ktlint vs AS autoformat-rearrange

[WhiteHatArpit]

There happens to be many things which the Android Studio's Reformat do but Ktlint seems helpless. What are the plans for this? Is there some way we can make them same? I would be happy to help too if you are short of bandwidth. Just point in the right direction!

Hi @WhiteHatArpit.
Can you provide a little bit more detail on what (which rules) you think should be included in ktlint?

I have couple of rules (#23, #14 and a few more) in the works and quite a few in my personal backlog. If you are willing to help (most appreciated) you could start with relatively-easy to implement:

• Reduntant setter parameter type

This inspection reports explicitly given parameter types in property setters. Setter parameter type always matches property type, so it's not needed to be explicit.

To get started, I'd recommend to look at ktlint-ruleset-template (NoVarRuleTest.kt) first and then ktlint-ruleset-standard.

To start with, first there are some styles about where should a bracket come while defining a class

class abc {
}

class abc
{
}

Then there are some unsaid rules related to ' ' space. If I put in these spaces at random spots in my code, I see different output using Ktlint and AS.
I suppose there are more complex rules but anti-bikeshedding thats what it is about.

Also, I would like to add some rules exclusive to my project but I am not sure how to go about them at the moment.

Sure I would take a look at those files and try to understand how it all works.

@WhiteHatArpit Thank you. #88 created to address { positioning. With regards to your personal rules - see https://github.com/shyiko/ktlint#can-i-have-my-own-rules-on-top-of-ktlint.
