Unifying Fix and FormatSource Extensions
Status: Project
Main proponents: DannyHooper and Pierre-YvesDavid
Source formatting is great and a trending topic. There are multiples associated issues. The fix extensions deal with a subset of these issue and the format-source extensions deal with another subset (with some overlap).
We should have a single extension dealing with all issues.
1. Goal
There is three main issue with source formatting:
- Applying formatting in your working copy
- Applying formatting on content of existing draft changesets
- Applying formatting change during merge // minimizing conflict that are purely formatting.
fix deal with the first 2; Format source deal with the first and the last. We want an unified approache using common code, common config and common UX/UI.
