# Tidy Values
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Jason Sims <[email protected]>
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Aligns a series of `key: value` or `var = value` lines
#
# - Language agnostic
# - Supports quoted keys (' or ") if lines are key: value pairs
# - Supports `||=`
# - Supports mixed `||=` and `=`; the `=` will be aligned
# - Supports leading commas
# - Preserves indentation
# - Unlike many BBEdit filters, this doesn't strip the trailing newline, so you
#   can quickly select entire lines by clicking and dragging in the line number
#   column on the left.
#
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Usage:
# Select multiple lines of text that contain `key: value` or `var = value`, then
# apply this via keyboard shortcut or Text → Apply Text Filter → Tidy Values.
#
# CAUTION:
# This removes lines that don't contain either of the above expressions.
#
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Installation in BBEdit:
#
# 1. Place this file in your "Text Filters" directory:
#    ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/
#        or
#    ~/Dropbox/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/
#
# 2. Optionally assign a keyboard shortcut to "Tidy Values" in:
#    BBEdit → Preferences → Menus & Shortcuts → Text → Apply Text Filter
#

input = ARGF.set_encoding('UTF-8').read

# here's an example of what this script does:
indent           = ''
leading_comma    = ''
operators        = {}
longest_operator = 0
keys             = []
values           = []

input.split("\n").each_with_index do |line, i|
  matches = /^( *)(, *)?(?:('[^']+'|"[^"]+"|[^ :]+) *(:)|([^ =]+) *((?:\|\|)?=)) *(.*)$/.match line
  next if matches.nil?
  # capture indent for each line in case the selection uses leading commas and
  # the first line has no comma (this could be more efficient by only capturing
  # the indent of the last line, but then we'd also need to make sure the last
  # line isn't empty)
  indent = matches[1] if matches[1]
  leading_comma = matches[2] if matches[2] && leading_comma.empty?
  key = matches[3] || matches[5]
  keys.push key
  operator = matches[4] || matches[6]
  operators[key] = operator
  longest_operator = [operator.length, longest_operator].max
  values.push matches[7]
end

longest_key = keys.max_by(&:length).length

output = []

keys.zip(values).each do |key, value|
  operator = operators[key]
  prefix = output.length == 0 ? ' ' * leading_comma.length : leading_comma
  output.push "#{indent}#{prefix}#{key.ljust(longest_key)} #{operator.rjust(longest_operator)} #{value}"
end

print output.join("\n")
print "\n" if input[-1] == "\n"
