Format CSS from Command Line

This is not intended to be fast but be small (~500KB) and portable in embedded systems and containers. It uses https://github.com/senchalabs/cssbeautify to perform the beautify process, as well as https://github.com/substack/minimist to parse command line arguments.

How to install

This donwloads and installs the latest binary depending on your OS (Windows isn't supported yet):

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/calbertts/formatcss/master/install.sh | sh

How to use

Available options:

file
indent: by default 4 spaces
openbrace: 'end-of-line' (default) or 'separate-line'
autosemicolon: false by default

The utility can be used as a command line program independently or can be part of a pipeline, examples:

formatcss --file sample.css
formatcss --file sample.css --indent '  '
formatcss --file sample.css --openbrace end-of-line
formatcss --file sample.css --autosemicolon

# requires cURL
formatcss --url https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/4/w3.css

As part of a pipeline:

cat sample.css | formatcss
cat sample.css | formatcss --indent '  '

How to uninstall

Since this is a small binary with no dependencies, just remove it:

rm ~/.calbertts_tools/formatcss

How to build

This project requires the QuickJS compiler to be previously installed https://bellard.org/quickjs/ Then just run:
