2020 starts with a new vshaxe release! :tada: The highlights of this release are:

Auto Indentation

Something a lot of people have been waiting for: pressing enter after a bracketless if / else / for / etc now automatically increases the indentation:

Same for case and default in switch:

Note: depending on your code style, auto indentation might require some configuration. Read the wiki page for more info.

Sort Imports

The Haxe extension already some support for VSCodeā€™s ā€œOrganize Importsā€ feature, but it only removed unused ones. Now it also sorts the imports alphabetically like you would expect.

We also added a separate ā€œSort Importsā€ code action if you only want to sort imports without removing unused ones. Both of these can be configured to automatically run when saving the file (similar to ā€œformat on saveā€), have a look at the wiki for more details.

Extract Constant

This is the first refactoring code action that vshaxe supports, with more planned in the future. It replaces all occurences of a string literal with a constant.

Full list of changes as always in the changelog. Also, a big thanks to @RblSb and @ablum for their contributions to this release.

In case someone wants their imports grouped by e.g. top- or second-level package names you can put

{
  "emptyLines": {
    "importAndUsing": {
      "betweenImportsLevel": "secondLevelPackage",
      "betweenImports": 1
    }
  }
}

into your hxformat.json and vshaxe will add an empty line between two imports if second part of your package name differs (e.g. sys.io.File and sys.db.Connection - note: also between sys.FileSystem and sys.io.File). betweenImportsLevel supports a few more options, VSCode should give you auto completion in hxformat.json.

The setting should work even if you havenā€™t turned on formatter in your projects.
