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
It does not autofix the code but it warns you:
-> yamllint stuff.yaml
stuff.yaml
196:23 error trailing spaces (trailing-spaces)
278:11 warning too few spaces before comment (comments)
279:11 warning too few spaces before comment (comments)
280:11 warning too few spaces before comment (comments)
I use it with overcommit (
https://github.com/brigade/overcommit),
toghether they prevents to commit if there are errors.
It is also configurable, of course.
