# Configuring Rustfmt

Rustfmt is designed to be very configurable. You can create a TOML file called `rustfmt.toml` or `.rustfmt.toml`, place it in the project or any other parent directory and it will apply the options in that file. If none of these directories contain such a file, both your home directory and a directory called `rustfmt` in your [global config directory](https://docs.rs/dirs/1.0.4/dirs/fn.config_dir.html) (e.g. `.config/rustfmt/`) are checked as well.

A possible content of `rustfmt.toml` or `.rustfmt.toml` might look like this:

```toml
indent_style = "Block"
reorder_imports = false
```

Each configuration option is either stable or unstable.
Stable options can be used directly, while unstable options are opt-in.
To enable unstable options, set `unstable_features = true` in `rustfmt.toml` or pass `--unstable-features` to rustfmt.

# Configuration Options

Below you find a detailed visual guide on all the supported configuration options of rustfmt:


## `indent_style`

Original Code:

```rust
#![rustfmt::skip]

fn foo() {
    println!("a");
}



fn bar() {
    println!("b");


    println!("c");
}
```

#### `1` (default):
```rust
fn foo() {
    println!("a");
}

fn bar() {
    println!("b");

    println!("c");
}
```

#### `2`:
```rust
fn foo() {
    println!("a");
}


fn bar() {
    println!("b");


    println!("c");
}
```

## `blank_lines_lower_bound`

Minimum number of blank lines which must be put between items. If two items have fewer blank lines between
them, additional blank lines are inserted.

- **Default value**: `0`
- **Possible values**: *unsigned integer*
- **Stable**: No (tracking issue: #3382)

### Example
Original Code (rustfmt will not change it with the default value of `0`):

```rust
#![rustfmt::skip]

fn foo() {
    println!("a");
}
fn bar() {
    println!("b");
    println!("c");
}
```

#### `1`
```rust
fn foo() {

    println!("a");
}

fn bar() {

    println!("b");

    println!("c");
}
```


## `required_version`

Require a specific version of rustfmt. If you want to make sure that the
specific version of rustfmt is used in your CI, use this option.

- **Default value**: `CARGO_PKG_VERSION`
- **Possible values**: any published version (e.g. `"0.3.8"`)
- **Stable**: No (tracking issue: #3386)

## `hide_parse_errors`

Do not show parse errors if the parser failed to parse files.

- **Default value**: `false`
- **Possible values**: `true`, `false`
- **Stable**: No (tracking issue: #3390)

## `color`

Whether to use colored output or not.

- **Default value**: `"Auto"`
- **Possible values**: "Auto", "Always", "Never"
- **Stable**: No (tracking issue: #3385)

## `unstable_features`

Enable unstable features on the unstable channel.

- **Default value**: `false`
- **Possible values**: `true`, `false`
- **Stable**: No (tracking issue: #3387)

## `license_template_path`

Check whether beginnings of files match a license template.

- **Default value**: `""`
- **Possible values**: path to a license template file
- **Stable**: No (tracking issue: #3352)

A license template is a plain text file which is matched literally against the
beginning of each source file, except for `{}`-delimited blocks, which are
matched as regular expressions. The following license template therefore
matches strings like `// Copyright 2017 The Rust Project Developers.`, `//
Copyright 2018 The Rust Project Developers.`, etc.:

```
// Copyright {\d+} The Rust Project Developers.
```

`\{`, `\}` and `\\` match literal braces / backslashes.

## `ignore`

Skip formatting the specified files and directories.

- **Default value**: format every file
- **Possible values**: See an example below
- **Stable**: No (tracking issue: #3395)

### Example

If you want to ignore specific files, put the following to your config file:

```toml
ignore = [
    "src/types.rs",
    "src/foo/bar.rs",
]
```

If you want to ignore every file under `examples/`, put the following to your config file:

```toml
ignore = [
    "examples",
]
```

## `edition`

Specifies which edition is used by the parser.

- **Default value**: `2015`
- **Possible values**: `2015`, `2018`
- **Stable**: Yes

Rustfmt is able to pick up the edition used by reading the `Cargo.toml` file if executed
through the Cargo's formatting tool `cargo fmt`. Otherwise, the edition needs to be specified
in your config file:

```toml
edition = "2018"
```

## `version`

Which version of the formatting rules to use. `Version::One` is backwards-compatible
with Rustfmt 1.0. Other versions are only backwards compatible within a major
version number.

- **Default value**: `One`
- **Possible values**: `One`, `Two`
- **Stable**: No (tracking issue: #3383)

### Example

```toml
version = "Two"
```

## `normalize_doc_attributes`

Convert `#![doc]` and `#[doc]` attributes to `//!` and `///` doc comments.

- **Default value**: `false`
- **Possible values**: `true`, `false`
- **Stable**: No (tracking issue: #3351)

#### `false` (default):

```rust
#![doc = "Example documentation"]

#[doc = "Example item documentation"]
pub enum Foo {}
```

#### `true`:

```rust
//! Example documentation

/// Example item documentation
pub enum Foo {}
```

## `inline_attribute_width`

Write an item and its attribute on the same line if their combined width is below a threshold

- **Default value**: 0
- **Possible values**: any positive integer
- **Stable**: No (tracking issue: #3343)

### Example

#### `0` (default):
```rust
#[cfg(feature = "alloc")]
use core::slice;
```

#### `50`:
```rust
#[cfg(feature = "alloc")] use core::slice;
```

## `emit_mode`

Internal option

## `make_backup`

Internal option, use `--backup`
