent_size to be 2

Create a .unibeautifyrc.yml file in your project's root directory with the following contents:

---
JavaScript: # Enable language
  beautifiers: ["Prettier"] # Enable beautifiers
  indent_style: "space"
  indent_size: 2

Then look at https://unibeautify.com/docs/beautifier-prettier.html and https://unibeautify.com/docs/options-for-languages.html for more supported options.

:pushpin: Default configuration

We provide the option to set a path to a default configuration file, so whenever a project of yours has no, e.g. .unibeautifyrc.yml, the default configuration will be used as a fallback.

To enable this, just add this to your VSCode settings:

"unibeautify.defaultConfig": "/path/to/your/.unibeautifyrc.yml",

:zap: Keyboard Shortcut

From Stack Overflow:

• Windows: Shift + Alt + F
• Mac: Shift + Option + F

:musical_keyboard: Command Palette

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl +Shift+ P or Command + Shift + P on Mac) and search for format:

• Format Document - Formats the entire editor document.
