Deno fmt for yml files

[razzeee]

Would that be something worth considering?

[bartlomieju]

CC @dsherret what's the complexity of potential solution? Does dprint provide Rust implementation of YAML formatter?

[dsherret]

It would be a lot of work. I don't see a yaml parser for rust that supports parsing comments and getting spans/ranges of the text.

[razzeee]

Wouldn't https://github.com/ikatyang/tree-sitter-yaml work?

[dsherret]

That looks like it has the functionality, but we'd want to use a rust parser distributed over crates.io.

[razzeee]

Agreed, it's fairly simple to let tree-sitter build rust bindings from that (with the latest tree-sitter-cli version). And I have scripts for automatically releasing that to crates.io, but that should be done upstream, so I've opened an issue there.

Would love this, it's literally the only reason I still have a .prettierrc.yml file in my projects.

[dsherret]

It looks like deno could use https://github.com/g-plane/pretty_yaml for this.
