⚠ This package is no longer maintained ⚠

With the release of Typescript 2.8 over a year ago, the ability to organize imports comes bundled with Typescript, in a better implementation than this one made for a hack week. As such, I have no further plans to maintain this project.

If for whatever reason you would like to take ownership of this repository, please let me know.

Sort Typescript imports

Sort import statements in Typescript code

Features

This configurable extension allows you to sort all the imports in a *.ts or *.tsx file.

Tip: You can access this functionality either from the context menu, or simply pressing 'F10'

Extension Settings

• typescript.extension.sortImports.sortMethod: The method to use for sorting the imports.
  • 'importName'(default) sorts by the type and name of the import. Namespace imports are first, followed by default imports, named imports, and unnamed imports.
  • 'path' sorts by the import path, sorting relative-path imports above package imports
• typescript.extension.sortImports.pathSortOrder: An array describing the order in which imports should be sorted by paths. Only applicable if sortMethod is set to path.
  • Default: ["relativeDownLevel", "relativeUpLevel", "package"]
  • package - Any import path that does not begin with .
  • relativeUpLevel - Any import path that begins with ../
  • relativeDownLevel - Any import path that begins with ./
• typescript.extension.sortImports.maxNamedImportsInSingleLine: The number of named imports to allow on a single line. If a single import has more than this number, they will be broken up onto separate lines.
• typescript.extension.sortImports.quoteStyle: The type of quotation mark to use. single(default) or double.
• typescript.extension.sortImports.sortOnSave: If set to true, imports will be sorted whenever you save a file. Default: false
• typescript.extension.sortImports.omitSemicolon: If set to true, the trailing semicolon will be omitted. Default: false
• typescript.extension.sortImports.enableJavascript: If set to true, the extension will attempt to sort ES6-style imports in Javascript files. Default: false

Known Issues

• This extension does not currently sort comments within the import block along with the import statements

Future roadmap

• Handle distinct blocks of imports separated by a blank line.
• Handle comments within import blocks
• Read settings from existing tslint configuration.
