An opinionated yaml formatter based on ruamel.yaml, that works fine for k8s descriptors

Project description

# yamkix

## Why?

- Because I like my yaml file to be nicely formatted
- Because <https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=adamvoss.yaml> creates (valid) yaml not compatible for kubernetes (and I mainly edit yaml file for kubernetes)
- Because <https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.vscode-yaml> does not add explicit start of documents and I don't like it this way
- Because I'm not a js/typescript dev so I don't want to go into a VSCode extension with client and server language

## What?

```shell
> ./yamkix -h
usage: yamkix [-h] -i INPUT [-t TYP] [-o OUTPUT] [-n] [-e] [-q] [-f] [-d]

Format yaml input file. By default, explicit_start is `On`, explicit_end is
`Off` and array elements are pushed inwards the start of the matching
sequence. Comments are preserved thanks to default parsing mode `rt`.

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i INPUT, --input INPUT
the file to parse
-t TYP, --typ TYP the yaml parser mode. Can be `safe` or `rt`
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
the name of the file to generate (same as input file
if not specied)
-n, --no-explicit-start
by default, explicit start of the yaml doc is `On`,
you can disable it with this option
-e, --explicit-end by default, explicit end of the yaml doc is `Off`, you
can enable it with this option
-q, --no-quotes-preserved
by default, quotes are preserverd you can disable this
with this option
-f, --default-flow-style
enable the default flow style `Off` by default. In
default flow style (with typ=`rt`), maps and lists are
written like json
-d, --no-dash-inwards
by default, dash are pushed inwards use `--no-dash-inwards` to have the dash start at the sequence level

```

## Config

- Explicit start of yaml docs by defaut (you can disable it with `--no-explicit-start`)
- Quotes preserved by default (you can disable it with `--no-quotes-preserved`)
- Arrays elements pushed inwards by default (you can disable it with `--no-dash-inwards`)
- Output file is input file by default
- Comments preserved by default thanks to [ruamel.yaml](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ruamel.yaml) `round_trip` mode (you can disable it with `--typ safe`)

## Where does the name 'yamkix' comes from?

- Thanks to <http://online-generator.com/name-generator/product-name-generator.php> that suggested me `zamkix`. Just switched the starting `z` for the `y` of `yaml`

## Usage

- Put the `yamkix` file somewhere in the path
- Sample **vscode** task here:

```json
{
"taskName": "format yaml with yamkix",
"type": "shell",
"command": "yamkix.py --input ${file}",
"group": "build",
"presentation": {
"reveal": "always",
"panel": "shared"
},
"problemMatcher": []
}

```
