CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

3.0.0

Breaking changes

• The web preset is renamed to js. Anyone using --preset web from 2.1.0 must switch to --preset js.

Changes

• The js preset gains explicit [*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,mjs,cjs,cts,mts,json,jsonc}], [*.{yml,yaml}], and [Makefile] sections.
• --detect recognizes more Node/TypeScript markers (deno.json, bun.lockb, *.js, *.mjs, *.cjs, *.mts, *.cts) and reports js instead of web.

2.1.0

New CLI flags

• <dir> positional argument — write .editorconfig to that directory.
• -f, --force — overwrite an existing file.
• -o, --output <path> — write to a specific path.
• --stdout — print to stdout instead of writing to disk.
• -p, --preset <name> — generate from a named preset (default, web, python, go).
• --detect — pick a preset by sniffing the target directory.
• -m, --merge — append new sections to an existing .editorconfig.

New prompt properties

• tab_width (positive integer, optional).
• max_line_length (positive integer, off, or blank).
• unset is now accepted for every property in per-glob override sections.

Fixes

• indent_size now requires a positive integer or the literal tab.
• Glob validation rejects unbalanced []/{}.
• format() no longer throws on unknown keys.
• No leading blank line in the output when there is no root preamble.
• README typo: create-editor → create-editorconfig.

2.0.0

Breaking changes

• Now requires Node.js >=18.3.0 (needed for node:util.parseArgs).

Changes

• Removed command-line-args dependency; argument parsing now uses node:util.parseArgs.
• Removed is-valid-glob dependency; glob validation is now an inline native check.
• Converted source to ES modules ("type": "module").
• Added a test suite using node:test. Run with npm test.

CLI behavior, prompts, and .editorconfig output are unchanged.

1.2.2

• Re-enable adding multiple .editorconfig rules.

1.2.1

• Typo fixes.

1.2.0

• Add -y flag for default .editorconfig.
• Switch internal naming to camelCase; add default options object.

1.1.0

• Initial multi-section support.
