Welcome to sbt-scalariform, an sbt plugin adding support for source code formatting using Scalariform.

As of sbt-scalariform 1.5.0, this plugin is now an auto plugin. Make sure to read the Upgrading from 1.4.0 and Advanced Configuration sections carefully when upgrading.

sbt-scalariform is a plugin for sbt 0.13.5+. Please make sure that you are using an appropriate sbt release. In order to download and install sbt, please refer to sbt Getting Started Guide / Setup.

As sbt-scalariform is a plugin for sbt, it is installed like any other sbt plugin, that is by mere configuration. For details about using sbt plugins, please refer to sbt Getting Started Guide / Using Plugins.

If you've got a simple one project build, you can probably skip the details and just add sbt-scalariform to your local plugin definition. If you've got a more complicated build with several projects and are upgrading from 1.4.0 or older, see the next section below. Local plugins are defined in a plugins.sbt file in the project/ folder of your project.

To add sbt-scalariform to your build using sbt 0.13.5, just add the below setting, paying attention to blank lines:

... // Other settings
resolvers += "Sonatype OSS Releases" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2"

addSbtPlugin("org.scalariform" % "sbt-scalariform" % "1.6.0")

This will add the task scalariformFormat in the scopes compile and test and additionally run this task automatically when compiling; for more control see the section Advanced configuration below

Now you are ready to go. Either start sbt or, if it was already started, reload the current session by executing the reload command. If everything worked, you should have the new command scalariformFormat available as well automatic formatting on compile and test:compile activated.

After adding the sbt-scalariform plugin like this, if you want different formatting settings from the default behavior, read the advanced configuration section.

If you are using an sbt 0.13.x version older than 0.13.5, you'll want to upgrade, or stick to using sbt-scalariform 1.4.0.

sbt 0.12.x and below is not supported for this fork, see https://github.com/sbt/sbt-scalariform for older versions.

Sbt-Scalariform versions 1.5.0 and greater have switched to using AutoPlugins for automatic settings in build files. By default, when including this project, all of your projects defined will now have sbt-scalariform settings mixed into each project. This means on compilation, your code will be formatted. If you'd like to keep sbt-scalariform available for manual formatting with a sbt scalariformFormat command, you can mix in defaultScalariformSettings to your project -- see the advanced configuration section for details on how to do this.

Autoplugins only work with sbt 0.13.5 or greater.

If you'd like to disable this plugin entirely on a per project basis, you can use sbt's built in feature to disable auto plugins:

import com.typesafe.sbt.SbtScalariform

lazy val project = Project(
    ...
).disablePlugins(SbtScalariform)

If you added the settings for this plugin like described above, you can either format your sources manually or automatically:

• Whenever you run the tasks compile or test:compile, your source files will be automatically formatted by Scalariform

• If you want to start formatting your source files explicitly, just run the task scalariformFormat or test:scalariformFormat

sbt-scalariform comes with various configuration options. Changing the formatting preferences and deactivating the automatic formatting on compile are probably the most important ones and described in detail.

You can provide your own formatting preferences for Scalariform via the setting key ScalariformKeys.preferences which expects an instance of IFormattingPreferences. Make sure you import all necessary members from the package scalariform.formatter.preferences. Let's look at an example:

.sbt build example

import scalariform.formatter.preferences._
import com.typesafe.sbt.SbtScalariform

SbtScalariform.scalariformSettings

ScalariformKeys.preferences := ScalariformKeys.preferences.value
  .setPreference(AlignSingleLineCaseStatements, true)
  .setPreference(DoubleIndentClassDeclaration, true)
  .setPreference(PreserveDanglingCloseParenthesis, true)

.scala build example

import scalariform.formatter.preferences._
import com.typesafe.sbt.SbtScalariform

lazy val project = Project(
    ...
    settings = SbtScalariform.scalariformSettings ++ Seq(
      ScalariformKeys.preferences := ScalariformKeys.preferences.value
        .setPreference(AlignSingleLineCaseStatements, true)
        .setPreference(DoubleIndentClassDeclaration, true)
        .setPreference(PreserveDanglingCloseParenthesis, true)
    )
)

If you don't want sbt to automatically format your source files when the tasks compile or test:compile, just add defaultScalariformSettings instead of scalariformSettings to your build definition.

.scala build example:

import com.typesafe.sbt.SbtScalariform

lazy val project = Project(
    "project_name",
    file("."),
    settings = SbtScalariform.defaultScalariformSettings ++ 
    ...
)

.sbt build example:

import com.typesafe.sbt.SbtScalariform

SbtScalariform.defaultScalariformSettings

If you want to additionally enable Scalariform for your integration tests, use scalariformSettingsWithIt or defaultScalariformSettingsWithIt instead of the above.

Other useful configuration options are provided by common sbt setting keys:

• includeFilter in format: Defaults to *.scala
• excludeFilter in format: Using the default of sbt
