# 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.

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

```toml
indent_style = "Block"
reorder_imported_names = true
```

Each configuration option is either stable or unstable.
Stable options can be used directly, while unstable options are opt-in.
To enable unstable options, set `unstable_features = true` in `rustfmt.toml` or pass `--unstable-options` to rustfmt.

# Configuration Options

Below you find a detailed visual guide on all the supported configuration options of rustfmt:


## `indent_style`

Indent on expressions or items.
