EditorConfig at SourceLair
Fine-grained editor settings
Do you prefer 4-space indentation in your Python files, but tab based indentation in your JavaScript files? Would you like 80 character line length limit only for your Python files? EditorConfig is here for you.
Simple, user-friendly syntax
EditorConfig is written in the INI syntax format,
commonly used by developers in files like
.gitignore or Windows properties files.
Migrating from another editor?
EditorConfig is supported by most code editors that are used today like Vim, Emacs, Atom and more. Feel confident that after migrating your project to SourceLair, it will automatically follow your coding style.
Supported settings
indent_style
Tabs or spaces? Setting this to tab or
space, sets the indent style of your
code to hard or soft tabs accordingly.
indent_size
Define the size of your indent unit according with a
number according to your taste. 2 for
JavaScript and 4 for Python is what
many devs choose. When set to tab, it
defaults to tab_width.
tab_width
Tab width defaults to the value of the
indent_size and allows you to define
how large the tab character appears.
end_of_line
Set your "end of line" character value to
lf for Unix-like end of line, to
crlf for Windows-like or just
cr for old-school 8-bit end of line.
trim_trailing_whitespace
Setting this to true trims any trailing
whitespaces in lines of code — that could pollute your
Git and Mercurial diffs — every time you save your
file.
insert_final_new_line
Setting this to true adds a final new
line character to your file, every time you save it.
max_line_length
Setting this to an integer of your choice will display a ruler to help you keep track of your maximum line length.
Working on multiple projects?
EditorConfig is ideal for following the coding style of each project, without having to take any action.
