What is an .editorconfig Enforcer?
While an `.editorconfig` file sets the rules for your editor, this tool acts as a quick, manual enforcer. It reads the rules you provide and applies them to a piece of code, instantly fixing issues like wrong indentation, inconsistent line endings, or trailing whitespace. It's like having a "Format Document" command that works anywhere, for any file, based on your project's standards.
Common Use Cases
Formatting Snippets
Quickly format a code snippet from a blog post or documentation to match your project's style before using it.
Pre-commit Check
Run a file through the enforcer to see what changes a linter or formatter would make before you commit your code.
CI/CD Environments
Use as a simple formatting step in a CI/CD pipeline for projects that don't have a full Node.js or Python environment for formatters.
Educational Tool
Visually demonstrate the effect of different `.editorconfig` rules on a piece of code, helping teams agree on a standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this tool do?
This tool applies the rules from an `.editorconfig` file to any text or code file you provide. It's a quick way to format a single file according to your project's standards without having to run a full formatter or linter setup.
What rules does it support?
It supports the most common `.editorconfig` properties: `indent_style`, `indent_size`, `tab_width`, `end_of_line`, `trim_trailing_whitespace`, and `insert_final_newline`. It does not currently support advanced properties or file-specific globs beyond a basic configuration.
Is this the same as the .editorconfig Generator?
No. The Generator *creates* an `.editorconfig` file for you based on your preferences. This Enforcer tool *applies* the rules from an existing `.editorconfig` file to your code.
Why would I use this instead of my editor's built-in support?
This tool is useful when you are working in an environment where you don't have an editor with `.editorconfig` support, or when you quickly want to format a file that someone else sent you without adding it to a project. It's also a great way to visually test the effect of your `.editorconfig` rules.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All file processing happens entirely in your browser. Your code and `.editorconfig` file never leave your machine, ensuring your data remains private.
