@18f/identity-normalize-yaml

Normalizes YAML files to ensure consistency and typographical quality:

• Alphabetizes keys.
• Applies improved punctuation.
  • Converts straight quotes " and ' to smart quotes “, ”, and ’
  • Converts three dots ... to ellipsis …
• Stylizes content using Prettier, respecting local project Prettier configuration.

Installation

Install using npm or Yarn. To reduce conflicts with a project's own Prettier dependency version, you must install Prettier as a separate dependency if not already installed.

Using npm:

npm install @18f/identity-normalize-yaml prettier

Using Yarn:

yarn add @18f/identity-normalize-yaml prettier
