There are a lot of different ways to run mdsf using GitHub actions.
The easiest way, in my opinion, is to use the official GitHub action to install mdsf.
After that you can run the binary like you would in your terminal.
> \[!NOTE\]
> mdsf is not a package manager.
>
> You must also install the tools you wish to use in your GitHub action.
`yaml
name: mdsf
on: push
jobs:
format:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Install mdsf
uses: hougesen/mdsf@main
- name: Run mdsf
run: mdsf format --log-level warn .
- name: Commit changes
uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@v9
with:
message: "style: formatted markdown code blocks"
`
$3
mdsf can be run using the VSCode extension.
> \[!NOTE\]
> The mdsf VS Code extension does currently not support installing mdsf.
> Which means mdsf must be installed using other means.
$3
#### conform.nvim
conform.nvim has native support for running mdsf.
`lua
local conform = require("conform")
conform.setup({
formatters_by_ft = {
markdown = { "mdsf" },
-- ...
},
-- ...
})
`
$3
Add the following to your treefmt.toml to run mdsf using treefmt.
`tomltreefmt.toml
[formatter.mdsf]
command = "mdsf"
options = ["format"]
includes = ["*.md"]
`
$3
See pre-commit for instructions
Sample .pre-commit-config.yaml:
`yaml`
repos:
- repo: https://github.com/hougesen/mdsf
rev: main
hooks:
- id: mdsf-format
Configuration
The default configuration of mdsf aims to as simple as possible. For that reason the default formatter for each language is the one most people have installed.
If you are interested in customizing which formatter is run, you can create a new mdsf configuration file by running mdsf init.
`
Create a new mdsf config
Usage: mdsf init [OPTIONS]
Options:
--force Create config even if one already exists in current directory
--log-level
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
`
mdsf supports running multiple formatters on the code snippet.
`jsonruff
{
"languages": {
// Only run on Python snippets,usort
"python": "ruff:format",
// Run on file and then black
"python": ["usort", "black"],
// Run , if that fails run isort, finally run black
"python": [["usort", "isort"], "black"],
// Formatters listed under "*" will be run on any snippet.
"*": ["typos"],
// Formatters listed under "_" will only be run when there is not formatter configured for the file type OR globally ("*").
"_": "prettier"
}
}
`
$3
Multiple languages can easily be mapped to the same tools using the language_aliases option.
`json`
{
"language_aliases": {
"language": "is_alias_of"
}
}
In the example below bash and zsh would use the tools defined under languages.shell.
`json`
{
"languages": {
"shell": "shfmt"
},
"language_aliases": {
"bash": "shell",
"zsh": "shell"
}
}
$3
By default LF (\n) is used for newlines.
That can be changed by specifying the newline config option.
`json`
{
"newline": "lf" // "lf" | "cr" | "crlf"
}
$3
Custom commands can be defined in the mdsf.json file.
When defining the arguments the variable $PATH will automatically be replaced with the file path.
`json`
{
"languages": {
"rust": {
"binary": "rustfmt",
"arguments": ["--edition", "2018", "$PATH"],
"stdin": false
}
}
}
$3
> \[!NOTE\]
> mdsf is not a package manager.
>
> Only tools that are already installed will be used.
