Format SQL files using the syntaqlite formatter. Use when the user wants to format, reformat, or pretty-print SQL code.
# Format SQL Format SQLite SQL using the syntaqlite CLI formatter. ## Usage ```bash # Format a file (print to stdout) syntaqlite fmt query.sql # Format in-place syntaqlite fmt -i query.sql # Format from stdin echo "SELECT a,b FROM t WHERE x=1" | syntaqlite fmt # Format multiple files via glob syntaqlite fmt -i "**/*.sql" # Format with options syntaqlite fmt -w 120 -k upper query.sql ``` ## Options - `-e, --expression <SQL>`: format an inline SQL expression instead of files - `-w, --line-width <N>`: max line width (default: 80) - `-t, --indent-width <N>`: spaces per indentation level (default: 2) - `-k, --keyword-case <upper|lower>`: keyword casing (default: upper) - `-i, --in-place`: overwrite files in place - `--check`: check if files are formatted (exit 1 if not) - `--semicolons <true|false>`: append semicolons (default: true) ## Notes - When the user asks to format a specific file, use `-i` to write in place. - When formatting multiple files, use a glob pattern with `-i`. - Use `--check` in CI to verify formatting without modifying files.
