rust/Configurations.md

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 (e.g. .config/rustfmt/) are checked as well.

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

indent_style = "Block"
reorder_imports = false

Each configuration option is either stable or unstable. Stable options can always be used, while unstable options are only available on a nightly toolchain and must be opted into. 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:

array_width

Maximum width of an array literal before falling back to vertical formatting.

• Default value: 60
• Possible values: any positive integer that is less than or equal to the value specified for max_width
• Stable: Yes

By default this option is set as a percentage of max_width provided by use_small_heuristics, but a value set directly for array_width will take precedence.

See also max_width and use_small_heuristics

attr_fn_like_width

Maximum width of the args of a function-like attributes before falling back to vertical formatting.

• Default value: 70
• Possible values: any positive integer that is less than or equal to the value specified for max_width
• Stable: Yes

By default this option is set as a percentage of max_width provided by use_small_heuristics, but a value set directly for attr_fn_like_width will take precedence.

See also max_width and use_small_heuristics

binop_separator

Where to put a binary operator when a binary expression goes multiline.

• Default value: "Front"
• Possible values: "Front", "Back"
• Stable: No (tracking issue: #3368)

"Front" (default):

fn main() {
    let or = foofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoo
        || barbarbarbarbarbarbarbarbarbarbarbarbarbarbarbar;

    let sum = 123456789012345678901234567890
        + 123456789012345678901234567890
        + 123456789012345678901234567890;

    let range = aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
        ..bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb;
}

"Back":

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):

#![rustfmt::skip]

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

1

fn foo() {

    println!("a");
}

fn bar() {

    println!("b");

    println!("c");
}

blank_lines_upper_bound

Maximum number of blank lines which can be put between items. If more than this number of consecutive empty lines are found, they are trimmed down to match this integer.

• Default value: 1
• Possible values: any non-negative integer
• Stable: No (tracking issue: #3381)

Example

Original Code:

#![rustfmt::skip]

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



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


    println!("c");
}

1 (default):

fn foo() {

• Stable: Yes

edition

Specifies which edition is used by the parser.

• Default value: "2015"
• Possible values: "2015", "2018", "2021"

See also brace_style, control_brace_style.

enum_discrim_align_threshold

The maximum length of enum variant having discriminant, that gets vertically aligned with others. Variants without discriminants would be ignored for the purpose of alignment.

Note that this is not how much whitespace is inserted, but instead the longest variant name that doesn't get ignored when aligning.

• Default value : 0
• Possible values: any positive integer
• Stable: No (tracking issue: #3372)

0 (default):

enum Foo {
    A = 0,
    Bb = 1,
    RandomLongVariantGoesHere = 10,
    Ccc = 71,
}

enum Bar {
    VeryLongVariantNameHereA = 0,
    VeryLongVariantNameHereBb = 1,
    VeryLongVariantNameHereCcc = 2,
}

20:

enum Foo {
    A   = 0,
    Bb  = 1,
    RandomLongVariantGoesHere = 10,

}

enum Bar {
    VeryLongVariantNameHereA = 0,
    VeryLongVariantNameHereBb = 1,
    VeryLongVariantNameHereCcc = 2,
}

error_on_line_overflow

Error if Rustfmt is unable to get all lines within max_width, except for comments and string literals. If this happens, then it is a bug in Rustfmt. You might be able to work around the bug by refactoring your code to avoid long/complex expressions, usually by extracting a local variable or using a shorter name.

• Default value: false
• Possible values: true, false
• Stable: No (tracking issue: #3391)

skip_macro_invocations

Skip formatting the bodies of macro invocations with the following names.

rustfmt will not format any macro invocation for macros with names set in this list. Including the special value "*" will prevent any macro invocations from being formatted.

Note: This option does not have any impact on how rustfmt formats macro definitions.

• Default value: []
• Possible values: a list of macro name idents, ["name_0", "name_1", ..., "*"]
• Stable: No (tracking issue: #5346)

[] (default):

rustfmt will follow its standard approach to formatting macro invocations.

No macro invocations will be skipped based on their name. More information about rustfmt's standard macro invocation formatting behavior can be found in #5437.

lorem!(
    const _: u8 = 0;
);

ipsum!(
    const _: u8 = 0;
);

["lorem"]:

The named macro invocations will be skipped.

lorem!(
        const _: u8 = 0;
);

ipsum!(
    const _: u8 = 0;
);

["*"]:

The special selector * will skip all macro invocations.

lorem!(
        const _: u8 = 0;
);

ipsum!(
        const _: u8 = 0;
);

format_strings

Format string literals where necessary

• Default value: false
• Possible values: true, false
• Stable: No (tracking issue: #3353)

false (default):

fn main() {
    let lorem = "ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing";
}

true:

fn main() {
    let lorem = "ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit lorem ipsum dolor sit amet \
                 consectetur adipiscing";
}

See also max_width.

hard_tabs

Use tab characters for indentation, spaces for alignment

• Default value: false
• Possible values: true, false
• Stable: Yes

false (default):

fn lorem() -> usize {
    42 // spaces before 42
}

true:

fn lorem() -> usize {
	42 // tabs before 42
}

See also: tab_spaces.

hex_literal_case

Control the case of the letters in hexadecimal literal values

• Default value: Preserve
• Possible values: Preserve, Upper, Lower
• Stable: No (tracking issue: #5081)

hide_parse_errors

This option is deprecated and has been renamed to show_parse_errors to avoid confusion around the double negative default of hide_parse_errors=false.

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

show_parse_errors

Show parse errors if the parser failed to parse files.

• Default value: true
• Possible values: true, false
• Stable: No (tracking issue: #5977)

ignore

Skip formatting files and directories that match the specified pattern. The pattern format is the same as .gitignore. Be sure to use Unix/forwardslash / style paths. This path style will work on all platforms. Windows style paths with backslashes \ are not supported.

• 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:

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

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

ignore = [
    "examples",
]

If you want to ignore every file under the directory where you put your rustfmt.toml:

ignore = ["/"]

If you want to allow specific paths that would otherwise be ignored, prefix those paths with a !:

ignore = ["bar_dir/*", "!bar_dir/*/what.rs"]

In this case, all files under bar_dir will be ignored, except files like bar_dir/sub/what.rs or bar_dir/another/what.rs.

match_arm_blocks

Controls whether arm bodies are wrapped in cases where the first line of the body cannot fit on the same line as the => operator.

The Style Guide requires that bodies are block wrapped by default if a line break is required after the =>, but this option can be used to disable that behavior to prevent wrapping arm bodies in that event, so long as the body contains neither multiple statements nor line comments.

//     match foo {
//         "foo" | "bar" => {}
//         "baz"
//         | "something relatively long"

imports_granularity

Controls how imports are structured in use statements. Imports will be merged or split to the configured level of granularity.

Similar to other import related configuration options, this option operates within the bounds of user-defined groups of imports. See group_imports for more information on import groups.

Note that rustfmt will not modify the granularity of imports containing comments if doing so could potentially lose or misplace said comments.

• Default value: Preserve
• Possible values: Preserve, Crate, Module, Item, One
• Stable: No (tracking issue: #4991)

Preserve (default):

Do not change the granularity of any imports and preserve the original structure written by the developer.

use foo::b;
use foo::b::{f, g};
use foo::{a, c, d::e};
use qux::{h, i};

Crate:

Merge imports from the same crate into a single use statement. Conversely, imports from different crates are split into separate statements.

use foo::{
    a, b,
    b::{f, g},
    c,
    d::e,
};
use qux::{h, i};

Module:

Merge imports from the same module into a single use statement. Conversely, imports from different modules are split into separate statements.

use foo::b::{f, g};
use foo::d::e;
use foo::{a, b, c};
use qux::{h, i};

Item:

Flatten imports so that each has its own use statement.

use foo::a;
use foo::b;
use foo::b::f;
use foo::b::g;
use foo::c;
use foo::d::e;
use qux::h;
use qux::i;

use {
    bar::{
        a,
        b::{self, f, g},
        c,
        d::e,
    },
    qux::{h, i},
};

merge_imports

group_imports

Controls the strategy for how consecutive imports are grouped together.

Controls the strategy for grouping sets of consecutive imports. Imports may contain newlines between imports and still be grouped together as a single set, but other statements between imports will result in different grouping sets.

• Default value: Preserve
• Possible values: Preserve, StdExternalCrate, One

reorder_modules

Reorder mod declarations alphabetically in group.

• Default value: true
• Possible values: true, false
• Stable: Yes

true (default)

mod a;
mod b;

mod dolor;
mod ipsum;
mod lorem;
mod sit;

false

mod b;
mod a;

mod lorem;
mod ipsum;
mod dolor;
mod sit;

Note mod with #[macro_export] will not be reordered since that could change the semantics of the original source code.

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)

short_array_element_width_threshold

The width threshold for an array element to be considered "short".

The layout of an array is dependent on the length of each of its elements. If the length of every element in an array is below this threshold (all elements are "short") then the array can be formatted in the mixed/compressed style, but if any one element has a length that exceeds this threshold then the array elements will have to be formatted vertically.

• Default value: 10
• Possible values: any positive integer that is less than or equal to the value specified for max_width
• Stable: Yes

10 (default):

fn main() {
    pub const FORMAT_TEST: [u64; 5] = [
        0x0000000000000000,
        0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
        0xbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb,
        0xcccccccccccccccc,
        0xdddddddddddddddd,
    ];
}

20:

fn main() {
    pub const FORMAT_TEST: [u64; 5] = [
        0x0000000000000000, 0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, 0xbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb, 0xcccccccccccccccc,
        0xdddddddddddddddd,
    ];
}

skip_children

Don't reformat out of line modules

• Default value: false
• Possible values: true, false
• Stable: No (tracking issue: #3389)

single_line_if_else_max_width

Maximum line length for single line if-else expressions. A value of 0 (zero) results in if-else expressions always being broken into multiple lines. Note this occurs when use_small_heuristics is set to Off.

• Default value: 50
• Possible values: any positive integer that is less than or equal to the value specified for max_width
• Stable: Yes

By default this option is set as a percentage of max_width provided by use_small_heuristics, but a value set directly for single_line_if_else_max_width will take precedence.

See also max_width and use_small_heuristics

single_line_let_else_max_width

Maximum line length for single line let-else statements. See the let-else statement section of the Rust Style Guide for more details on when a let-else statement may be written on a single line. A value of 0 (zero) means the divergent else block will always be formatted over multiple lines. Note this occurs when use_small_heuristics is set to Off.

By default this option is set as a percentage of max_width provided by use_small_heuristics, but a value set directly for single_line_let_else_max_width will take precedence.

• Default value: 50
• Possible values: any positive integer that is less than or equal to the value specified for max_width

use_small_heuristics

This option can be used to simplify the management and bulk updates of the granular width configuration settings (fn_call_width, attr_fn_like_width, struct_lit_width, struct_variant_width, array_width, chain_width, single_line_if_else_max_width), that respectively control when formatted constructs are multi-lined/vertical based on width.

Note that explicitly provided values for the width configuration settings take precedence and override the calculated values determined by use_small_heuristics.

• Default value: "Default"
• Possible values: "Default", "Off", "Max"
• Stable: Yes

Default (default):

When use_small_heuristics is set to Default, the values for the granular width settings are calculated as a ratio of the value for max_width.

The ratios are:

• fn_call_width - 60%
• attr_fn_like_width - 70%
• struct_lit_width - 18%
• struct_variant_width - 35%
• array_width - 60%
• chain_width - 60%
• single_line_if_else_max_width - 50%
• single_line_let_else_max_width - 50%

For example when max_width is set to 100, the width settings are:

• fn_call_width=60
• attr_fn_like_width=70
• struct_lit_width=18
• struct_variant_width=35
• array_width=60
• chain_width=60
• single_line_if_else_max_width=50
• single_line_let_else_max_width=50

and when max_width is set to 200:

• fn_call_width=120
• attr_fn_like_width=140
• struct_lit_width=36
• struct_variant_width=70
• array_width=120
• chain_width=120
• single_line_if_else_max_width=100
• single_line_let_else_max_width=100

enum Lorem {
    Ipsum,
    Dolor(bool),
    Sit { amet: Consectetur, adipiscing: Elit },
}

fn main() {
    lorem(
        "lorem",
        "ipsum",
        "dolor",
        "sit",
        "amet",
        "consectetur",
        "adipiscing",
    );

    let lorem = Lorem {
        ipsum: dolor,
        sit: amet,
    };
    let lorem = Lorem { ipsum: dolor };

    let lorem = if ipsum { dolor } else { sit };
}

Off:

When use_small_heuristics is set to Off, the granular width settings are functionally disabled and ignored. See the documentation for the respective width config options for specifics.

enum Lorem {
    Ipsum,
    Dolor(bool),
    Sit {
        amet: Consectetur,
        adipiscing: Elit,
    },
}

fn main() {
    lorem("lorem", "ipsum", "dolor", "sit", "amet", "consectetur", "adipiscing");

    let lorem = Lorem {
        ipsum: dolor,
        sit: amet,
    };

    let lorem = if ipsum {
        dolor
    } else {
        sit
    };
}

Max:

When use_small_heuristics is set to Max, then each granular width setting is set to the same value as max_width.

So if max_width is set to 200, then all the width settings are also set to 200.

• fn_call_width=200
• attr_fn_like_width=200
• struct_lit_width=200
• struct_variant_width=200
• array_width=200
• chain_width=200
• single_line_if_else_max_width=200
• single_line_let_else_max_width=200

enum Lorem {
    Ipsum,
    Dolor(bool),
    Sit { amet: Consectetur, adipiscing: Elit },
}

fn main() {
    lorem("lorem", "ipsum", "dolor", "sit", "amet", "consectetur", "adipiscing");

    let lorem = Lorem { ipsum: dolor, sit: amet };

    let lorem = if ipsum { dolor } else { sit };
}

}

true:

fn main() {
    let lorem = ipsum.map(|dolor| dolor.sit())?;
}

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

version = "Two"

where_single_line

Forces the where clause to be laid out on a single line.

• Default value: false
• Possible values: true, false
• Stable: No (tracking issue: #3359)

false (default):
