I used to write
data A = A {
a :: Double
}
deriving(Eq, Show)
but now i prefer
data A = A {
a :: Double
} deriving(Eq, Show)
I think the answer will be no, but i ask anyway: is there a code formatter for Haskell?
I have now written hindent, which is written in terms of haskell-src-exts. It has Emacs and Vim support.
There is haskell-src-exts which will parse your code and it has a pretty printing module for printing the AST to a string. E.g.
import Language.Haskell.Exts
main = interact codeFormat
codeFormat = check . fmap reformat . parseModuleWithComments where
reformat = prettyPrint
check r = case r of
ParseOk a -> a
ParseFailed loc err -> error $ show (loc,err)
Example:
λ> putStrLn $ codeFormat "module X where x = 1 where { y 1 = 2; y _ = 2 }"
module X where
x = 1
where y 1 = 2
y _ = 2
Alternatively you can write a pretty printer yourself (even based on the above if you just want to specialise), and then you can have whatever style you want. Replace prettyPrint
with your own. The AST is very straight-forward.
Then you can hook it up with Emacs to reformat every time you hit save or something.
There's stylish-haskell which can do precisely what you want.
I've written a small script for that same purpose: https://github.com/djv/small/blob/master/tidy.hs I call it from vim to reformat my code.
