Formatting to explicit columns
Hi all,
I have a couple of formatting cases that I'm finding difficult to resolve with the IntelliJ formatter.
The first is a formatting convention where comments at the end of the line are lined up at a specific column, or pushed back if required:
(some-line) ; A comment
(another-line) ; Another comment, aligned to the first
(a-longer-line :a :b :c) ; A pushed-back comment
There doesn't seem to be any good way to express this. I tried to use spacing, but the problem is that I don't know until after the formatting how wide the line will be - it really needs to be resolved during the constraint resolution process. In the end I solved this by using a PostFormatProcessor and aligning the comments myself, but it's not ideal.
I would also like to align let bindings, but only up to a maximum width, like this:
(let [a 10
some-var 20
a-really-long-variable-name 30
{:keys [binding-var another yet-another]} values]
...)
Here, I'd like the values in the let binding to be aligned. However, when the user users destructuring or maybe just a very long variable name, I'd like to cap the amount that items will be pushed back to say, 20 characters. I could do this with a PostFormatProcessor too, but it would get very messy, especially in the presence of line comments as detailed above.
Are there any tricks I can use to achieve this sort of thing?
Thanks,
Colin
