This vim plugin integrates external code-formatting programs into vim automatically.
|
2012-12-02 15:31:22 -05:00
|
|
|
If you have installed a supported formatprogram, you can use it within vim out of the box.

How to use
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
To be able to use automatic code formatting, you have to install an external program that can format code of the programming language you are using.
|
2012-12-02 15:28:27 -05:00
|
|
|
It suffices to make the formatprogram either globally available or to put it in the `formatters/` folder.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes alternative installation methods are supported.
|

|
|
|
|
2012-12-03 03:03:07 -05:00
|
|
|
When you have installed the formatters you need, you can format the buffer with the command `:Autoformat`.
|
2012-12-02 09:12:04 -05:00
|
|
|
For convenience it is recommended that you assign a key for this, like so:
|
2012-12-02 15:19:14 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2012-12-02 09:12:04 -05:00
|
|
|
```vim
|
2012-12-03 03:03:07 -05:00
|
|
|
noremap <F7> :Autoformat<CR><CR>
|
2012-12-02 09:12:04 -05:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
2012-12-03 03:03:07 -05:00
|
|
|
If you don't want to format the whole buffer, you can alternatively format visually selected code with `gq`.
|
2012-12-02 15:36:06 -05:00
|
|
|
For more ways to perform autoformatting type `:help gq`.

Supported formatprograms
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
2012-12-02 13:55:32 -05:00
|
|
|
Here is a list of formatprograms that are currently supported.
|
2012-12-02 15:19:14 -05:00
|
|
|
* `astyle` for __C#, C++, C and Java__.
|
2012-12-02 14:54:59 -05:00
|
|
|
It's probably in your distro's repository, so you can download it as a regular package.
|
2012-12-02 15:36:06 -05:00
|
|
|
(For Ubuntu type `sudo apt-get install astyle` in a terminal)
|
2012-12-06 17:50:38 -05:00
|
|
|
Here is the link to the site: http://astyle.sourceforge.net/
|
2012-12-02 14:54:59 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2012-12-02 15:19:14 -05:00
|
|
|
* `jsbeautify` (the python version) for __Javascript__.
|
2012-12-02 15:37:17 -05:00
|
|
|
This one can also be installed as a vundle package (if you use the vundle plugin).
|
|
|
|
To do so, put this in your .vimrc: `Bundle "einars/jsbeautify"`.
|
2012-12-06 17:50:38 -05:00
|
|
|
Note that we're only using the python version, so `node` doesn't have to be installed necessarily.
|
|
|
|
Here is the link to the repository: https://github.com/einars/js-beautify
|

|
2012-12-02 13:59:47 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2012-12-02 15:19:14 -05:00
|
|
|
* `autopep8` for __Python__.
|
2012-12-02 14:54:59 -05:00
|
|
|
It's probably in your distro's repository, so you can download it as a regular package.
|
2012-12-02 15:36:06 -05:00
|
|
|
(For Ubuntu type `sudo apt-get install autopep8` in a terminal)
|
2012-12-06 17:50:38 -05:00
|
|
|
Here is the link to the repository: https://github.com/hhatto/autopep8
|
|
|
|
And here the link to its page on the python website: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/autopep8/0.5.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `phpCB` for __PHP__.
|
|
|
|
You can download it's binary here
|
|
|
|
http://www.waterproof.fr/products/phpCodeBeautifier/download.php
|
|
|
|
I recommend putting the phpCB binary in the `formatters/` directory.

|
|
2012-12-02 15:19:14 -05:00
|
|
|
If you find yourself in need of support for another formatprogram, simply add a configuration file in the folder `vim-autoformat/ftplugin/`.
|
2012-12-01 15:34:44 -05:00
|
|
|
You can take the existing ones as an example.
|
|
|
|
Oh, and be sure to send me a patch. :)

How can I change the behaviour of formatters?
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
2012-12-02 15:19:14 -05:00
|
|
|
Every formatter is called from a script in the `vim-autoformat/ftplugin/` directory.
|
|
|
|
E.g. the file that calls the C# formatter is named `vim-autoformat/ftplugin/cs.vim`.
|
2012-12-02 15:36:06 -05:00
|
|
|
You can change the arguments passed to the formatter in that file.
