When you generate lib/modules/etc in an nx+nativescript project, the nx format will crawl through all the *.ts-files in the platform folder.

This is a quick and very dirty fix to get around that.
apply-patches.sh is a shell script for applying patches to node_modules (which is very dirty -- but sometimes needed).
fix-nw-format-for-tns.patch is the patch itself, which tells the formatter to ignore the files under the platforms-folder

Put both files into the <gitroot>/patches-folder and mark apply-patches.sh as executable.

Edit package.json and change postinstall from

./node_modules/.bin/nx postinstall

To:

./patches/apply-patches.sh; ./node_modules/.bin/nx postinstall

Run npm install again or call patches/apply-patches.sh directly to apply the patch
