F# code formatting: adjust spaces

Question

I use VS2015 to write code in F#. I usually used R# to format C# code and now I try to find something similiar but for F#.

The main goal is to adjust spaces. For example

MethodName (var1,var2  )|> SomeMethod    |> SomeMethod

should be converted to :

MethodName ( var1, var2 ) |> SomeMethod |> SomeMethod

What tool can format my code in such manner?
How to do it?

Update1

I have tried Visual F# Power Tools and it doesn't work for me.

Thats why i asked here - to receive community opinion about different tools that can format code in F#

Answer 1

I thought this was a duplicate question but could not find it.

The problem with finding the answer by searching such as with Google is that you run into F# Formatting but that is not what you want.

The key is knowing that the project is named fantomas.

How to install Fantomas

It can be installed as a stand alone extension but is more commonly installed as part of the F# Power Tools.

Using Visual Studio

From the VS menu
Tools -> Extensions and Updates...

In the left index click Online

In the search box in the upper right enter F# Power Tools

In the list in the middle select Visual F# Power Tools

Click Download

Click Install

Click Restart Now

Switch to the source code tab

Quick demo of using Fantomas

Note: For this example I had to use different code than provided in the question because this only works with valid F# code and the code in the question was not valid F# code.

let somefunction x = x

let functionName   var1    var2 = var1   |> somefunction       |> somefunction

Ctrl-K, D (Press Ctrl-K, then Ctrl-D)

let somefunction x = x

let functionName var1 var2 = 
    var1
    |> somefunction
    |> somefunction

Setting options for Fantomas

From Visual Studio menu

Tools -> Options...

In left index scroll down and select F# Power Tools

Select Formatting

Answer 2

You could try Chris McGrath's Code Alignment extension, that's the one I use. It provides toolbar buttons which allow you to align the text on the selected lines by predefined or custom character strings.
