This is especially useful for specifying custom +`--include` and `--exclude`/`--force-exclude`/`--extend-exclude` patterns for your +project. + +**Pro-tip**: If you're asking yourself "Do I need to configure anything?" the answer is +"No". _Black_ is all about sensible defaults. + +## 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. + +## Where _Black_ looks for the file + +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. + +If you're formatting standard input, _Black_ will look for configuration starting from +the current working directory. + +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: + +- Windows: `~\.black` +- Unix-like (Linux, MacOS, etc.): `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/black` (`~/.config/black` if the + `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` environment variable is not set) + +Note that these are paths to the TOML file itself (meaning that they shouldn't be named +as `pyproject.toml`), not directories where you store the configuration. Here, `~` +refers to the path to your home directory. On Windows, this will be something like +`C:\\Users\UserName`. + +You can also explicitly specify the path to a particular file that you want with +`--config`. In this situation _Black_ will not look for any other file. + +If you're running with `--verbose`, you will see a blue message if a file was found and +used. + +Files listed within a projects `.gitignore` file will not be formatted by _Black_. + +Please note `blackd` will not use `pyproject.toml` configuration. + +## Configuration format + +As the file extension suggests, `pyproject.toml` is a +[TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) file. It contains separate sections for +different tools. _Black_ is using the `[tool.black]` section. The option keys are the +same as long names of options on the command line. + +Note that you have to use single-quoted strings in TOML for regular expressions. It's +the equivalent of r-strings in Python. Multiline strings are treated as verbose regular +expressions by Black. Use `[ ]` to denote a significant space character. + +
+Example pyproject.toml + +```toml +[tool.black] +line-length = 88 +target-version = ['py37'] +include = '\.pyi?$' +extend-exclude = ''' +# A regex preceded with ^/ will apply only to files and directories +# in the root of the project. +^/foo.py # exclude a file named foo.py in the root of the project (in addition to the defaults) +''' +``` + +
+ +## Lookup hierarchy + +Command-line options have defaults that you can see in `--help`. A `pyproject.toml` can +override those defaults. Finally, options provided by the user on the command line +override both. + +_Black_ will only ever use one `pyproject.toml` file during an entire run. It doesn't +look for multiple files, and doesn't compose configuration from different levels of the +file hierarchy.
