When you do, _Black_ will know to always explode your collection +into one item per line. + +How do you make it stop? Just delete that trailing comma and _Black_ will collapse your +collection into one line if it fits. + +### r"strings" and R"strings" + +_Black_ normalizes string quotes as well as string prefixes, making them lowercase. One +exception to this rule is r-strings. It turns out that the very popular +[MagicPython](https://github.com/MagicStack/MagicPython/) syntax highlighter, used by +default by (among others) GitHub and Visual Studio Code, differentiates between +r-strings and R-strings. The former are syntax highlighted as regular expressions while +the latter are treated as true raw strings with no special semantics. + +## pyproject.toml + +_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` 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://poetry.eustace.io/) 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 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. + +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. + +<details> +<summary>Example `pyproject.toml`</summary> + +```toml +[tool.black] +line-length = 88 +target-version = ['py37'] +include = '\.pyi?$' +exclude = ''' + +( + /( + \.eggs # exclude a few common directories in the + | \.git # root of the project + | \.hg + | \.mypy_cache + | \.tox + | \.venv + | _build + | buck-out + | build + | dist + )/ + | foo.py # also separately exclude a file named foo.py in + # the root of the project +) +''' ``` -Plugin 'ambv/black' -``` - -or you can copy the plugin from [plugin/black.vim](https://github.com/ambv/black/tree/master/plugin/black.vim). -Let me know if this requires any changes to work with Vim 8's builtin -`packadd`, or Pathogen, and so on. - -This plugin **requires Vim 7.0+ built with Python 3.6+ support**.

You can see them by running +`blackd --help`: -* when CTRL+C is pressed while formatting many files, Black no longer - freaks out with a flurry of asyncio-related exceptions +```text +Usage: blackd [OPTIONS] -* only allow up to two empty lines on module level and only single empty - lines within functions (#74) +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. +``` +There is no official blackd client tool (yet!). You can test that blackd is working +using `curl`: -### 18.3a4 +``` +blackd --bind-port 9090 & # or let blackd choose a port +curl -s -XPOST "localhost:9090" -d "print('valid')" +``` -* `# fmt: off` and `# fmt: on` are implemented (#5) +### 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 or + a set of comma-separated Python versions, optionally prefixed with `py`. For example, + to request code that is compatible with Python 3.5 and 3.6, set the header to + `py3.5,py3.6`. +- `X-Diff`: corresponds to the `--diff` command line flag. If present, a diff of the + formats will be output. + +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. + +The response headers include a `X-Black-Version` header containing the version of +_Black_. -* automatic detection of deprecated Python 2 forms of print statements - and exec statements in the formatted file (#49) +## Version control integration -* use proper spaces for complex expressions in default values of typed - function arguments (#60) +Use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/). Once you +[have it installed](https://pre-commit.com/#install), add this to the +`.pre-commit-config.yaml` in your repository: -* only return exit code 1 when --check is used (#50) +```yaml +repos: + - repo: https://github.com/psf/black + rev: stable + hooks: + - id: black + language_version: python3.6 +``` -* don't remove single trailing commas from square bracket indexing - (#59) +Then run `pre-commit install` and you're ready to go. -* don't omit whitespace if the previous factor leaf wasn't a math - operator (#55) +Avoid using `args` in the hook. Instead, store necessary configuration in +`pyproject.toml` so that editors and command-line usage of Black all behave consistently +for your project. See _Black_'s own +[pyproject.toml](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/pyproject.toml) for an +example. -* omit extra space in kwarg unpacking if it's the first argument (#46) +If you're already using Python 3.7, switch the `language_version` accordingly. Finally, +`stable` is a tag that is pinned to the latest release on PyPI. If you'd rather run on +master, this is also an option. -* omit extra space in [Sphinx auto-attribute comments](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/ext/autodoc.html#directive-autoattribute) - (#68) +## Ignoring unmodified files +_Black_ remembers files it has already formatted, unless the `--diff` flag is used or +code is passed via standard input. This information is stored per-user. The exact +location of the file depends on the _Black_ version and the system on which _Black_ is +run. The file is non-portable. The standard location on common operating systems is: -### 18.3a3 +- Windows: + `C:\\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\black\black\Cache\<version>\cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle` +- macOS: + `/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle` +- Linux: + `/home/<username>/.cache/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle` -* don't remove single empty lines outside of bracketed expressions - (#19) +`file-mode` is an int flag that determines whether the file was formatted as 3.6+ only, +as .pyi, and whether string normalization was omitted. -* added ability to pipe formatting from stdin to stdin (#25) +To override the location of these files on macOS or Linux, set the environment variable +`XDG_CACHE_HOME` to your preferred location. For example, if you want to put the cache +in the directory you're running _Black_ from, set `XDG_CACHE_HOME=.cache`. _Black_ will +then write the above files to `.cache/black/<version>/`. -* restored ability to format code with legacy usage of `async` as - a name (#20, #42) +## Used by -* even better handling of numpy-style array indexing (#33, again) +The following notable open-source projects trust _Black_ with enforcing a consistent +code style: pytest, tox, Pyramid, Django Channels, Hypothesis, attrs, SQLAlchemy, +Poetry, PyPA applications (Warehouse, Pipenv, virtualenv), pandas, Pillow, every Datadog +Agent Integration, Home Assistant. +Are we missing anyone?

If it enables better integration with +some workflow, fixes an inconsistency, speeds things up, and so on - go for it! On the +other hand, if your answer is "because I don't like a particular formatting" then you're +not ready to embrace _Black_ yet. Such changes are unlikely to get accepted.
