# pg-formatter-ts [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pg-formatter-ts) [](https://coveralls.io/github/nightvisi0n/pg-formatter-ts?branch=main)

`pg-formatter-ts` is a TypeScript library that wraps the pgFormatter CLI tool for formatting PostgreSQL SQL code.
With a simple and easy-to-use API, it provides the ability to format SQL code programmatically with various formatting options.
Compared to the existing [`pg-formatter`](https://github.com/gajus/pg-formatter) library, `pg-formatter-ts` offers improved TypeScript support and better integration with modern TypeScript/JavaScript projects. This library utilizes the same underlying CLI tool, but provides a more streamlined and developer-friendly API.
Additionally, `pg-formatter-ts` supports all available CLI options of pgFormatter, allowing for greater customization and control over the formatting process.
## Installation
```bash
yarn install pg-formatter-ts
```
### Prerequisites
Ensure that `perl` is installed on your system, as `pgFormatter` relies on it. You can check if Perl is installed by running `perl -v` in your command line. If it's not installed, please visit the [Perl official website](https://www.perl.org/get.html) for installation instructions.
## Usage
```typescript
import { format, PgFormatOptions } from "pg-formatter-ts";
const sqlCode = "SELECT id, name, age FROM users WHERE age >= 18;";
const options: PgFormatOptions = {
keywordCase: 2,
spaces: 2,
};
format(sqlCode, options).then((formattedCode) => {
console.log(formattedCode);
});
```
## Options
`pg-formatter-ts` accepts an optional `PgFormatOptions` object as a parameter for the `format` function. The options available are:
```typescript
interface PgFormatOptions {
anonymize?: boolean;
commaStart?: boolean;
commaBreak?: boolean;
config?: string;
wrapComment?: boolean;
debug?: boolean;
commaEnd?: boolean;
functionCase?: number;
format?: string;
nogrouping?: boolean;
help?: boolean;
inplace?: boolean;
keepNewline?: boolean;
noExtraLine?: boolean;
maxlength?: number;
multiline?: boolean;
nocomment?: boolean;
numbering?: boolean;
output?: string;
placeholder?: string;
redshift?: boolean;
spaces?: number;
separator?: string;
formatType?: boolean;
tabs?: boolean;
keywordCase?: number;
typeCase?: number;
version?: boolean;
wrapLimit?: number;
wrapAfter?: number;
noRcfile?: boolean;
extraFunction?: string;
extraKeyword?: string;
noSpaceFunction?: boolean;
}
```
For a detailed explanation of each option, refer to the [pgFormatter documentation](https://github.com/darold/pgFormatter).
