Command: waypoint fmt

Rewrite waypoint.hcl configuration to a canonical format

Usage

Usage: waypoint fmt [options] [FILE]

Rewrite a waypoint.hcl file to a canonical format.

This only works for HCL-formatted Waypoint configuration files. JSON-formatted files do not work and will result in an error.

If FILE is not specified, then the current directory will be searched for a "waypoint.hcl" file. If FILE is "-" then the content will be read from stdin.

This command does not validate the waypoint.hcl configuration. This will work for older and newer configuration formats.

Global Options

-plain - Plain output: no colors, no animation. The default is false.
-app=<string> (-a) - App to target. Certain commands require a single app target for Waypoint configurations with multiple apps. If you have a single app, then this can be ignored.
-project=<string> (-p) - Project to target.
-workspace=<string> (-w) - Workspace to operate in.

Command Options

-write - Overwrite the input file. If this is false, the formatted output will be written to STDOUT. This has no effect when formatting from STDIN or when using the -check flag. The default is true.
-check - Check if the input is formatted. Exit status will be 0 if all input is properly formatted and exit status 3 otherwise. The default is false.
