NPM package.json formatter about beautifier-sort-package-json HOT 10 CLOSED

Prettier actually supports JSON.stringify-like formatting: prettier/prettier#4450
Uses json-stringify parser: https://github.com/prettier/prettier/blob/808ce8817b20eb016f404a03a7c822f4353660e4/src/language-js/index.js#L131-L144

@muuvmuuv they could be two separate beautifiers. Improve the existing Prettier beautifier to better support package.json and also create a new beautifier for sorting package.json keys. Then in .unibeautifyrc file, have both beautifers: ["Prettier", "Sort-Package-JSON"] for example. 🎉

@lassik I do not think this is the same. sort-package-json sort by the well-known keys from npm see https://www.npmjs.com/package/sort-package-json#how-does-it-sort

@Glavin001 I would take on this if we are going to create a beautifier for sort-package-json

OK, so it doesn't sort them in alphabetical order, but a custom one. Cool.

A possible beautifier name could be beautifier-npm, I think beautifier-sort-package-json is a little bit too long, but I can understand if we want to keep it consistent.

We generally want to keep the names the same so it doesn't confuse anyone. Does it format as well as sort?

@stevenzeck I need to check that. I guess it just sorts it. If not we could add a note for users to use it with prettier behind to beautify it first

@Glavin001 yes and Sort package would sort it not beautify it actually. I guess people can use it without Unibeautify but I thought it would be nice to have this on save

FYI: prettier/prettier#1096 Option to sort object keys

"Currently out of scope" for prettier.

EDIT: That issue seems to be about keys in JavaScript code, where the values of those keys can be executable code. JSON would be easier as order of keys cannot affect semantics.
