-You can use `rustfmt` on Rust 1.24 and above.
+You can run `rustfmt` with Rust 1.24 and above.
To install:
cargo +nightly fmt
```
+To format code that requires edition 2018, create a `rustfmt.toml` [configuration](#configuring-rustfmt) file containing:
+
+```toml
+edition = "Edition2018"
+```
+
## Limitations
Rustfmt tries to work on as much Rust code as possible, sometimes, the code
## Installing from source
To install from source (nightly required), first checkout to the tag or branch you want to install, then issue
+
```
cargo install --path .
```
* When you run rustfmt, place a file named `rustfmt.toml` or `.rustfmt.toml` in
target file directory or its parents to override the default settings of
rustfmt. You can generate a file containing the default configuration with
- `rustfmt --dump-default-config rustfmt.toml` and customize as needed.
+ `rustfmt --print-config default rustfmt.toml` and customize as needed.
* After successful compilation, a `rustfmt` executable can be found in the
target directory.
* If you're having issues compiling Rustfmt (or compile errors when trying to
(Substitute `x86_64` by `i686` and `gnu` by `msvc` depending on which version of rustc was used to install rustfmt).
+* You can change the way rustfmt emits the changes with the --emit flag:
+
+ Example:
+
+ ```
+ cargo fmt --emit files
+ ```
+
+ Options:
+
+ | Flag |Description| Nightly Only |
+ |:---:|:---:|:---:|
+ | files | overwrites output to files | No |
+ | stdout | writes output to stdout | No |
+ | coverage | displays how much of the input file was processed | Yes |
+ | checkstyle | emits in a checkstyle format | Yes |
