Formatting

laravel-typescript can automatically format its output to match your project's coding style.

Formatter Integration

The generator can integrate with popular tools like Prettier or Biome. When enabled, the generated files will be automatically piped through your chosen formatter.

Configure this in config/typescript.php:

'formatter' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'tool' => 'prettier', // or 'biome', or null
    'binary' => null,   // null = auto-detect in node_modules or PATH
    'config' => null,   // null = use project default config file
],

How It Works

1. Generation: The generator produces the TypeScript content.
2. Formatting: If enabled, the content is sent to the formatter's CLI.
3. Writing: The formatted content is written to the final output file.

Manual Formatting

If you prefer to format the files yourself (e.g., using a VS Code extension or a git hook), you can disable built-in formatting by setting enabled to false.

You can also bypass formatting for a single run using the --no-format flag:

php artisan typescript:generate --no-format
