mixin arguments can not be formatted

[ekfuhrmann]

If I have the following formatted code:

+link({
 name: 'Solutions', 
 subnav: {
 sublinks: [
 {name: 'WISP', url: '#', icon:'wisp'},
 {name: 'Fiber', url: '#', icon:'fiber'},
 {name: 'MDU', url: '#', icon:'mdu'},
 {name: 'Voice', url: '#', icon:'voice'},
 {name: 'Cable', url: '#', icon:'cable'},
 {name: 'Enterprise', url: '#', icon:'enterprise'}
 ]
 }
})

It gets formatted to the following:

+link({ name: 'Solutions', subnav: { sublinks: [ {name: 'WISP', url: '#', icon:'wisp'}, {name: 'Fiber', url: '#', icon:'fiber'}, {name: 'MDU', url: '#', icon:'mdu'}, {name: 'Voice', url: '#', icon:'voice'}, {name: 'Cable', url: '#', icon:'cable'}, {name: 'Enterprise', url: '#', icon:'enterprise'} ] }})

Is there any possible way to prevent this reformatting from happening, as it makes parsing the information far more difficult?

Mh yeah, I knew this would come someday 😌
I definitely have to work on this problem

Could you get around this in the meantime in the following way?

- var nav = {
 name: 'Solutions', 
 subnav: {
 sublinks: [
 {name: 'WISP', url: '#', icon:'wisp'},
 {name: 'Fiber', url: '#', icon:'fiber'},
 {name: 'MDU', url: '#', icon:'mdu'},
 {name: 'Voice', url: '#', icon:'voice'},
 {name: 'Cable', url: '#', icon:'cable'},
 {name: 'Enterprise', url: '#', icon:'enterprise'}
 ]
 }
}
+link(nav)

It's tricky to implement this feature request, because it's multiline-javascript formatting within pug
And I have to take care of the indentation and other things

I may have time at the upcoming weekend

I figured this would be a complicated implementation, so I am totally happy with the - var workaround for the time being.

I wish I could help more with the implementation, but I unfortunately do not have much experience with creating linting rules (I'm guessing it's a fair amount of regex?), but I can certainly help test should you come up with anything.

Thanks for the response!

For anyone looking to use - var, you will need to use the following format for a multi-line var:

- 
 var nav = {
 name: 'Solutions', 
 subnav: {
 sublinks: [
 {name: 'WISP', url: '#', icon:'wisp'},
 {name: 'Fiber', url: '#', icon:'fiber'},
 {name: 'MDU', url: '#', icon:'mdu'},
 {name: 'Voice', url: '#', icon:'voice'},
 {name: 'Cable', url: '#', icon:'cable'},
 {name: 'Enterprise', url: '#', icon:'enterprise'}
 ]
 }
 }
+link(nav)

Uff... we have a huge problem here :/

plugin-pug/src/printer.ts

Lines 716 to 720 in 34f3a5d

	let args: string | null = token.args;
	if (args) {
	args = args.trim();
	args = args.replace(/\s\s+/g, ' ');
	result += `(${args})`;

Here we have args and it is just a string
In the string there is a comma separated list of arguments. But I cant split it by , because if one argument in example json contains comma by it self, it breaks.

So I will ask the author of pugjs to change the lexer to output a string[] instead of a string
Same applies also to mixins

So sorry if this could take some time
