The main benefit of using it is to avoid paying the +cost of starting up a new *Black* process every time you want to blacken +a file. + +### Usage + +`blackd` is not packaged alongside *Black* by default because it has additional +dependencies. You will need to do `pip install black[d]` to install it. + +You can start the server on the default port, binding only to the local interface +by running `blackd`. You will see a single line mentioning the server's version, +and the host and port it's listening on. `blackd` will then print an access log +similar to most web servers on standard output, merged with any exception traces +caused by invalid formatting requests. + +`blackd` provides even less options than *Black*. You can see them by running +`blackd --help`: + +```text +Usage: blackd [OPTIONS] + +Options: + --bind-host TEXT Address to bind the server to. + --bind-port INTEGER Port to listen on + --version Show the version and exit. + -h, --help Show this message and exit. +``` + +### Protocol + +`blackd` only accepts `POST` requests at the `/` path. The body of the request +should contain the python source code to be formatted, encoded +according to the `charset` field in the `Content-Type` request header. If no +`charset` is specified, `blackd` assumes `UTF-8`. + +There are a few HTTP headers that control how the source is formatted. These +correspond to command line flags for *Black*. There is one exception to this: +`X-Protocol-Version` which if present, should have the value `1`, otherwise the +request is rejected with `HTTP 501` (Not Implemented). + +The headers controlling how code is formatted are: + + - `X-Line-Length`: corresponds to the `--line-length` command line flag. + - `X-Skip-String-Normalization`: corresponds to the `--skip-string-normalization` + command line flag. If present and its value is not the empty string, no string + normalization will be performed. + - `X-Fast-Or-Safe`: if set to `fast`, `blackd` will act as *Black* does when + passed the `--fast` command line flag. + - `X-Python-Variant`: if set to `pyi`, `blackd` will act as *Black* does when + passed the `--pyi` command line flag. Otherwise, its value must correspond to + a Python version. If this value represents at least Python 3.6, `blackd` will + act as *Black* does when passed the `--py36` command line flag. + +If any of these headers are set to invalid values, `blackd` returns a `HTTP 400` +error response, mentioning the name of the problematic header in the message body. + +Apart from the above, `blackd` can produce the following response codes: + + - `HTTP 204`: If the input is already well-formatted. The response body is + empty. + - `HTTP 200`: If formatting was needed on the input. The response body + contains the blackened Python code, and the `Content-Type` header is set + accordingly. + - `HTTP 400`: If the input contains a syntax error. Details of the error are + returned in the response body. + - `HTTP 500`: If there was any kind of error while trying to format the input. + The response body contains a textual representation of the error. ## Version control integration @@ -771,9 +850,12 @@ location of the file depends on the *Black* version and the system on which *Bla is run.
