I have a strong opinion that every new programming language should ship with a standard code formatter. Golang does. Rust does. And yes, Cairo does as well 💪

The beauty of a code formatter is that it produces code that everyone hates equally. More importantly, it removes the all-so-tiresome comments about missing a space here or a newline there during code reviews.

It was pretty easy to set up a CI action that runs cairo-format on your repo, but now it’s got even easier. I’ve just released cairo-format-action, a GitHub Action that you can integrate in your repo to check for formatting transgressions. It’s easy as:

name: Cairo format

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
  pull_request:

jobs:
  format:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Check Cairo formatting
        uses: milancermak/cairo-format-action@v1

Happy formatting 💫
