Spotless Applier

⚠️ Versions >= 1.1.2 are built for Intellij IDEA >= 2024.2 and doesn't support the pre-commit feature for Gradle projects due to this bug https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-327879

Version 1.1.1 supports the pre-commit check properly but is only compatible with Intellij IDEA 2024.1.* versions.

The Spotless Applier IntelliJ Plugin enhances your development workflow by seamlessly integrating Spotless Gradle and Maven tasks directly within the IntelliJ IDE. With this plugin, you can easily apply code formatting and style enforcement to your projects, either for the current file you're working on or for the entire project.

Features

✔️ Supports multi-module projects

Commit check

The plugin offers a commit check to automatically apply Spotless formatting.

To enable this feature, navigate to Settings > Version Control > Commit and activate Reformat code with Spotless

Action on save

The plugin offers an action to automatically apply Spotless formatting on save. There is an option to choose the file extensions for which it will be triggered.

To enable this feature, navigate to Settings > Tools > Actions on Save and activate Run spotless

Settings

• Prohibit Gradle cache for 'apply' task > Starting from version 6.6.0, Spotless supports Gradle's configuration cache. If you want to prohibit it, please enable this checkbox.
• Optimize imports before applying > Enable this option to additionally execute IntelliJ IDEA's default "optimize imports" task before applying Spotless formatting.

How it works

This plugin resolve your current build tool by searching the pom.xml (Maven) or .gradle (Gradle) files in project's root folder. After that, it runs the spotless:apply or spotlessApply task.

For applying changes only for current file it uses:

• Maven Specific files
• Gradle Spotless IDE hook
