Haxe code formatter

[markknol]

Can there be a code formatter implemented for the Haxe?

Maybe this project can be converted to a commandline tool (using neko) to be able to format Haxe code?

Didn't the old code formatter work for Haxe as well? I seem to remind so, and in that case when Mika upgraded it he removed support for Haxe but could be added again?

At any rate, is that project really working for every case? At a first glance I'm not completely sure, nor it seems to be very configurable, but maybe I'm wrong.

This more Mika's area. People around here would also be interested on having this.

I dont know it has some options. I don't know if it is any good too :)

I don't know if the old code formatter didn't work, it is disabled in my version.

The AS3 code formatter doesn't support Haxe. We need a reliable tool to use for that, it's the main issue.

I could integrate a formatter if there would be a good one available.

I tried the haxeprinter, it was out of date. This will make the project work again. dpeek/haxeprinter#9

These are the options you have in the configuration file:

{
    "cuddle_method_braces":false,
    "cuddle_type_braces":false,
    "empty_line_after_import":false,
    "empty_line_after_package":true,
    "empty_line_before_type":true,
    "empty_line_between_enum_constructors":false,
    "empty_line_between_fields":true,
    "empty_line_between_typedef_fields":false,
    "extends_on_newline":false,
    "function_arg_on_newline":false,
    "implements_on_newline":false,
    "inline_empty_braces":false,
    "maximum_line_length":100,
    "modifier_order":["override", "public", "private", "static", "extern", "dynamic", "inline", "macro"],
    "print_root_package":false,
    "remove_private_field_modifier":false,
    "space_after_structure_colon":false,
    "space_after_type_hint_colon":false,
    "space_around_function_arg_assign":false,
    "space_around_property_assign":true,
    "space_around_typedef_assign":true,
    "space_before_structure_colon":false,
    "space_before_type_hint_colon":false,
    "space_between_anon_type_fields":true,
    "space_between_enum_constructor_args":false,
    "space_between_function_args":true,
    "space_between_property_get_set":true,
    "space_between_type_param_constraints":true,
    "space_between_type_params":true
}

The application can be build/called with neko. It worked pretty good as far I've tested.

I will have a look at this.

Great! Looking forward to this one; It will make the editor even more complete! 👍

I saw in the repo this is also being used by HIDE (also a Haxe editor)

Hey this sounds awesome, Im looking forward to test this out!
