Usage

The format function of this package provides a formatted string (gherkin document) from your AST.

import {format, FormatOptions} from "gherkin-formatter";
import {Document} from "gherkin-ast";
import {read} from "gherkin-io";

const document: Document[] = await read("./test.feature");
const options: FormatOptions = {separateStepGroups : false};
console.log(format(document[0], options));
// Feature: Test Feature
//
//   As a user...

In JavaScript

const {format, FormatOptions} = require("gherkin-formatter");
const {Document} = require("gherkin-ast");
const {read} = require("gherkin-io");

const document = await read("./test.feature");
const options = {
    separateStepGroups: false
};
console.log(format(document[0], options));
// Feature: Test Feature
//
//   As a user...

Configuration - FormatConfig

Passing a FormatConfig object to format method (or other Ast type methods where it's applicable), how feature file text is rendered can be set.

Option	Description	Default
oneTagPerLine	Should the tags be rendered separately, one by line?	false, i.e., all tags of a scenario, feature, etc. will be rendered in the same line
separateStepGroups	Should step groups (when-then) be separated?	false
compact	Should empty lines be skipped, removed from the result?	false, i.e., there will be empty lines in appropriate places
lineBreak	The line break character(s).	null, i.e., it will determine the line-break based on the platform
indentation	The indentation character(s).	' ', i.e., it uses two space characters to add indentation where it's appropriate
