Code formatting in Inko

This repository showcases a basic code formatter written in Inko, based on Inko’s own code formatting implementation, which in turn is based on Prettier, which in turn is based on the paper “A prettier printer” by Philip Wadler.

The implementation is well documented, and prior knowledge of Inko shouldn’t be needed.

Requirements

• Inko 0.19.1 or newer

Usage

Using Inko 0.19.1 or newer, run the program like so, where WIDTH is the desired line width:

inko run src/main.inko WIDTH

If you don’t have or don’t want to install Inko, you can also use Docker/Podman:

# When using Docker:
docker run --rm --volume ./src:/src:z ghcr.io/inko-lang/inko:latest inko run /src/main.inko WIDTH

# When using Podman:
podman run --rm --volume ./src:/src:z ghcr.io/inko-lang/inko:latest inko run /src/main.inko WIDTH

The output should be something along the lines of the following:

The vertical grey line indicates the line limit.
