Forward flags to clang-format

[bbrk24]

I have been using the clang-format package, which is obsolete, and I've been looking for replacements. This one caught my eye recently for being used by node itself. However, it doesn't work for my use case.

I have a script that expects the clang-format command to be either the exact same as or a thin wrapper around the actual clang-format binary, and passes it flags such as --dry-run and --Werror. I was quite surprised when doing that with this package causes a TypeError of all things!

Will this package support forwarding flags like these, or is that out of scope for this project?

This is one of the objectives of this project.

This project has two objectives:

1. To provide a simple string-to-string function devoid of IO operations for direct use in browsers.
2. To offer a drop-in alternative to the original clang-format, leveraging wasm to achieve better cross-platform capabilities than the original clang-format.

Currently, the first objective has been achieved, and the second objective is to wrap the format function and re-implement it in node.

I am considering directly compiling and exporting the main function from the original clangFormat.cpp to reduce the cost of maintenance.

I just tried again with the new release, and got this absolutely massive syntax error:

npx clang-format gives me a syntax error right away, but node node_modules/.bin/clang-format doesn't. I think it might be trying to execute the JS as bash? The file doesn't appear to have a shebang, unlike the neighboring clang-format-diff.

You are right, it lacks the shebang.

The upcoming LLVM repository version is 20; I'm unsure if releasing a 19.1.1 is advisable.
I hope there's no version number conflict with the LLVM repository.
