Align groups of assignments (=)

[hanpq]

I would love to see an option to allow alignment of assignmentgroups. Its easiest to show what I mean with an example. (Github wouldn't allow me to format the code manually and trimmed the whitespaces automatically so I had to attach a printscreen)

So that '=' are aligned in columns within a group of assignments. A group could be interpreted as delimitered with a blank line.

I can see that not everyone would like this so this feature should probably be activated by an powershell.codeformating -setting.

Formatting is actually provided by PSScriptAnalyzer's Invoke-Formatter command. We hook into it in EditorServices here.

I think the best thing to do is to open a new issue in PSScriptAnalyzer. Then we'll have a little bit of integration work to do but it should be pretty straightforward.

Ah, I see! I've made another feature request in PSScriptAnalyzer here: PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer#1029

Should I leave this feature request open since you said it might need integration work later on if the feature is implemented in PSScriptAnalyzer?

Thanks!

[rjmholt]

Awesome! Yeah I think we should leave the issue open here both to track the work to integrate and also for anyone else who is looking for this feature.

Let's actually close this issue here for now until it's implemented in PSSA since there's (currently) no action item on the extension.
