.editorconfig Generator

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

The .editorconfig generator generates a code-style rule file that is read by many editors and IDE's. Rules such as the type of indentation, the size of the indentation, the end of the row, and the new line at the end of the file keep the code format consistent even though the teams use different editors. This file is not a formatter, but the editor that supports it will apply the rules when writing or formatting code.

Key points

Root = true stops searching for configurations in the parent folder
Parts such as [*.js] apply to files that match the pattern
Indent_style can be space or tab, whereas indent_size sets the width.
End_of_line specifies LF or CRLF
Insert_final_newline ensures the file ends with a new line
