lib.rs

1//! GDScript formatter.
2//!
3//! Formatting runs in two stages. Lowering turns the concrete syntax tree
4//! into a document describing where lines *may* break, and the renderer decides
5//! where they *do*, given the configured width. Keeping those apart means the
6//! style-guide rules live in one place instead of being spread across string
7//! concatenation.
8//!
9//! # What the guide asks for
10//!
11//! Most of it falls out of the document IR: the 100-column wrap, one space
12//! around operators and after commas, two blank lines around top-level
13//! definitions and one inside a class, trailing commas on collections that
14//! break, and two indent levels on continuation lines against one inside
15//! arrays, dictionaries and enums.
16//!
17//! The rest is explicit: quote style chosen to minimise escapes, lowercase
18//! hexadecimal, a digit either side of a float's point, single-line inner
19//! class declarations, and redundant parentheses dropped. Those live in
20//! the `literal` and `lower` modules.
21//!
22//! # Safety checks
23//!
24//! Before returning, the formatter re-parses its own output and checks that it
25//! still parses, that the tree still means the same thing, that no comment was
26//! dropped, and that a second pass is a no-op. A formatter that silently eats code is far
27//! worse than one that refuses to run, so these are on by default;
28//! [`FormatConfig::safety_checks`] turns them off.
