Usage

The format function of this package provides a formatted string (gherkin document) from your AST.

import { Document } from "gherkin-ast";
import { read } from "gherkin-io";

const document: Document[] = await read("./test.feature");
const options: FormatOptions = {separateStepGroups: false};
console.log(format(document[0], options));
// Feature: Test Feature
//
//   As a user...

In JavaScript

const {format, FormatOptions} = require("gherkin-formatter");
const {Document} = require("gherkin-ast");
const {read} = require("gherkin-io");

const options = {
    separateStepGroups: false
};
console.log(format(document[0], options));
// Feature: Test Feature
//
//   As a user...
