It is not configurable. It -doesn't take previous formatting into account. It doesn't reformat -blocks that start with `# fmt: off` and end with `# fmt: on`. It also -recognizes [YAPF](https://github.com/google/yapf)'s block comments to -the same effect, as a courtesy for straddling code. +- it does nothing if no sources are passed to it; +- it will read from standard input and write to standard output if `-` is used as the + filename; +- it only outputs messages to users on standard error; +- exits with code 0 unless an internal error occurred (or `--check` was used). +### Using _Black_ with other tools -### How *Black* wraps lines +While _Black_ enforces formatting that conforms to PEP 8, other tools may raise warnings +about _Black_'s changes or will overwrite _Black_'s changes. A good example of this is +[isort](https://pypi.org/p/isort). Since _Black_ is barely configurable, these tools +should be configured to neither warn about nor overwrite _Black_'s changes. -*Black* ignores previous formatting and applies uniform horizontal -and vertical whitespace to your code. The rules for horizontal -whitespace are pretty obvious and can be summarized as: do whatever -makes `pycodestyle` happy. The coding style used by *Black* can be -viewed as a strict subset of PEP 8. +Actual details on _Black_ compatible configurations for various tools can be found in +[compatible_configs](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/compatible_configs.md#black-compatible-configurations). -As for vertical whitespace, *Black* tries to render one full expression -or simple statement per line. If this fits the allotted line length, -great. -```py3 -# in: +### Migrating your code style without ruining git blame -l = [1, - 2, - 3, -] +A long-standing argument against moving to automated code formatters like _Black_ is +that the migration will clutter up the output of `git blame`. This was a valid argument, +but since Git version 2.23, Git natively supports +[ignoring revisions in blame](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame#Documentation/git-blame.txt---ignore-revltrevgt) +with the `--ignore-rev` option. You can also pass a file listing the revisions to ignore +using the `--ignore-revs-file` option. The changes made by the revision will be ignored +when assigning blame. Lines modified by an ignored revision will be blamed on the +previous revision that modified those lines. -# out: +So when migrating your project's code style to _Black_, reformat everything and commit +the changes (preferably in one massive commit). Then put the full 40 characters commit +identifier(s) into a file. -l = [1, 2, 3] ``` - -If not, *Black* will look at the contents of the first outer matching -brackets and put that in a separate indented line. -```py3 -# in: - -l = [[n for n in list_bosses()], [n for n in list_employees()]] - -# out: - -l = [ - [n for n in list_bosses()], [n for n in list_employees()] -] +# Migrate code style to Black +5b4ab991dede475d393e9d69ec388fd6bd949699 ``` -If that still doesn't fit the bill, it will decompose the internal -expression further using the same rule, indenting matching brackets -every time. If the contents of the matching brackets pair are -comma-separated (like an argument list, or a dict literal, and so on) -then *Black* will first try to keep them on the same line with the -matching brackets. If that doesn't work, it will put all of them in -separate lines. -```py3 -# in: - -def very_important_function(template: str, *variables, file: os.PathLike, debug: bool = False): - """Applies `variables` to the `template` and writes to `file`.""" - with open(file, 'w') as f: - ... - -# out: - -def very_important_function( - template: str, - *variables, - file: os.PathLike, - debug: bool = False, -): - """Applies `variables` to the `template` and writes to `file`.""" - with open(file, "w") as f: - ... -``` +Afterwards, you can pass that file to `git blame` and see clean and meaningful blame +information. -You might have noticed that closing brackets are always dedented and -that a trailing comma is always added. Such formatting produces smaller -diffs; when you add or remove an element, it's always just one line. -Also, having the closing bracket dedented provides a clear delimiter -between two distinct sections of the code that otherwise share the same -indentation level (like the arguments list and the docstring in the -example above). - - -### Line length - -You probably noticed the peculiar default line length. *Black* defaults -to 88 characters per line, which happens to be 10% over 80. This number -was found to produce significantly shorter files than sticking with 80 -(the most popular), or even 79 (used by the standard library). In -general, [90-ish seems like the wise choice](https://youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M?t=260). - -If you're paid by the line of code you write, you can pass -`--line-length` with a lower number. *Black* will try to respect that. -However, sometimes it won't be able to without breaking other rules. In -those rare cases, auto-formatted code will exceed your allotted limit. - -You can also increase it, but remember that people with sight disabilities -find it harder to work with line lengths exceeding 100 characters. -It also adversely affects side-by-side diff review on typical screen -resolutions. Long lines also make it harder to present code neatly -in documentation or talk slides. - -If you're using Flake8, you can bump `max-line-length` to 88 and forget -about it. Alternatively, use [Bugbear](https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8-bugbear)'s -B950 warning instead of E501 and keep the max line length at 80 which -you are probably already using. You'd do it like this: -```ini -[flake8] -max-line-length = 80 -... -select = C,E,F,W,B,B950 -ignore = E501 +```console +$ git blame important.py --ignore-revs-file .git-blame-ignore-revs +7a1ae265 (John Smith 2019-04-15 15:55:13 -0400 1) def very_important_function(text, file): +abdfd8b0 (Alice Doe 2019-09-23 11:39:32 -0400 2) text = text.lstrip() +7a1ae265 (John Smith 2019-04-15 15:55:13 -0400 3) with open(file, "r+") as f: +7a1ae265 (John Smith 2019-04-15 15:55:13 -0400 4) f.write(formatted) ``` -You'll find *Black*'s own .flake8 config file is configured like this. -If you're curious about the reasoning behind B950, Bugbear's documentation -explains it. The tl;dr is "it's like highway speed limits, we won't -bother you if you overdo it by a few km/h". - - -### Empty lines - -*Black* avoids spurious vertical whitespace. This is in the spirit of -PEP 8 which says that in-function vertical whitespace should only be -used sparingly. One exception is control flow statements: *Black* will -always emit an extra empty line after ``return``, ``raise``, ``break``, -``continue``, and ``yield``. This is to make changes in control flow -more prominent to readers of your code. - -*Black* will allow single empty lines inside functions, and single and -double empty lines on module level left by the original editors, except -when they're within parenthesized expressions. Since such expressions -are always reformatted to fit minimal space, this whitespace is lost. - -It will also insert proper spacing before and after function definitions. -It's one line before and after inner functions and two lines before and -after module-level functions. *Black* will put those empty lines also -between the function definition and any standalone comments that -immediately precede the given function. If you want to comment on the -entire function, use a docstring or put a leading comment in the function -body. - - -### Trailing commas - -*Black* will add trailing commas to expressions that are split -by comma where each element is on its own line. This includes function -signatures. - -Unnecessary trailing commas are removed if an expression fits in one -line. This makes it 1% more likely that your line won't exceed the -allotted line length limit. Moreover, in this scenario, if you added -another argument to your call, you'd probably fit it in the same line -anyway. That doesn't make diffs any larger. - -One exception to removing trailing commas is tuple expressions with -just one element. In this case *Black* won't touch the single trailing -comma as this would unexpectedly change the underlying data type. Note -that this is also the case when commas are used while indexing. This is -a tuple in disguise: ```numpy_array[3, ]```. - -One exception to adding trailing commas is function signatures -containing `*`, `*args`, or `**kwargs`. In this case a trailing comma -is only safe to use on Python 3.6. *Black* will detect if your file is -already 3.6+ only and use trailing commas in this situation. If you -wonder how it knows, it looks for f-strings and existing use of trailing -commas in function signatures that have stars in them. In other words, -if you'd like a trailing comma in this situation and *Black* didn't -recognize it was safe to do so, put it there manually and *Black* will -keep it. - -### Strings - -*Black* prefers double quotes (`"` and `"""`) over single quotes (`'` -and `'''`). It will replace the latter with the former as long as it -does not result in more backslash escapes than before. - -The main reason to standardize on a single form of quotes is aesthetics. -Having one kind of quotes everywhere reduces reader distraction. -It will also enable a future version of *Black* to merge consecutive -string literals that ended up on the same line (see -[#26](https://github.com/ambv/black/issues/26) for details). - -Why settle on double quotes? They anticipate apostrophes in English -text. They match the docstring standard described in PEP 257. An -empty string in double quotes (`""`) is impossible to confuse with -a one double-quote regardless of fonts and syntax highlighting used. -On top of this, double quotes for strings are consistent with C which -Python interacts a lot with. - -On certain keyboard layouts like US English, typing single quotes is -a bit easier than double quotes. The latter requires use of the Shift -key. My recommendation here is to keep using whatever is faster to type -and let *Black* handle the transformation. - - -## Editor integration - -### Emacs - -Use [proofit404/blacken](https://github.com/proofit404/blacken). - - -### Vim - -Commands and shortcuts: - -* `,=` or `:Black` to format the entire file (ranges not supported); -* `:BlackUpgrade` to upgrade *Black* inside the virtualenv; -* `:BlackVersion` to get the current version of *Black* inside the - virtualenv. +You can even configure `git` to automatically ignore revisions listed in a file on every +call to `git blame`. -Configuration: -* `g:black_fast` (defaults to `0`) -* `g:black_linelength` (defaults to `88`) -* `g:black_virtualenv` (defaults to `~/.vim/black`) +```console +$ git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs +``` -To install, copy the plugin from [vim/plugin/black.vim](https://github.com/ambv/black/tree/master/vim/plugin/black.vim). -Let me know if this requires any changes to work with Vim 8's builtin -`packadd`, or Pathogen, or Vundle, and so on. +**The one caveat is that GitHub and GitLab do not yet support ignoring revisions using +their native UI of blame.** So blame information will be cluttered with a reformatting +commit on those platforms.

It -needs Python 3.6 to be able to run *Black* inside the Vim process which -is much faster than calling an external command. +### NOTE: This is a beta product -On first run, the plugin creates its own virtualenv using the right -Python version and automatically installs *Black*. You can upgrade it later -by calling `:BlackUpgrade` and restarting Vim. +_Black_ is already [successfully used](https://github.com/psf/black#used-by) by many +projects, small and big.

This is made explicit by the "Beta" +trove classifier, as well as by the "b" in the version number. What this means for you +is that **until the formatter becomes stable, you should expect some formatting to +change in the future**. That being said, no drastic stylistic changes are planned, +mostly responses to bug reports. -If you need to do anything special to make your virtualenv work and -install *Black* (for example you want to run a version from master), just -create a virtualenv manually and point `g:black_virtualenv` to it. -The plugin will use it. +Also, as a temporary safety measure, _Black_ will check that the reformatted code still +produces a valid AST that is equivalent to the original.

There's many guides online how -to do this. +## The _Black_ code style +_Black_ is a PEP 8 compliant opinionated formatter. _Black_ reformats entire files in +place. It is not configurable. It doesn't take previous formatting into account. Your +main option of configuring _Black_ is that it doesn't reformat blocks that start with +`# fmt: off` and end with `# fmt: on`, or lines that ends with `# fmt: skip`.

What seems like a bug might be intended behaviour. -Atom/Nuclide integration is planned by the author, others will -require external contributions. +## pyproject.toml -Patches welcome! ⨠ð° ⨠+_Black_ is able to read project-specific default values for its command line options +from a `pyproject.toml` file. This is especially useful for specifying custom +`--include` and `--exclude`/`--extend-exclude` patterns for your project. -Any tool that can pipe code through *Black* using its stdio mode (just -[use `-` as the file name](http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/special-chars.html#DASHREF2)). -The formatted code will be returned on stdout (unless `--check` was -passed). *Black* will still emit messages on stderr but that shouldn't -affect your use case. +**Pro-tip**: If you're asking yourself "Do I need to configure anything?" the answer is +"No". _Black_ is all about sensible defaults. -This can be used for example with PyCharm's [File Watchers](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/file-watchers.html). +### What on Earth is a `pyproject.toml` file? +[PEP 518](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/) defines `pyproject.toml` as a +configuration file to store build system requirements for Python projects. With the help +of tools like [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) or +[Flit](https://flit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) it can fully replace the need for +`setup.py` and `setup.cfg` files. -## Testimonials +### Where _Black_ looks for the file -**Dusty Phillips**, [writer](https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=dusty+phillips): +By default _Black_ looks for `pyproject.toml` starting from the common base directory of +all files and directories passed on the command line. If it's not there, it looks in +parent directories. It stops looking when it finds the file, or a `.git` directory, or a +`.hg` directory, or the root of the file system, whichever comes first. -> Black is opinionated so you don't have to be. +If you're formatting standard input, _Black_ will look for configuration starting from +the current working directory. -**Hynek Schlawack**, [creator of `attrs`](http://www.attrs.org/), core -developer of Twisted and CPython: +You can use a "global" configuration, stored in a specific location in your home +directory. This will be used as a fallback configuration, that is, it will be used if +and only if _Black_ doesn't find any configuration as mentioned above. Depending on your +operating system, this configuration file should be stored as: -> An auto-formatter that doesn't suck is all I want for Xmas! +- Windows: `~\.black` +- Unix-like (Linux, MacOS, etc.): `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/black` (`~/.config/black` if the + `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` environment variable is not set) -**Carl Meyer**, [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) core developer: +Note that these are paths to the TOML file itself (meaning that they shouldn't be named +as `pyproject.toml`), not directories where you store the configuration. Here, `~` +refers to the path to your home directory. On Windows, this will be something like +`C:\\Users\UserName`. -> At least the name is good. +You can also explicitly specify the path to a particular file that you want with +`--config`. In this situation _Black_ will not look for any other file. -**Kenneth Reitz**, creator of [`requests`](http://python-requests.org/) -and [`pipenv`](https://docs.pipenv.org/): +If you're running with `--verbose`, you will see a blue message if a file was found and +used. -> This vastly improves the formatting of our code. Thanks a ton! +Please note `blackd` will not use `pyproject.toml` configuration. +### Configuration format -## Show your style +As the file extension suggests, `pyproject.toml` is a +[TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) file. It contains separate sections for +different tools. _Black_ is using the `[tool.black]` section. The option keys are the +same as long names of options on the command line. + +Note that you have to use single-quoted strings in TOML for regular expressions. It's +the equivalent of r-strings in Python. Multiline strings are treated as verbose regular +expressions by Black.
