Hi all,
I would like to know what do you think about using an opinionated code
formatter for our ansible repo ? I think this would help with
enforcing a common style and make our yaml files easier to read and
maintain.
I have been looking at
https://prettier.io/ which support yaml and I
ran it on the repo's playbooks directory (see attached patch). Most
of the changes are indentation but we could enforce more rules using
prettier's configuration options if we wish
(vhttps://prettier.io/docs/en/configuration.html).
Prettier looks quite cool but the only down side is that it is a
Javascript application and it is currently not packaged in Fedora, I
have used a container to run it on my laptop.
Anyway what do you think about it ? Does anybody knows an alternative
to prettier ?
Hi Clement,
The most standrd solution should be yamlint.
It is also packaged in Fedora:
yamllint.noarch : A linter for YAML files
Ha nice it will be easier to use than prettier and can be used enforce
the formatting.
Thanks
