EditorConfig

This plugin implements the EditorConfig spec purely on lua by leveraging lua patterns and the regex engine on lite-xl. Installing additional dependencies is not required.

The EditorConfig spec was implemented as best understood, if you find any bugs please report them on this repository issue tracker.

Implemented Features

Global options:

• root - prevents upward searching of .editorconfig files

Applied to documents indent info:

• indent_style
• indent_size
• tab_width

Applied on document save:

• end_of_line - if set to cr it is ignored
• trim_trailing_whitespace
• insert_final_newline boolean

Not implemented

• charset - this feature would need the encoding PR or plugin

Extras

• Supports multiple project directories
• Implements hot reloading, so modifying an .editorconfig file from within the editor will re-apply all rules to currently opened files.

Testing

This plugin includes a test suite to check how well the .editorconfig parser is working.

The editorconfig-core-test glob, parser and properties cmake tests where ported and we are getting a 100% pass rate.

If you are interested in running the test suite, from the terminal execute the following:

lite-xl test editorconfig

To inspect the generated sections and regex rules:

lite-xl test editorconfig --parsers
