bazel-mode

Basic Bazel support for Emacs

For now this mode gives you python syntax highlighting for WORKSPACE, BUILD.bazel and .bzl files. Formatting is supported by running buildifier.

Installing buildifier

Buildifier needs Go to compile and install. Follow the directions in [1] or install by running the following command.

go get -u github.com/bazelbuild/buildtools/buildifier

Formatting Bazel files manually

C-c C-f runs bazel-format on the current buffer.

Formatting Bazel files automatically before saving

Add the following to your Emacs config.

(add-hook 'bazel-mode-hook (lambda () (add-hook 'before-save-hook #'bazel-format nil t)))
