Configuring blade-formatter

To configure project wide settings, put .bladeformatterrc.json or .bladeformatterrc in your repository root, blade-formatter will treat them as settings files.

e.g.

{
  "indentSize": 4,
  "wrapAttributes": "auto",
  "wrapLineLength": 120,
  "wrapAttributesMinAttrs": 2,
  "indentInnerHtml": true,
  "endWithNewLine": true,
  "endOfLine": "LF",
  "useTabs": false,
  "sortTailwindcssClasses": true,
  "sortHtmlAttributes": "none",
  "noMultipleEmptyLines": false,
  "noPhpSyntaxCheck": false,
  "noSingleQuote": false,
  "noTrailingCommaPhp": false,
  "extraLiners": []
}

blade-formatter will search up the directory structure until it reaches the root directory.

Ignore Files

To ignore a specific file, put a `.bladeignore' in the root of your repository and the blade formatter will treat it as an ignored file.

e.g.

resources/views/users/index.blade.php
resources/views/products/*
resources/views/books/**/*

Disabling format in file

To disable formatting in your file, you can use blade comments in the following format:

{{-- blade-formatter-disable --}}
    {{ $foo }}
    {{ $bar }}
{{-- blade-formatter-enable --}}

To disable formatiing on a specific line, you can use comment in the following format:

{{-- blade-formatter-disable-next-line --}}
    {{ $foo }}

To disable formatting for an entire file, put a {{-- blade-formatter-disable --}} comment at the beginning of the file:

{{-- blade-formatter-disable --}}

{{ $foo }}

API

You can also use the blade formatter via API.

const { BladeFormatter } = require('blade-formatter');

const input = `
<html>
  <body>
    <p>foo</p>
  </body>
</html>
`;

const options = {
  indentSize: 4,
  wrapAttributes: "auto",
  wrapLineLength: 120,
  endWithNewLine: true,
  useTabs: false,
  sortTailwindcssClasses: true,
};

new BladeFormatter(options).format(input).then((formatted) => {
  console.log(formatted);
});

ESModule

import { Formatter } from "blade-formatter";

const input = `
<html>
  <body>
    <p>foo</p>
  </body>
</html>
`;

const options = {
    indentSize: 2,
};

new Formatter(options).formatContent(input).then((formatted) => {
    console.log(formatted);
});

Troubleshoot

• If you encounter the following error during installation

$ npm install -g blade-formatter
~~
current user ("nobody") does not have permission to access the dev dir
~~

Try setting the global user as root

$ npm -g config set user root

• If you encounter the following message like below when sorting TailwindCss class sorting enabled

  message: 'module is not defined in ES module scope\n' +
// or
export default {
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

then you should check your nodejs module type is matched with tailwindcss.config.js.

ESM

package.json

"type": "module"

tailwind.config.js

export default {
  ~~~
}

CommonJS

tailwind.config.js

module.exports = {
  ~~~
}

TODO

• custom directives
• @for directive support
• ignore formatting in blade comment
• automatically add new line after directive

$ yarn install
$ yarn run watch # watch changes

You can use local docker image for development. It might help if the host OS is not an amd64 architecture.

$ make build
$ make run example.php

Testing

$ yarn install
$ yarn run test

You can use local docker image for testing. It might help if the host OS is not an amd64 architecture.

$ make build
$ make test
$ make debug # attach
