JSON Align

A simple VS Code extension to align JSON array objects by key, making them more readable.

Features

This extension provides a command and format-on-save functionality to vertically align values in a JSON array of objects.

Before:

[
    { "header": "Benchmark", "progress": 1 },
    { "header": "Lib", "progress": 0 },
    { "header": "Compiler", "progress": 0 }
]

After:

[
    { "header": "Benchmark", "progress": 1 },
    { "header": "Lib",       "progress": 0 },
    { "header": "Compiler",  "progress": 0 }
]

Usage

To use this extension as the default formatter for JSON files and enable format on save, add the following to your settings.json:

"[json]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "Tillsat.jsonalign",
    "editor.formatOnSave": true
}

Enjoy!
