organize-imports-cli

VS Code's 'Organize imports' executable from command line

Plays nicely with Prettier and lint-staged:

"lint-staged": {
  "*.ts": [
    "organize-imports-cli",
    "prettier --write"
  ]
}

Usage

> organize-imports-cli [--list-different] paths...

Each path is one of:

• a ts/js file (and related extensions: .tsx, .mts, .cts, .jsx, .mjs, .cjs)
• a tsconfig*.json — the whole project is processed
• a directory — walked recursively for the extensions above
• a glob pattern — e.g. 'src/**/*.ts' (quote it so the shell doesn't expand it)

Directory walks and glob patterns skip node_modules.

Files containing the substring // organize-imports-ignore are skipped.

The --list-different flag prints a list of files with unorganized imports. No files are modified.

Requirements

Node.js ≥ 22.12.
