EditorConfig Generator

EditorConfig Generator asks for Indent style, Indent size, End of line, Insert final newline and shows a Editorconfig result after Generate .editorconfig. “Spaces, size 2, LF” returns “Editorconfig: indent space 2, lf, final newline true”. “Tabs and CRLF” returns “Editorconfig: indent tab 4, crlf, final newline false”. Full first result: Editorconfig: indent space 2, lf, final newline true --- root = true [*] indent_style = space indent_size = 2 end_of_line = lf charset = utf-8 insert_final_newline = true

How to use

  1. Fill in Indent style, Indent size, End of line, Insert final newline for Editorconfig.
  2. To match “Spaces, size 2, LF”, enter Indent style space; Indent size 2; End of line lf; Insert final newline yes.
  3. Press Generate .editorconfig. The summary line should be “Editorconfig: indent space 2, lf, final newline true”.
  4. Read every line under “Editorconfig: indent space 2, lf, final newline true” before you copy the Editorconfig result.
  5. Press Copy for the whole Editorconfig result, or Reset to restore “Spaces, size 2, LF”.
  6. For the second check, “Tabs and CRLF”, the summary should be “Editorconfig: indent tab 4, crlf, final newline false”.

Formula / how it works

Example “Spaces, size 2, LF” sets Indent style = space; Indent size = 2; End of line = lf; Insert final newline = yes.

Editorconfig returns this exact text:

Editorconfig: indent space 2, lf, final newline true
---
root = true

[*]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
insert_final_newline = true

Charset is utf-8 and root is true.

Example “Tabs and CRLF” sets Indent style = tab; Indent size = 4; End of line = crlf; Insert final newline = no.

Editorconfig returns this exact text:

Editorconfig: indent tab 4, crlf, final newline false
---
root = true

[*]
indent_style = tab
indent_size = 4
end_of_line = crlf
charset = utf-8
insert_final_newline = false

Final newline can be turned off.

Editorconfig vocabulary for this page: editorconfig, indent, charset, newline, root, editorconfig.

Editorconfig pass 1 (“Tabs and CRLF”) prints:

Editorconfig: indent tab 4, crlf, final newline false
---
root = true

[*]
indent_style = tab
indent_size = 4
end_of_line = crlf
charset = utf-8
insert_final_newline = false

The words for this pass are editorconfig, indent, charset, newline, root, editorconfig.

Worked examples

Spaces, size 2, LF

Inputs: Indent style: space | Indent size: 2 | End of line: lf | Insert final newline: yes

Set Indent style space, then Indent size 2, then End of line lf, then Insert final newline yes. Press Generate .editorconfig. The Editorconfig summary should read “Editorconfig: indent space 2, lf, final newline true”.

Result: Editorconfig: indent space 2, lf, final newline true --- root = true [*] indent_style = space indent_size = 2 end_of_line = lf charset = utf-8 insert_final_newline = true

Charset is utf-8 and root is true.

Tabs and CRLF

Inputs: Indent style: tab | Indent size: 4 | End of line: crlf | Insert final newline: no

Set Indent style tab, then Indent size 4, then End of line crlf, then Insert final newline no. Press Generate .editorconfig. The Editorconfig summary should read “Editorconfig: indent tab 4, crlf, final newline false”.

Result: Editorconfig: indent tab 4, crlf, final newline false --- root = true [*] indent_style = tab indent_size = 4 end_of_line = crlf charset = utf-8 insert_final_newline = false

Final newline can be turned off.

Use cases

  • Check “Editorconfig: indent space 2, lf, final newline true” before trusting a new Editorconfig input.
  • Check “Editorconfig: indent tab 4, crlf, final newline false” as the second Editorconfig case.
  • Charset is utf-8 and root is true.
  • Final newline can be turned off.

Tips & limitations

  • “Spaces, size 2, LF”: Charset is utf-8 and root is true.
  • “Tabs and CRLF”: Final newline can be turned off.
  • Editorconfig fields: Indent style, Indent size, End of line, Insert final newline.
  • The Editorconfig summary for the opening example is “Editorconfig: indent space 2, lf, final newline true”.
