SmartFormat

Prettier. But it actually works.

Config-aware formatting that detects the nearest project config and reports exactly what formatter setup is active.

Why This Exists

SmartFormat is built as a privacy-first, local-first alternative to Prettier. The extension keeps core workflow data on the user's machine and focuses on the advanced workflow gaps documented in the NexForge build tracker.

Features

• Nearest config discovery
• Local Prettier detection
• Config reload watcher
• Format-on-save option
• Config report webview

Commands

• smartformat.formatFile
• smartformat.showConfig
• smartformat.configReport

Privacy

This extension is designed for local-first operation. Core data is stored in VS Code storage or workspace .vscode files where the feature explicitly supports Git sharing. No cloud service is required for the free v1.0 release.

Commercial Roadmap

The free v1.0 product is intended to be useful on its own. Paid features should be added only where they expand team workflows without weakening the local-first promise.
