16. Code Style Setting

Code style settings allow defining formatting options. A code style settings provider will create an instance of the settings, and also create an options page in order to edit them. In this example, we’ll create a page that uses the default language code style settings, customised by a language code style settings provider.

16.1. Define code style settings

package com.simpleplugin;

import com.intellij.psi.codeStyle.*;

public class SimpleCodeStyleSettings extends CustomCodeStyleSettings {
  public SimpleCodeStyleSettings(CodeStyleSettings settings) {
    super("SimpleCodeStyleSettings", settings);
  }
}

16.2. Define code style settings provider

package com.simpleplugin;

import com.intellij.application.options.*;
import com.intellij.openapi.options.Configurable;
import com.intellij.psi.codeStyle.*;
import org.jetbrains.annotations.*;

public class SimpleCodeStyleSettingsProvider extends CodeStyleSettingsProvider {
  @Override
  public CustomCodeStyleSettings createCustomSettings(CodeStyleSettings settings) {
    return new SimpleCodeStyleSettings(settings);
  }

  @Nullable
  @Override
  public String getConfigurableDisplayName() {
    return "Simple";
  }

  
  @NotNull
  public CodeStyleConfigurable createConfigurable(@NotNull CodeStyleSettings settings, @NotNull CodeStyleSettings modelSettings) {
    return new CodeStyleAbstractConfigurable(settings, modelSettings, this.getConfigurableDisplayName()) {
      @Override
      protected CodeStyleAbstractPanel createPanel(CodeStyleSettings settings) {
        return new SimpleCodeStyleMainPanel(getCurrentSettings(), settings);
      }
    };
  }
  
  private static class SimpleCodeStyleMainPanel extends TabbedLanguageCodeStylePanel {
    public SimpleCodeStyleMainPanel(CodeStyleSettings currentSettings, CodeStyleSettings settings) {
      super(SimpleLanguage.INSTANCE, currentSettings, settings);
    }
  }
}

16.3. Register the code style settings provider

<codeStyleSettingsProvider implementation="com.simpleplugin.SimpleCodeStyleSettingsProvider"/>

16.4. Define language code style settings provider

package com.simpleplugin;

import com.intellij.lang.Language;
import com.intellij.psi.codeStyle.*;
import org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull;

public class SimpleLanguageCodeStyleSettingsProvider extends LanguageCodeStyleSettingsProvider {
  @NotNull
  @Override
  public Language getLanguage() {
    return SimpleLanguage.INSTANCE;
  }

  @Override
  public void customizeSettings(@NotNull CodeStyleSettingsCustomizable consumer, @NotNull SettingsType settingsType) {
    if (settingsType == SettingsType.SPACING_SETTINGS) {
      consumer.showStandardOptions("SPACE_AROUND_ASSIGNMENT_OPERATORS");
      consumer.renameStandardOption("SPACE_AROUND_ASSIGNMENT_OPERATORS", "Separator");
    } else if (settingsType == SettingsType.BLANK_LINES_SETTINGS) {
      consumer.showStandardOptions("KEEP_BLANK_LINES_IN_CODE");
    }
  }

  @Override
  public String getCodeSample(@NotNull SettingsType settingsType) {
    return "# You are reading the \".properties\" entry.\n" +
           "! The exclamation mark can also mark text as comments.\n" +
           "website = http://en.wikipedia.org/\n" +
           "\n" +
           "\n" +
           "\n" +
           "language = English\n" +
           "# The backslash below tells the application to continue reading\n" +
           "# the value onto the next line.\n" +
           "message = Welcome to \\\n" +
           "          Wikipedia!\n" +
           "# Add spaces to the key\n" +
           "key\\ with\\ spaces = This is the value that could be looked up with the key \"key with spaces\".\n" +
           "# Unicode\n" +
           "tab : \\u0009";
  }
}

16.5. Register the language code style settings provider

<langCodeStyleSettingsProvider implementation="com.simpleplugin.SimpleLanguageCodeStyleSettingsProvider"/>

16.6. Run the project
