Calls typstfmt on the current Typst App Document

typstfmt Ext

A Chromium extension that calls typstfmt on the current Typst App Document!

Caution

This extension is in early development and may break your document. Backup your work before using it.

Installation

Note

I have submitted the extension to Edge Add-ons, but it is still under review. For now, you can install it manually.

1. Clone this repository.
2. Turn on "Developer Mode" in edge://extensions/.
3. Click "Load Unpacked" and select the typstfmt-ext directory.
4. The extension should now be installed.

To use the extension, the typstfmt executable must be installed on your system. You can install it here.

After installing the extension, you have to install a Native Messaging Host to communicate with the typstfmt executable. For Windows users, I've already compiled the host and included it in the host directory. For other platforms, you can compile the host yourself with cmake and the included CMakeLists.txt

Next, register the host. You can either follow the instructions here ( refer to the following JSON) or run the host/register.ps1 file to do so.

{
  "path": "<PATH_TO_HOST_EXECUTABLE>",
  "description": "TypeScript Formatter Extension Host",
  "name": "dev.flandia.typstfmt_ext_host",
  "allowed_origins": [
    "chrome-extension://ebkbgnmkkebikgiohnipickpecmcilep/"
  ],
  "type": "stdio"
}

Finally, if you registered the host by running host/register.ps1, open the generated manifest.json file and replace the "chrome-extension://ebkbgnmkkebikgiohnipickpecmcilep/" with the ID of the extension on your machine.

Note

Since the extension is not yet published, the ID of the extension is not determined. The allowed_origins field is set to the ID of the extension on my machine. The ID of the extension on your machine will be different. You can find it in edge://extensions/ after installing it.

Usage

Open a document in Typst App, click the extension button and your document should be formatted!
