Retab VS Code Extension

A VS Code extension that integrates the retab formatter for Protocol Buffers, HCL, Terraform, Dart, and Swift files.

Prerequisites

• VS Code 1.74.0 or higher

Features

Provides formatting support for:

• Protocol Buffers (.proto)
• HashiCorp Configuration Language (.hcl)
• Terraform (.tf, .tfvars)
• Dart (.dart)
• Swift (.swift)

Basic Usage

1. Install the extension
2. Open a supported file
3. Use VS Code's format command:
   • Command Palette: Format Document
   • Keyboard Shortcut: Shift + Alt + F (Windows/Linux) or Shift + Option + F (macOS)
   • Right-click menu: Format Document

Workspace Configuration

To use the extension, you need to configure the workspace to use the extension as the default formatter for the supported file types.

{
	"[proto]": {
		"editor.defaultFormatter": "walteh.retab-vscode"
	},
	"[hcl]": {
		"editor.defaultFormatter": "walteh.retab-vscode"
	},
	"[terraform]": {
		"editor.defaultFormatter": "walteh.retab-vscode"
	},
	"[dart]": {
		"editor.defaultFormatter": "walteh.retab-vscode"
	},
	"[swift]": {
		"editor.defaultFormatter": "walteh.retab-vscode"
	}
}

You may also need to enable format on save in the workspace settings:

{
	"editor.formatOnSave": true
}

The extension will automatically detect the file type and apply the appropriate formatter.

Configuration

The extension uses retab's configuration from your project's .editorconfig file. See the retab documentation for more details.
