I'm currently researching Black as our default formatter, but, I'm having some edge cases that don't format well and I want to know if there's a way to get the result I want.
Black's documentation partially explores my problem, I have a dictionary expression spread horizontally, and I want to keep it that way since I'm expecting lines to be added, e.g.:
# Black would keep this as-is because of the trailing comma
TRANSLATIONS = {
"en_us": "English (US)",
"pl_pl": "polski",
}
But in my case the dictionary is inside a list comprehension:
res = [
{
'id': item.id,
'name': item.name,
}
for item in items.select()
]
Which Black collapses, regardless of the trailing comma, like so:
res = [
{"id": item.id, "name": item.name,}
for item in items.select()
]
Is there a way of telling Black to retain the horizontal structure in these cases?
It seems that black addressed this issue.
At the time of writing this answer, using black version 20.8b1
, the formatting is done as I was hoping for.
As long as there is a magic trailing comma on the last item in the dictionary expression, black will format the code within the list comprehension.
res = [
{
"id": item.id, "name": item.name,
}
for item in items.select()
]
Will format to:
res = [
{
"id": item.id,
"name": item.name,
}
for item in items.select()
]
