Configuration format

treefmt depends on the treefmt.toml to map file extensions to actual code formatters. That file is searched for recursively from the current folder and up unless the --config <path> option is passed.

[formatter.<name>]

This section describes the integration between a single formatter and treefmt.

• command: A list of arguments to execute the formatter. This will be composed with the options attribute during invocation. The first argument is the name of the executable to run.

• options: A list of extra arguments to add to the command. This is typically project-specific arguments.

• includes: A list of glob patterns used to select files. Usually this would be something like [ "*.sh" ] to select all the shell scripts. Sometimes, full filenames can be passed. Eg: [ "Makefile" ].

• excludes: A list of glob patterns to deny. If any of these patterns match, the file will be excluded.

[global]

This section describes the config that applies to every formatters.

• excludes: A list of glob patterns to deny. If any of these patterns match, the file will be excluded. This list is appended to individual formatters' exclude lists.
