Import sorter

An opinionated ES6 and TypeScript import sorter.

TODO:

Ts config json

• Should we include dom in lib?

Docs

• write a dev guide how to develop:

• yarn install
• yarn watch (will block one terminal tab)
• whenever you make a change, it will automatically be picked up by tsc
• Quick and dirty way to run cli version: ./node_modules/.bin/ts-node ./bin/index.js
• yarn build:prod for a production build

• To test the newest library (not yet published) in another project, do yarn link. Then, in the other project run yarn link import-sorter. After this, you will be able to

import { sortImports } from 'import-sorter';
const result = sortImports(...);

After testing, make sure to unlink import-sorter, by navigating to it and yarn unlink

Debugging the CLI

• Temporarly add a call to cliSort function in src/cli/index.ts with a desired configuration, i.e.:

cliSort({
  content: '',
  dryRun: true,
  verbose: true
});

Note - in this way, the configuration binding is being skipped, and it can't be relied on the default value. Thus, all desired configuration value have to be explicitly specified.

• Use the VSCode's launch.json and launch the Launch Program configuration

Future

• An option to specify a path or a file(s) in which to sort imports. If no option is specified, run on all files.
  • Maybe use this: https://nodejs.org/api/path.html#path_path_isabsolute_path
  • We can maybe use one files argument, which can be an array of either directories or files. If it's a file, run the lib on it. If it's a directory, run the lib on the files inside it. Optionally, if recursive flag is up, continue to iterate through directories recursevly
