CodeFormatter

CodeFormatter is a package that provides functionality for formatting Wolfram Language code.

Needs["CodeFormatter`"]

CodeFormat["If[a,f/@b,g/@c]"]
Out[2]= If[a,
            f /@ b
            ,

Setup

CodeFormatter depends on CodeParser paclet.

CodeFormatter and its dependencies are included in Mathematica 12.2 and above.

For older versions, install CodeFormatter paclet and dependencies from the public paclet server:

PacletInstall["CodeParser"]
PacletInstall["CodeFormatter"]

Build and install the CodeFormatter paclet locally

Using CodeFormatter

After CodeFormatter is installed, it can be used.

Needs["CodeFormatter`"]

CodeFormat["If[a,f/@b,g/@c]"]
Out[2]= If[a,
            f /@ b
            ,
            g /@ c
        ]

The input to CodeFormat may be a string, a File, or a list of bytes.

Troubleshooting

Make sure that the paclets can be found on your system:

Needs["CodeFormatter`"]

and try a basic example:

CodeFormat["If[a, b, c]"]
