ecltidy

ECL file reformatter and indenter

Description

ecltidy reads ECL from STDIN and outputs the reformatted text to STDOUT.

Install

Simply copy ecltidy.pl to any directory in your system PATH. Typically $HOME/bin (or %USERPROFILE%/bin on Windows).

Example usage

Issue the following command to reformat a file:

ecltidy.pl < eclfile.ecl

VSCode install

• Verify that Perl is installed on your system.

• Verify that ecltidy.pl has been copied to a suitable directory.

• Install the VSCode Custom Local Formatters extension through the VSCode extensions panel.

• On Windows, edit settings.json to look something like this:

    {
      "workbench.colorTheme": "Visual Studio Dark",
      "editor.tabSize": 3,
      "http.proxySupport": "fallback",
      "customLocalFormatters.formatters": [
        {
            "command": "perl %USERPROFILE%\\bin\\ecltidy.pl",
            "languages": [
                "ecl"
            ]
        }
      ],
    }

• That's all! You should now be able to format your ECL code with the command (shift+alt+f)
