Any chance this could become a prettier plugin?

Hi, just stumbled over twiggy. I code with Craft CMS, great effort to maintain something new! Thanks! 👏

As far as I understand twiggy is VS Code only, right?

Is there any chance the language server could be somehow used for a prettier plugin?

It's still a big painpoint for me that there is no way to auto-format in PhpStorm / WebStorm and other IDEs consistently - in addition to VS code.

I'm not experienced with language servers - just read about Astro switchting to Volar als language server tooling. https://astro.build/blog/astro-and-volar/

And I heard that a language server is the first step to get a prettier plugin up and running. Therefore I'm trying to figure out how much effort is needed to get this done for twig.

Thanks very much for any hints!

Regards, Matthias

Thank you too!

Also works in Neovim and Sublime

prettier

This could work: https://github.com/zackad/prettier-plugin-twig-melody
Untested.

The main discussion about formatting is here: #4

PHPStorm relies on PHP, either through its included AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) or through a local/remote environment. Even when using the Symfony Support plugin, which is written in Java, it also uses PHP to access it.

So yes, I think any robust twig formatter would have to have some PHP component to it. As of now, I think this can be achieve using Twig CS Fixer because it allows us to configure additional rules by extending AbstractFixableRule.

And let me reinforce that this is where I've land on it at this time, until I can either find or be shown a better way 😉

Yes agreed, just wanted to make the point that the question of php executable settings wouldn't be needed if prettier is used https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/prettier.html (And people use prettier anyway for css and js via node_modules/)

Funny sidenote: PhpStorm has it's own Twig formatting integration since 2013 out of the box. So a shared configuration standard for this and Twiggy in VSCode could also ease some pain when the same settings are used (in order to avoid git diff chaos when devs auto-format in different IDEs). But this is also complicated I guess. Or a twiggy-port for PhpStorm. 🤔

Just for clarification: Twig CS Fixer currently has no auto-format/auto-indent features for twig/html, right?

[webrgp]

Correct! I've cloned PHP CS Fixer for Visual Studio Code, which basically bridge the same gap for PHP CS Fixer, to create an extension for the Twig CS Fixer in the same mold.

In the mean time, I've bookmarked Run On Save extension to try and see if that will work for now.

To be clear, it would be great if we integrated Twig CS Fixer into Twiggy. That would already happen if I wasn't that focused on completion and typing features.

So, if you have time for this, then feel free to send a PR. You can also ask me for any help with this.
