This VS Code extension exposes the possibility to sort, format and validate YAML files.
Commands
This extension contributes the following commands:
Sort YAML: Sorts a given YAML. You can either sort the whole YAML document or sort only a selection of the text.
Validate YAML: Validates a given YAML.
Format YAML: Formats a given YAML without sorting it.
Custom Sort 1: This command will sort a given YAML with custom order. If some of the keys of customSortKeywords_1 will be found at the top level of the YAML, these will be put at the beginning of the YAML file (in the given order). You can use this e. g. to sort Kubernetes configmaps.
Custom Sort 2: Same as Custom Sort 1.
Custom Sort 3: Same as Custom Sort 1.
