I was thinking about the patch a little more, and I think some people may want the pretty formatted option.
I was going to create another patch for pg_get_triggerdef to add that functionality, like pg_get_functiondef and pg_get_viewdef. but I think it will break it since pg_get_triggerdef is used for the \d table command and requires the trigger to be printed as one line. The idea I had was to create another function called pg_get_triggerdef_worker_formatted(oid) that takes the OID and behaves the same way as pg_get_triggerdef_worker but adds the pretty formatting capability using appendContextKeyword() and the PRETTYFLAG_INDENT.
You might be saying, "there already is a pretty printing capability for pg_get_triggerdef". No, it just removes the schema name. What I am proposing is similar to the output of pg_get_functiondef or pg_get_viewdef. The proposal is this, I can add the pg_get_triggerdef_worker_formatted function and refactor pg_get_trigger_ddl so that we get a formatted output like this:
CREATE TRIGGER trg BEFORE INSERT ON main_table FOR EACH STATEMENT EXECUTE FUNCTION trgf()
versus one line:
CREATE TRIGGER trg BEFORE INSERT ON main_table FOR EACH STATEMENT EXECUTE FUNCTION trgf();
The function pg_get_triggerdef_worker_formatted will receive an OID as a parameter, while pg_get_trigger_ddl will remain the same taking the regclass and trigger name as parameters.
