vscode-stylefmt

stylefmt is a tool that automatically formats your stylesheets.

🍴 This is a WIP fork from mrmlnc/vscode-stylefmt which is currently obsolete. This version is in daily use and kept up to date.

🖌 Advantages over prettier/stylelint - why use stylefmt?

While you should definitely use stylelint for linting CSS/SCSS, its "source.fixAll.stylelint": true can't really fix all. This plugin will fix the rest, indentations and positions etc. Trust me, you want these both.

What about Prettier? Well, it forces styles to a certain format and it doesn't give you much options. It's tricky especially with SCSS mixins and map-gets where it may even break the formatting completely by forcibly lining them up into a single line.

The official stylefmt package has not been updated since on 18 Oct 2018. However, there are still users who like to format their styles automatically and controlled with stylefmt so that's why this plugin relies on a forked npm package, @ronilaukkarinen/stylefmt. The main goal is to keep this project active and alive.

The best thing in stylefmt is that it supports stylelint out-of-the-box without being too restrictive.

So, in short: Practically this extension removes extra empty lines and indents the code to match the current indentation level. It does it a bit more efficiently than stylelint itself.
