ClangFormatIJ hooks up clang-format into IntelliJ based IDEs, such as IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, or similar.
To use clang-format, please install it from the JetBrains Marketplace.
Next, you'll need to install clang-format itself. To do so, you could grab the binaries...
- from npm:
npm i -g clang-format - from homebrew for Mac:
brew install clang-format - by installing the official llvm toolchain: http://releases.llvm.org/download.html
Once installed, go into your IntelliJ settings for clang-format (Settings > Tools > clang-format) and point the clang-format binary field to the executable (e.g. clang-format.exe on Windows).
The executable could be located in your PATH already, or you could explicitly use something like the following:
- for npm/windows: C:\Users\
<your username>\AppData\Roaming\npm.\node_modules\clang-format\bin\win32\clang-format.exe - for the llvm toolchain:
[path/to/clang]/clang/bin/clang-format
To use the formatter, simply run the Reformat Code with clang-format action inside of your IDE.
You can also bind the action to a key inside of your settings (Settings > Keymap > Reformat Code with clang-format) and even create a Macro that automatically reformats your code upon saving it.
