First try at an AQL formatter for VS Code

Homemade formatter for AQL file. AQL is a query language for ArangoDB.

How to use

• Install Typescript annd TS-Node globally

  npm install -g typescript
  npm install -g ts-node
  

• Install an extension to allow custom scripts in VS Code. I use Custom Local Formatters.

• Update the config file of the extension to point to the formatter.ts file.

  "customLocalFormatters.formatters": [
          {
              "command": "ts-node path/to/formatter.ts",
              "languages": [
                  "aql"
              ]
          }
      ],

• When formatting an AQL file, the script will be executed and the file will be formatted.

How it works

The script reads the input from stdin, formats it and writes the output to stdout.

TODO list

• Capitalize the functions and keywords
• Replace double whitespaces with a single whitespace
• Space after a comma
