QML Formatter

This repository is simple project which implements basic qml formatter, which is used internally inside my projects.

It is alternative for default QML formatter which sometimes broke ours code, so we want to create own app to format files only with needed rules.

I don't expect to add any options to configure it in runtime.

For now formatter can: - remove empty lines from start and end of file - connect multiple empty lines into one - add at the end empty line - add spaces before and after ? : - format if/else/for oneliners - handle strings inside ', " and ` - format classes inside other classes

Usage

Formatter checks for qml files recursively inside provided folders: commandline qml_formatter folder_with_files_to_check folder_with_files_to_check2 -efolder_with_excluded_files -efolder_with_excluded_files2 e.g. commandline qml_formatter /home/a /home/b -e/home/a/not_to_check -e/home/a/completelly will list all files inside folder /home/a and /home/b that are not inside /home/a/not_to_check and /home/a/completelly.

By default, app runs in interactive mode which require to confirm formatting, but there is additional argument NO_QUESTION which format files without questions e.g. commandline qml_formatter /home/a NO_QUESTION

Conversion example

Before: ```qml

import QtQuick import "../../commons/elements" import "../preparationScreen" as ExamCommons

Text { id : root property var able: isable? noable: very_able signal pressed() image : "qrc://image.svg" layer.effect: ElevationEffect

{
    elevation: elevation
}

}

After qml import QtQuick import "../../commons/elements" import "../preparationScreen" as ExamCommons

Text { id: root property var able: isable ? noable : very_able signal pressed() image: "qrc://image.svg" layer.effect: ElevationEffect { elevation: elevation } }

```
