# kdlfmt

A formatter for [kdl](https://kdl.dev) documents.

kdlfmt is a thin cli wrapper built on-top of the official `kdl` parser for Rust ([`kdl-rs`](https://github.com/kdl-org/kdl-rs)), so any formatting/parsing issues should be reported there.

### Ignoring files

`.kdlfmtignore` files are used to ignore files/directories.

It uses the same syntax as `.gitignore` files.

### Configuration

```kdl
// Amount of spaces to use for each indentation level
indent_size 4
// Whether to use tabs or spaces for indentation
use_tabs #false
```

### GitHub Action

There are a lot of different ways to run `kdlfmt` using GitHub actions.

The easiest way, in my opinion, is to use the official GitHub action to install `kdlfmt`.

After that you can run the binary like you would in your terminal.

```yaml

    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Install kdlfmt
        uses: hougesen/kdlfmt@main

      - name: Run kdlfmt format
        run: kdlfmt format .

      - name: Commit changes
        uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@v9
        with:
          message: "style: formatted kdl"
```
