Package Exports

narrange

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (narrange) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

NArrange

NArrange is a .NET code beautifier that automatically organizes code members and elements within .NET classes.

NArrange executes a Windows .exe executable (as a child process) and thus only works on a Windows environment.

Install

Install as a (dev) package dependency:

npm install narrange -D

Quick start

From your node.js script, execute narrange.exe in a child process

const { createNArrange } = require("narrange");
const path = require("path");

const { narrange, ctx } = createNArrange({
  srcPath: path.join(__dirname, "src/apps/mango"),
  configFilePath: path.join(__dirname, "config/NArrange.xml")
  // set debug mode
  // debugOn: true
});

console.log(ctx);

narrange();

Note that the factory method createNArrange returns both narrange and a ctx context object. Look at the ctx object to ensure you have configured narrange correctly.

During experimentation, pass debugOn: true as an option to createNArrange

Pre-commit hooks

You can use this recipe to integrate NArrange with git hooks, such as pre-commit hooks:

Setup git hooks via husky
Create node script to trigger on hook

Setup hooks

Install and setup husky

Add the following to your package.json file (or create a new one using npm init)

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "narrange": "~1.0.0"
    "husky": "~1.3.1"
  },
  "husky": {
    "hooks": {
      "pre-commit": "node format-csharp.js"
    }
  }
}

Run npm install from your Terminal to install dependencies: husky and narrange

Create node script

Create a Node script format-csharp.js that runs narrange.exe on your source files using a config file with your specific preferences.

Assuming we put the script in a /scripts folder in the project root

const { createNArrange } = require("narrange");
const path = require("path");

const rootPath = path.join(__dirname, "../");
const srcPath = path.join(rootPath, "Areas")
const configFilePath = path.join(rootPath, "config/NArrange.xml")

const { narrange } = createNArrange({
  srcPath
  configFilePath
});

narrange();

Tabs configuration

In case you want to convert spaces to tabs, you can use one of the included configuration files

config/Tabs4.xml converts 4 spaces to 1 tab
config/Tabs2.xml converts 2 spaces to 1 tab

Assuming we put the script in a /scripts folder in the project root

const path = require("path");
const rootPath = path.join(__dirname, "../");
const narrangeHomePath = path.join(rootPath, "node_modules/narrange");
const narrangeConfigPath = path.join(narrangeHomePath, "config");
// const narrangeLibPath = path.join(narrangeHomePath, "lib");

const configFilePath = path.join(narrangeConfigPath, "Tabs4.xml")s

Formatting

To create your own formatting rules, by specifying your own rules in the <Formatting> section on the config file. Use any of the files included in config or lib folders of this package.

<Formatting>
    <Tabs Style="Tabs" SpacesPerTab="2"/>
    <ClosingComments Enabled="false" Format="End $(ElementType) $(Name)"/>
    <Regions Style="NoDirective" />
    <Usings MoveTo="Namespace"/>
    <LineSpacing RemoveConsecutiveBlankLines="true" />
</Formatting>

Note that you can use the narrange-config.exe to edit a configuration file using a GUI, which ensures you can only populate it with valid values.

Simple tabs formatting configuration

Simple configuration to force 2 spaces to be converted to a tab:

const { narrange } = createNArrange({
  srcPath: path.join(__dirname, "src/apps/mango"),
  tabs: 4 // use instead of configFilePath to select built in Tabs config file
});
narrange();

createNArrange

The function createNArrange creates a child process which executes the narrange.exe executable. createNArrange accepts the following options:

onError custom stderr handler function
onOut custom stdout handler function
createMainHandler factory method to create main handler
createExitHandler factory method to create process exit handler
createWriters factory method to create writers (error, info, debug methods)
createCommand factory method to create the command to execute in the child process
exitHandler process exit handler function (takes precedence over factory)
mainHandler main handler function (takes precedence over factory)
srcPath path to input folder for narrange (location folder of source files to process)
configFilePath path to narrange config file
exePath path to narrange exe to override version available in this module
tabs spaces count to tabs used in formatting (used to select built in Tabs config file) - 2 or 4
debugOn turn debug mode on or off (default: false)

Note that all these options are optional. If any option is left out, a default value is used.

Custom narrange setup example :

const { createNArrange } = require("narrange");
const path = require("path");

const createMainHandler = (opts = {}) => {
  return (err, stdout, stderr) => {
    // ..
    if (err) {
      opts.onError(err);
    }
  };
};

const onError = (err) {
  console.error(err);
}

const { narrange } = createNArrange({
  srcPath: path.join(__dirname, "src/apps/mango"),
  configFilePath: path.join(__dirname, "config/NArrange.xml"),
  createMainHandler,
  onOut,
  onError,
  // tabs: 2 // use instead of configFilePath to select built in Tabs config file
});
narrange();

Exports

narrange exports the following "building blocks":

exitHandler function
mainHandler function
createMainHandler factory function
createExitHandler factory function
createWriters function to create info, error, and debug functions
defaults config object
paths config object

This should make it easy to build a custom narrange solution to suit your needs.

Full script example

The following example uses minimist to parse process args passed from shell.

const path = require("path");
const minimist = require('minimist');
const { createNArrange } = require("narrange");
const processArgs = process.argv.slice(2);
const opts = {
  alias: {
    h: 'help',
    s: 'src',
    t: 'tabs'
  }
};

// args is an object, with key for each named argument
const args = minimist(processArgs, opts);
const defaults = {
  srcFolder: "./",
  tabs: 4
}
if (args.help) {
  console.log(`
format-cs
---------
  -s src folder (default: ./ )
  -t spaces per tab (default: 4)
`)
  process.exit(0);
}
const srcFolder = args.src || defaults.srcFolders;
const tabs = args.tabs || defaults.tabs;
const rootPath = path.join(__dirname, "..");
const srcPath = path.join(rootPath, srcFolder),

createNArrange({
  srcPath,
  tabs
});

Tests

You can run some basic tests using jest

$ npm test

Note that the executable narrange.exe can only be executed on a Windows (perhaps also using Mono?) platform.

Recipes

gits: PowerShell - Recurse Project

Format-Document PowerShell function which leverages Recurse-Project and automates calling into Visual Studio’s Format Document command.

function Format-Document {
  param(
    [parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)]
    [string[]]$ProjectName
  )
  Process {
    $ProjectName | %{
      Recurse-Project -ProjectName $_ -Action
      {
        param($item)
        if($item.Type -eq 'Folder' -or !$item.Language)
        {
          return
        }
        $win = $item.ProjectItem.Open('{7651A701-06E5-11D1-8EBD-00A0C90F26EA}')
        if ($win)
        {
          Write-Host "Processing `"$($item.ProjectItem.Name)`"" [System.Threading.Thread]::Sleep(100) $win.Activate() $item.ProjectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand('Edit.FormatDocument') $item.ProjectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand('Edit.RemoveAndSort') $win.Close(1)
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Format-Document can be configured for Visual Studio and used to run your existing Format Document command on a subset of project files, using recurse project to iterate and select the files to be processed.
