Description

TypeScript Version: 3.1.0-dev.20180717

Code

const o = { a: 0, b: 1, c: 2 };

Expected behavior:

A refactor exists to convert to:

const o = {
    a: 0,
    b: 1,
    c: 2,
};

and back.

Actual behavior:

No such refactor. I have to do a lot of manual editing of whitespace.

Research direction

The issue provides a TypeScript object-literal example but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing refactor handling for object literals and its tests, then verify that the refactor converts between one-line and multi-line forms with the shown output and trailing commas.
