THANKS

Many thanks to authors of sql-formatter lib. I spent few hours for searching SQL query prettifier but most of them was awful or require JAVA/ruby (I failed to add "comma last" for anbt-sql-formatter).

The reason why I don't create PR for adding cli for sql-formatter lib is that sql-formatter use lodash dependency while I want to have minified version without any dependencies what is done by rollup :)

EMACS SNIPPET

Here you can find more, but below is config that I use for formatting selected region.

  (defun sql-beautify-region (beg end)
    "Beautify SQL in region between beg and END.
Dependency:
npm i -g sql-formatter-cli"
    (interactive "r")
    (save-excursion
      (shell-command-on-region beg end "sql-formatter-cli" nil t)))
  (defun sql-beautify-buffer ()
    "Beautify SQL in buffer."
    (interactive)
    (sql-beautify-region (point-min) (point-max)))
  (add-hook 'sql-mode-hook '(lambda ()
                              ;; beautify region or buffer
                              (local-set-key (kbd "C-c t") 'sql-beautify-region)))

TODO

• Add version option support
• Add integrity tests
• Use yarn instead of npm
