# fprettify

fprettify is an auto-formatter for modern Fortran code that imposes strict whitespace formatting, written in Python.
**NOTE:** I'm looking for help to maintain this repository, see [#127](https://github.com/pseewald/fprettify/issues/127).
## Features
- Auto-indentation.
- Line continuations are aligned with the previous opening delimiter `(`, `[` or `(/` or with an assignment operator `=` or `=>`. If none of the above is present, a default hanging indent is applied.
- Consistent amount of whitespace around operators and delimiters.
- Removal of extraneous whitespace and consecutive blank lines.
- Change letter case (upper case / lower case conventions) of intrinsics
- Tested for editor integration.
- By default, fprettify causes whitespace changes only and thus preserves revision history.
- fprettify can handle cpp and [fypp](https://github.com/aradi/fypp) preprocessor directives.
## Limitations
- Works only for modern Fortran (Fortran 90 upwards).
- Feature missing? Please create an issue.
## Requirements
- Python 3 (Python 2.7 no longer supported)
- [ConfigArgParse](https://pypi.org/project/ConfigArgParse): optional, enables use of config file
## Examples
Compare `examples/*before.f90` (original Fortran files) with `examples/*after.f90` (reformatted Fortran files) to see what fprettify does. A quick demonstration:
```Fortran
program demo
integer :: endif,if,elseif
integer,DIMENSION(2) :: function
endif=3;if=2
if(endif==2)then
endif=5
elseif=if+4*(endif+&
2**10)
elseif(endif==3)then
function(if)=endif/elseif
print*,endif
endif
end program
```

```Fortran
program demo
integer :: endif, if, elseif
integer, DIMENSION(2) :: function
endif = 3; if = 2
if (endif == 2) then
endif = 5
elseif = if + 4*(endif + &
2**10)
elseif (endif == 3) then
function(if) = endif/elseif
print *, endif
endif
end program
```
## Installation
The latest release can be installed using pip:
```sh
pip install --upgrade fprettify
```
Installation from source requires Python Setuptools:
```sh
pip install .
```
For local installation, use `--user` option.
If you use the [Conda](https://docs.conda.io/) package manager, fprettify is available from the [conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org/) channel:
```sh
conda install -c conda-forge fprettify
```
## Command line tool
Autoformat file1, file2, ... inplace by
```sh
fprettify file1, file2, ...
```
The default indent is 3. If you prefer something else, use `--indent n` argument.
In order to apply fprettify recursively to an entire Fortran project instead of a single file, use the `-r` option.
For more options, read
```sh
fprettify -h
```
## Editor integration
For editor integration, use
```sh
fprettify --silent
```
For instance, with Vim, use fprettify with `gq` by putting the following commands in your `.vimrc`:
```vim
autocmd Filetype fortran setlocal formatprg=fprettify\ --silent
```
## Deactivation and manual formatting (experimental feature)
fprettify can be deactivated for selected lines: a single line followed by an inline comment starting with `!&` is not auto-formatted and consecutive lines that are enclosed between two comment lines `!&<` and `!&>` are not auto-formatted. This is useful for cases where manual alignment is preferred over auto-formatting. Furthermore, deactivation is necessary when non-standard Fortran syntax (such as advanced usage of preprocessor directives) prevents proper formatting. As an example, consider the following snippet of fprettify formatted code:
```fortran
A = [-1, 10, 0, &
0, 1000, 0, &
0, -1, 1]
```
In order to manually align the columns, fprettify needs to be deactivated by
```fortran
A = [-1, 10, 0, & !&
0, 1000, 0, & !&
0, -1, 1] !&
```
or, equivalently by
```fortran
!&<
A = [-1, 10, 0, &
0, 1000, 0, &
0, -1, 1]
!&>
```
## Contributing / Testing
The testing mechanism allows you to easily test fprettify with any Fortran project of your choice. Simply clone or copy your entire project into `fortran_tests/before` and run `python setup.py test`. The directory `fortran_tests/after` contains the test output (reformatted Fortran files). If testing fails, please submit an issue!
