dfmt

dfmt is a formatter for D source code

Status

dfmt is alpha-quality. Make backups of your files or use source control.

Building

Using Make

• Clone the repository
• Run git submodule update --init in the dfmt directory
• To compile with DMD, run make in the dfmt directory. To compile with LDC, run make ldc instead. The generated binary will be placed in dfmt/bin/.

Using

By default, dfmt reads its input from stdin and writes to stdout. If a file name is specified on the command line, input will be read from the file instead, and output will be written to stdout.

Options

• --inplace: a file name is required and the file will be edited in-place.
• --braces=otbs: Use "The One True Brace Style", placing open braces on the same line as the previous token.
• --braces=allman: Use "Allman Style", placing opening braces on their own line. This is the default.
• --tabs: Use tabs for indentation instead of spaces.

Terminology

• Braces - { and }
• Brackets - [ and ]
• Parenthesis / Parens - ( and )
