singleLine

Control whether items should be placed on single line as possible, even they're originally on multiple lines, or force them to be on multiple lines.

Possible option values:

  • "prefer": Place items on single line as possible.
  • "smart": Whether items should be placed on single line will be determined by original layout.
  • "never": Force items to be on multiple lines.
  • "inherit": Inherit from the base singleLine option.

Default option value is "smart".

This global option can be overridden by different syntax nodes. Some syntax-node-specific options will override by default instead of "inherit":

  • arguments.singleLine
  • argumentsDefinition.singleLine
  • directiveLocations.singleLine
  • directives.singleLine
  • enumValuesDefinition.singleLine (default: "never")
  • fieldsDefinition.singleLine (default: "never")
  • implementsInterfaces.singleLine
  • inputFieldsDefinition.singleLine (default: "never")
  • listValue.singleLine
  • objectValue.singleLine
  • schemaDefinition.singleLine (default: "never")
  • schemaExtension.singleLine (default: "never")
  • selectionSet.singleLine (default: "never")
  • unionMemberTypes.singleLine
  • variableDefinitions.singleLine

Example for "prefer"

query Query( $a: A $b: B ) { field1 field2 }

will be formatted as:

query Query($a: A, $b: B) { field1 field2 }

Example for "smart"

query Query( $a: A $b: B ) { field1 field2 }

will be formatted as:

query Query( $a: A $b: B ) { field1 field2 }

which is the same as the original layout.

But,

query Query($a: A $b: B ) { field1 field2 }

will be formatted as:

query Query($a: A, $b: B) { field1 field2 }

Example for "never"

query Query($a: A, $b: B) { field1 field2 }

will be formatted as:

query Query( $a: A $b: B ) { field1 field2 }
