Allow programmatic usage of library (example: vscode formatter extension) about prisma-case-format HOT 2 OPEN

I think it might be possible to create an extension that calls a cli function, but having a proper function that transforms the input into an output (without directly writing to the filesystem) would allow for the vscode.languages.registerDocumentFormattingEditProvider to work its magic using the buffer rather than going through a terminal command.

Have you tried just doing like spawnSync and invoking prisma-case-format with the --dry-run flag? --dry-run should spit out the contents to stdout

Seems like a nifty idea to make prisma-case-format a drop-in replacement for prisma format. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or expertise to build anything like that, however you're totally welcome to make a PR for this and your other suggestion, and I'll get it merged in.

Running the cli through a spawn process programmatically is indeed a solution (that I use myself in my projects for other stuff) but is a bit overkill, espeically when you already have all the necessary code to not have to do it through a cli.

I'm not saying get rid of the cli (although I don't think that's what you think I'm saying), but allowing to call the formatter in a programmatic way would be beneficial for performances inside (for exemple) a vscode extension.

I'd be happy to try and make a PR describing what I'm saying, I'll see how much time in have in the coming weeks!
