Extending mix format rules?
A few things that annoy me with the opinionated formatter (when the line_length is exceeded) are
<<0,1,2,3,..>> Binary gets expanded to
<<
0,
1,
2,
3,
..
>>
Extra indent
values = [{0, "a"}, {1, "c"}, {2, "e"}]
value = values
|> Enum.find_value(fn{key, letter}-> key == 1 && letter end)
|> String.upcase()
|> Base.encode64()
# Formatted
value =
values
|> Enum.find_value(fn {key, letter} -> key == 1 && letter end)
|> String.upcase()
|> Base.encode64()
I feel without the extra indent its clearer to read if the function has more scopes.
and / or get placed at end of line
Enum.filter(values, fn{k,v}->
k == 5
and k != 7
and v != "a"
end)
Enum.filter(values, fn {k, v} ->
k == 5 and
k != 7 and
v != "a"
end)
Reading from left to right makes it take longer to comprehend. If you read right to left its natural tho.
If line gets expanded in a cond
Enum.filter(values, fn {k, v} ->
cond do
k == 5 and k == 5 and k == 5 and k == 5 and k == 5 and k == 5 and k == 5 and k == 5 -> false
k != 7 -> false
v != "a" -> false
true -> true
end
end)
Enum.filter(values, fn {k, v} ->
cond do
k == 5 and k == 5 and k == 5 and k == 5 and k == 5 and k == 5 and k == 5 and k == 5 ->
false
k != 7 ->
false
v != "a" ->
false
true ->
true
end
end)
Extra spaces even tho the lines are short, the results are placed on seperate lines.
Does anyone have any idea how to slightly tune the formatter? I know its meant to be opinionated and the official answer will be, if you dont like it dont use it.

Hi,
The formatter is not configurable besides the line length and the optional parentheses on some function calls.

I also dislike some of the things the formatter does, but I dislike the time and energy spent arguing about formatting even more, so I live with it.

Note that you can write custom formatters as of 1.13: mix format — Mix v1.21.0-dev

Is this customizable enough though? Can it control things like not putting extra scope after = sign if pipe is used or remove extra space between case/cond clauses?
The binary being formatted with 1 char per line was fixed since I posted this so thats nice.
