IntelliJ IDE supports explicit formatter enable/disable comments which is used by Illuminated Cloud
// @formatter:off
String val = 'whatever code I feel like here and IntelliJ won\'t touch it';
String val2 = 'more code with weird indenting because I feel like it';
// @formatter:on
{
// prettier-ignore
String val = 'whatever code I feel like here and IntelliJ won\'t touch it';
// prettier-ignore
String val2 = 'more code with weird indenting because I feel like it'
}
Should afmt have a way to prevent formatting from acting on a portion of the file? Should it have it's own pattern? Should it respect the keywords from the other formatters?
I expect it will be needed, already as I use this to take a formatting pass at my own files I see areas I've already disabled formatting being changed in ways I wouldn't want, but not things that I would expect the tool to accommodate.
I'm sure there are pros & cons to any strategy, most likely I'd imagine that those formatters were disabled because of their quirks and maybe afmt won't have the same quirks so it wouldn't need those anymore. Would need a larger sample size I'm sure.
