Is there a code formatter tool for Haxe code?

Question

Is there a Haxe code formatter, to beautify code?

Alternatively, if there is one that is made for other languages, but works well enough, it can also be accepted.

Answer 1

There's now a dedicated code formatter for Haxe called haxe-formatter. Compared to astyle, it actually properly understands all Haxe-specific constructs, including the latest Haxe 4 syntax and conditional compilation. You can install it from Haxelib and reformat your code from the command line:

haxelib install formatter
haxelib run formatter -s <source-directory>

It's also integrated into the Haxe extension for VSCode out of the box:

A very convenient way to use it is to enable "format on save" and "format on paste" in your settings, so your code is always formatted correctly:

"[haxe]": {
    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
    "editor.formatOnPaste": true
}

But of course, you can also invoke the Format Document command manually (Shift+Alt+F).
