TypeScript Formatter & Beautifier - Free Online
What is a TypeScript formatter?
A TypeScript formatter cleans and indents TS files, aligning imports, interfaces, types, and functions. It highlights common syntax issues so you can debug faster. Use it for frontend, backend, or library code without opening an IDE. Everything runs locally for privacy.
How to use the TypeScript formatter
- Paste TS code: Add components, utilities, or declaration files.
- Choose indentation: Select 2 or 4 spaces to match your style guide.
- Get results: View formatted code instantly. Copy it or download as a .ts file.
Why use this formatter?
- Readable reviews: Share tidy code in pull requests or docs.
- Quicker debugging: Clear indentation exposes missing braces, commas, or generics.
- Local privacy: No code leaves your device.
Use case 1: React components
Format TSX components before code review to highlight prop types and hooks clearly.
Use case 2: API clients
Beautify generated clients to inspect typings and method signatures.
Use case 3: Library declarations
Clean up .d.ts files to ensure exported types are easy to scan.
Examples
Basic example
Input: type User={id:number;name:string}
Output:
type User = {
id: number;
name: string;
};
Advanced example
Input: Minified TSX component with generics and hooks
Output: Multi-line, indented component showing props, state, and return JSX clearly.
Common errors
Unterminated generics
If parsing fails, check for missing > in generic types. The formatter points to the first issue.
JSX syntax issues
Unclosed tags in TSX will break formatting. Close all tags before retrying.
Tips and proven approaches
- Keep 2-space indent to match common TS/JS style guides.
- Run your project linter after formatting for rule-specific fixes.
- Pair with the JavaScript formatter for plain JS files.
