how to format nested parentheses using .clang-format

Question

I want to obtain the following code to create json object:

nlohmann::json obj = {
    {key1, "value 1"},
    {key2, 22}
};

Instead of

nlohmann::json obj = {{key1, "value 1"}, {key2, 22}};

Is it possible to do that using .clang-format settings?

Answer 1

Something similar can be achieved with AlignArrayOfStructures: Left:

nlohmann::json obj = {
    {key1, "value 1"},
    {key2, 22       }
};

You could also disable clang-format for those lines and format them manually:

// clang-format off
nlohmann::json obj = {
    {key1, "value 1"},
    {key2, 22}
};
// clang-format on
