Description
Hi 👋
I don't know if many people would be interested, I think it would be nice to have an option to define a minimal indentation. like :
--minimal-tab-indent: <Number> (default = 0)
Who, according to --tab-width and --use-tabs would give :
Input:
<?php
array_map(function($arg1,$arg2) use ( $var1, $var2 ) {
return $arg1+$arg2/($var+$var2);
}, array("complex"=>"code","with"=>
function() {return "inconsistent";}
,"formatting"=>"is", "hard" => "to", "maintain"=>true));
Output:
// With --tab-width=4, --use-tabs=false and --minimal-tab-indent=1
<?php
array_map(
function ($arg1, $arg2) use ($var1, $var2) {
return $arg1 + $arg2 / ($var + $var2);
},
[
"complex" => "code",
"with" => function () {
return "inconsistent";
},
"formatting" => "is",
"hard" => "to",
"maintain" => true,
]
);
I know it's a really marginal addition but it makes me anxious not to have this indentation that I always use in all my projects 😭
