Install

npm install @wasm-fmt/shfmt

npx jsr add @fmt/shfmt

Usage

Node.js / Deno / Bun / Bundler

import { format } from "@wasm-fmt/shfmt";

const source = `#!/bin/bash
echo "hello world"
`;
const formatted = format(source);
console.log(formatted);

With options:

const formatted = format(source, "script.sh", {
	indent: 2,
	binaryNextLine: true,
	switchCaseIndent: false,
	spaceRedirects: true,
	funcNextLine: false,
	minify: false,
	singleLine: false,
	simplify: true,
});

Web

For web environments, you need to initialize WASM module manually:

import init, { format } from "@wasm-fmt/shfmt/web";

await init();

const source = `#!/bin/bash
echo "hello world"
`;

const formatted = format(source);
console.log(formatted);

Vite

import init, { format } from "@wasm-fmt/shfmt/vite";

await init();
// ...

Or use the ./bundler entry with vite-plugin-wasm

import { format } from "@wasm-fmt/shfmt/bundler";

Entry Points

• . - Auto-detects environment (Node.js uses node, Webpack uses bundler, default is ESM)
• ./node - Node.js environment (no init required)
• ./esm - ESM environments like Deno (no init required)
• ./bundler - Bundlers like Webpack (no init required)
• ./web - Web browsers (requires manual init)
• ./vite - Vite bundler (requires manual init)
