JSON Formatter CLI

A CLI tool to format package.json file with customizable key alignment and indentation.

Features

• Aligns package.json keys for better readability.
• Supports nested objects.
• Allows customization of maximum key length for alignment.

Installation

To install the CLI tool, run:

npm install json-tabifier

yarn add json-tabifier

pnpm add json-tabifier

Usage

Run the formatter on a JSON file:

tabify <maxKeyLength>

• <maxKeyLength> (optional): The maximum length of keys to align. Keys longer than this will not be aligned.

Example:

tabify 20

This will format the package.json file in the current directory, aligning keys up to 20 characters long.

Fix for maxKeyLength with Nested Objects

Previously, when the maxKeyLength parameter was specified, the tool skipped formatting nested objects and returned them as a single line. This issue has been fixed. Now, even if a key exceeds the maxKeyLength, its value (if it's an object) will still be formatted recursively.

Example Input

{
  "name": "example",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "An example JSON file"
}

Example Output

{
  "name"        : "example",
  "version"     : "1.0.0",
  "description" : "An example JSON file"
}
