Formatters

OpenCode V2 accepts formatter configuration, but it does not yet include a formatter runtime. File writes and edits are not automatically formatted.

Configuration

The formatter field accepts a boolean or an object keyed by formatter name:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "formatter": {
    "prettier": {
      "disabled": false,
      "command": ["prettier", "--write", "$FILE"],
      "environment": {
        "NODE_ENV": "development"
      },
      "extensions": [".js", ".jsx", ".ts", ".tsx"]
    }
  }
}

This example is valid V2 configuration, but V2 does not currently execute the command.

Each named formatter entry supports these optional fields:

Field	Type	Current V2 behavior
`disabled`	`boolean`	Accepted, but there is no runtime formatter to enable or disable.
`command`	`string[]`	Accepted as an argument array, but not executed.
`environment`	`Record<string, string>`	Accepts string environment variable names and values, but they are not applied.
`extensions`	`string[]`	Accepted without extension-specific validation, but files are not matched against it.

All entry fields are optional. The schema therefore also accepts an empty entry such as "prettier": {}.

Enable and disable

The schema accepts all of the following forms:

// Omit `formatter`, or use false, when formatting is not requested.
{
  "formatter": false
}

// Reserved for enabling all built-ins once a V2 runtime provides them.
{
  "formatter": true
}

// Configure named entries or mark one as disabled.
{
  "formatter": {
    "prettier": { "disabled": true },
    "custom": {
      "command": ["custom-fmt", "$FILE"],
      "extensions": [".foo"]
    }
  }
}

At present, omitted, false, true, and object forms have the same runtime result: V2 runs no formatter. disabled is retained as configuration data but does not control an executable formatter.

command is an array of strings, not a shell command string. $FILE is the V1 file-path placeholder and is often retained in migrated configuration. V2 does not currently substitute $FILE or define another formatter placeholder.

Likewise, V2 does not currently use extensions to select commands, merge environment into a child process, discover formatter executables or project configuration, or run multiple matching formatters. These behaviors will only be available after a V2 formatter runtime is implemented.
