> An opinionated code formatter for NSIS scripts

## Description

This is a Rust implementation of [`dent`](https://www.npmjs.org/package/@nsis/dent-cli) (hence the name), a NodeJS-based formatting tool for NSIS scripts.

It aims to be fully compatible while making distribution easier for people outside the NodeJS ecosystem.

## Installation

### Cargo

```sh
cargo install ardent
```

### Scoop

```sh
scoop bucket add nsis https://github.com/NSIS-Dev/scoop-nsis
scoop install nsis/ardent
```

### Homebrew

```sh
brew install idleberg/asahi/ardent
```

### Source

```sh
git clone https://github.com/idleberg/ardent.git
cd ardent
cargo build --release
```

The binary is at `target/release/ardent`.

## CLI Usage

```
ardent [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]

Commands:
  format  Format NSIS scripts
  check   Check if NSIS scripts are formatted correctly

Options:
  -D, --debug    Print debug messages
  -h, --help     Print help
  -V, --version  Print version
```

### Format

Formats one or more `.nsi` / `.nsh` files.

```sh
# Print formatted output to stdout
ardent format installer.nsi

# Edit files in-place
ardent format --write src/**/*.nsi
```

See `ardent format --help` for available options.

### Check

Checks whether files are already formatted.

```sh
# Check only (reports drift)
ardent check src/**/*.nsi

# Check and auto-fix (still exits 1 if drift was found)
ardent check --write src/**/*.nsi
```

See `ardent check --help` for available options.

## Library Usage

### Formatting

```rust
use ardent::{DentOptions, EndOfLines, Formatter};

let formatter = Formatter::new(DentOptions {
    end_of_lines: Some(EndOfLines::Lf),
    use_tabs: true,
    indent_size: 2,
    trim_empty_lines: true,
}).expect("valid options");

let input = r#"section "My Section"
detailprint "Hello"
sectionend
"#;

let output = formatter.format(input).expect("valid NSIS");
assert_eq!(output, "Section \"My Section\"\n\tDetailPrint \"Hello\"\nSectionEnd\n");
```

### Checking

Returns `None` if the input is already formatted, or `Some(formatted)` if it needs changes.

```rust
use ardent::{DentOptions, Formatter};

let formatter = Formatter::new(DentOptions::default()).unwrap();

match formatter.check(input).unwrap() {
    None => println!("Already formatted"),
    Some(formatted) => println!("Needs formatting"),
}
```

### Options

| Field              | Type                 | Default              | Description                                                        |
| ------------------ | -------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `end_of_lines`     | `Option<EndOfLines>` | `None` (auto-detect) | Force CRLF or LF line endings                                      |
| `indent_size`      | `usize`              | `2`                  | Spaces per indent level (ignored when using tabs)                  |
| `trim_empty_lines` | `bool`               | `true`               | Collapse consecutive blank lines and strip leading/trailing blanks |
| `use_tabs`         | `bool`               | `true`               | Indent with tabs instead of spaces                                 |
