This is a good question. I really didn’t find the perfect one for cfml cftags cfscript, but the best one I could get good results with is beautify. After some time, I’ve found the coding standards from Ortus Solutions, and within their repositories a real good .jsbeautifyrc file I wish I’d have found iearlier. I can warmly recommend it to you. Of course, you can tweak it as you want. Here you are

If you want automatic formatting, look into CFFormat. it’s a CLI tool that has a watcher that can auto-format as you save. It’s not a proper VSCode plugin, but it is super configurable. You can see the formatting defaults Ortus uses in our coldbox templates in the .cfformat.json file
