Formatter¶
Custom formatter for flake8
violations.
Tries to be beautiful, compact, and informative.
Improves the default formatter used by flake8
.
Usage
To activate this formatter one will need to run:
flake8 --format=wemake your_module.py
Or set the configuration option inside setup.cfg
file:
[flake8]
format = wemake
Option format = wemake
is included into our default configuration.
To switch back to the default flake8
formatter,
you can use format = default
option.
There are other formatters out there as well. They can be installed as plugins.
Showing source code
You can also (and we recommend to) enable --show-source
option.
It can be passed as a command line argument or set in setup.cfg
:
[flake8]
show-source = True
It will change how your reports are formatted, and will show the exact problem with your code:
» flake8 . --format=wemake --show-source
./wemake_python_styleguide/formatter.py
E231 120:32 missing whitespace after ':'
def show_source(self, error:Violation) -> str:
^
It helps to visually identify the problems in your code and fix it faster.
We include show-source = True
into our default configuration.
Showing statistic
You can also show the statistics about problems inside your code.
It will group all violations by type and tell how many of them do you have and where you have them:
» flake8 . --format=wemake --show-source --statistic
./wemake_python_styleguide/formatter.py
E231 136:32 missing whitespace after ':'
def show_source(self, error:Violation) -> str:
^
./wemake_python_styleguide/types.py
E231 52:47 missing whitespace after ','
AnyFunctionDefAndLambda = Union[AnyFunctionDef,ast.Lambda]
^
E231: missing whitespace after ':'
1 ./wemake_python_styleguide/formatter.py
1 ./wemake_python_styleguide/types.py
Total: 2
All errors: 2
We do not include show-statistic
in our default configuration.
It should be only called when user needs to find how many violations
there are and what files do contain them.
