I am using Visual Studio Code for my front end development. I have enabled the sort-keys rule which requires the keys of all object to be in alphabetical order.
I came to find out that neither ESLint, nor Prettier supports autofixing it, due to potential bugs the auto-fix can introduce, thus both of them has rejected the proposal to even consider adding auto-fix as option.
Now I have a very large legacy code base where I just added ESLint, and I need this sort-keys rule in the project. Is there any way I can auto-fix them provided I know what am I doing, possibly through some VSCode plugin or a custom script?
I am sure that changing the order of the keys will not affect my code negatively. I need it for both JSON objects as well as JS object literals.
Not exactly an automated solution but it helps with sorting object keys manually during development.
