Filter_formatter - a 'mix format' plugin which lets you invoke command line filter tools

filter_formatter | Hex is a plugin for ‘mix format’ which makes it possible to hook arbitrary command-line filters (i.e. UNIX-style commands consuming input on stdin and producing output on stdout) into your ‘mix format’ runs.

For example, here’s how to configure .formatter.exs such that mix format invokes the popular SQLFluff tool to format any SQL statements in SQL sigils as well as .sql files.
