Styling config. #9

Open spinus opened 10 years ago

My idea for that is, if you have code which understand config structure and can "sort" or whatever you can make another sub-tool for writing configs after "styling"/sorting. It could help not only to diff in nice way but also to keep the same "style" in different config files for the same application.

Sub-idea could be to make this package as "cfgtools" and inside could be tools like cfgdiff, cfgstyle, cfglint (maybe in the future). What do you think?

Well, currently I rely on various config parsers and their filter and pretty-print options. So my code does not understand a word of the config itself.

I'll totally take patches for new features as you describe, but cfgdiff has enough features for my personal usecase, so I probably won't invest much of my time for that.
