<!-- END_SECTION:verify-command-help -->
### GitHub Action
There are a lot of different ways to run `mdsf` using GitHub actions.
The easiest way, in my opinion, is to use the official GitHub action to install mdsf.
After that you can run the binary like you would in your terminal.
> \[!NOTE\]
> mdsf is not a package manager.
>
> You must also install the tools you wish to use in your GitHub action.
```yaml
name: mdsf
on: push
jobs:
format:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Install mdsf
uses: hougesen/mdsf@main
- name: Run mdsf
run: mdsf format --log-level warn .
- name: Commit changes
uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@v9
with:
message: "style: formatted markdown code blocks"
```
### Visual Studio Code
[](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=hougesen.mdsf)
[](https://open-vsx.org/extension/hougesen/mdsf)
mdsf can be run using the VSCode extension.
> \[!NOTE\]
> The mdsf VS Code extension does currently not support installing mdsf.
> Which means mdsf must be installed using other means.
### Vim / NeoVim
#### conform.nvim
[conform.nvim](https://github.com/stevearc/conform.nvim) has native support for running mdsf.
```lua
local conform = require("conform")
conform.setup({
formatters_by_ft = {
markdown = { "mdsf" },
-- ...
},
-- ...
})
```
### treefmt
Add the following to your `treefmt.toml` to run mdsf using [treefmt](https://github.com/numtide/treefmt).
```toml
# treefmt.toml
[formatter.mdsf]
command = "mdsf"
options = ["format"]
includes = ["*.md"]
```
## Configuration
The default configuration of `mdsf` aims to as simple as possible. For that reason the default formatter for each language is the one most people have installed.
If you are interested in customizing which formatter is run, you can create a new `mdsf` configuration file by running `mdsf init`.
<!-- START_SECTION:init-command-help -->
```
Create a new mdsf config
Usage: mdsf init [OPTIONS]
Options:
--force Create config even if one already exists in current directory
--log-level <LOG_LEVEL> [possible values: trace, debug, info, warn, error, off]
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
```
<!-- END_SECTION:init-command-help -->
`mdsf` supports running multiple formatters on the save code snippet.
```json
{
"languages": {
// Only run `ruff` on Python snippets,
"python": "ruff:format",
// Run `usort` on file and then `black`
"python": ["usort", "black"],
// Run `usort`, if that fails run `isort`, finally run `black`
"python": [["usort", "isort"], "black"],
// Formatters listed under "*" will be run on any snippet.
"*": ["typos"],
// Formatters listed under "_" will only be run when there is not formatter configured for the file type OR globally ("*").
"_": "prettier"
}
}
```
### Language aliases
Multiple languages can easily be mapped to the same tools using the `language_aliases` option.
```json
{
"language_aliases": {
"language": "is_alias_of"
}
}
```
In the example below `bash` and `zsh` would use the tools defined under `languages.shell`.
```json
{
"languages": {
"shell": "shfmt"
},
"language_aliases": {
"bash": "shell",
"zsh": "shell"
}
}
```
### Newlines
By default LF (`\n`) is used for newlines.
That can be changed by specifying the `newline` config option.
```json
{
"newline": "lf" // "lf" | "cr" | "crlf"
}
```
### Tools
> \[!NOTE\]
> mdsf is not a package manager.
>
> Only tools that are already installed will be used.
