elm-format

elm-format is still in alpha. If you run into any problems, please report them.

The format produced by elm-format may change significantly before the 1.0.0 release. If this will cause problems for you, please refrain from using elm-format during the alpha- and beta-test periods.

elm-format formats Elm source code according to a standard set of rules. It is inspired by the popular gofmt.

The benefits of elm-format:

It makes code easier to write, because you never have to worry about minor formatting concerns while powering out new code.
It makes code easier to read, because there are no longer distracting minor stylistic differences between different code bases. As such, your brain can map more efficiently from source to mental model.
It makes code easier to maintain, because you can no longer have diffs related only to formatting; every diff necessarily involves a material change.
It saves your team time debating how to format things, because there is a standard tool that formats everything the same way.
It saves you time because you don't have to nitpick over formatting details of your code.

Usage

elm-format Main.elm  # Format a single file
elm-format Main.elm --yes  # Overwrite the file without prompting
elm-format src/  # Format all *.elm files in a directory
elm-format --stdin  # Format input from stdin and write to stdout
elm-format --stdin --output Main.elm  # Format input from stdin and write to file
elm-format --help  # See other command line options
