Library rules¶
open-java-format has one style and no options. A few libraries are written so that a chain of calls reads as one phrase, and the general rule of one call per line cuts that phrase apart. For those libraries the formatter carries a rule of its own.
A library rule is built in, so there is nothing to configure. It goes by method names, because the formatter sees syntax and not types, and it leaves alone any code that does not match.
| Library | What the rule does |
|---|---|
| Flogger | Keeps the logger and its fluent calls on one line in front of log( |
Proposing a rule¶
Open an issue with the library, a piece of code as it is formatted today, and the way it should look. The proposal for Mutiny shows what that takes.
A new rule changes how existing code is formatted, so it ships only in a release that is allowed to change output.
