About

Luafmt is licensed under the MIT license and written by Lars Mueller alias appgurueu.

Features

  • Fixes spacing & indentation
  • Neat literal formatting
  • Converts ({}) and ('')/("")/([[]]) calls to short forms
  • Moves comments to reasonable scopes (blocks or table constructors)
  • Table & function inlining
  • Extra newlines around function declarations

API

Installation

Install the NPM package luafmt:

npm install @appguru/luafmt

And import it like this:

const { ast, formatChunk, formatter } = require("@appguru/luafmt")

ast

Abstract syntax tree methods.

fixRanges

Makes luaparse ranges be from if to end and not from if to then for all IfClauses of the AST.

insertComments(chunk)

Inserts comments into the top-level abstract syntax tree provided by luaparse.

formatter(conf)

Provides a formatter which returns a function format(ast, [indent]) taking a luaparse AST & optionally the base indentation as number. Note that you have to call [fixRanges] and [insertComments] on the AST yourself before using it:

const { ast } = require("@appguru/luafmt")
const { parse } = require("luaparse") 
const srcAST = parse(`-- hello world
if true then print'hello world!'
else _ = _ end`)
const formatter = ast.formatter()
ast.fixRanges(srcAST)
ast.insertComments(srcAST)
console.log(formatter(srcAST))

formatChunk(text)

Takes a Lua chunk (think file / function body) as string and returns a formatted version, also as string.

formatter(conf)

const configuredFormatChunk = formatter({
  // string
  indent: "\t",
  // string
  newline: "\n",
  // boolean
  extra_newlines: true,
  // object
	inline: {
    // object or false
		block: {
			max_exp_length // number, in characters
    },
    // object or false
		table: {
			max_field_count // number
			max_field_length // number, in characters
		}
	}
})
