# The Ruff Formatter
|
||||
|
||||
The Ruff formatter is an extremely fast Python code formatter designed as a drop-in replacement for
|
||||
[Black](https://pypi.org/project/black/), available as part of the `ruff` CLI via `ruff format`.
|
||||
|
||||
## `ruff format`
|
||||
|
||||
`ruff format` is the primary entrypoint to the formatter. It accepts a list of files or
|
||||
directories, and formats all discovered Python files:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
ruff format # Format all files in the current directory.
|
||||
ruff format path/to/code/ # Format all files in `path/to/code` (and any subdirectories).
|
||||
ruff format path/to/file.py # Format a single file.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Similar to Black, running `ruff format /path/to/file.py` will format the given file or directory
|
||||
in-place, while `ruff format --check /path/to/file.py` will avoid writing any formatted files back,
|
||||
and instead exit with a non-zero status code upon detecting any unformatted files.
|
||||
|
||||
For the full list of supported options, run `ruff format --help`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Philosophy
|
||||
|
||||
The initial goal of the Ruff formatter is _not_ to innovate on code style, but rather, to innovate
|
||||
on performance, and provide a unified toolchain across Ruff's linter, formatter, and any and all
|
||||
future tools.
|
||||
|
||||
As such, the formatter is designed as a drop-in replacement for [Black](https://github.com/psf/black),
|
||||
but with an excessive focus on performance and direct integration with Ruff. Given Black's
|
||||
popularity within the Python ecosystem, targeting Black compatibility ensures that formatter
|
||||
adoption is minimally disruptive for the vast majority of projects.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifically, the formatter is intended to emit near-identical output when run over existing
|
||||
Black-formatted code. When run over extensive Black-formatted projects like Django and Zulip, > 99.9%
|
||||
of lines are formatted identically. (See: [_Style Guide_](#style-guide).)
|
||||
|
||||
Given this focus on Black compatibility, the formatter thus adheres to [Black's (stable) code style](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/current_style.html),
|
||||
which aims for "consistency, generality, readability and reducing git diffs". To give you a sense
|
||||
for the enforced code style, here's an example:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Input
|
||||
def _make_ssl_transport(
|
||||
rawsock, protocol, sslcontext, waiter=None,
|
||||
*, server_side=False, server_hostname=None,
|
||||
extra=None, server=None,
|
||||
ssl_handshake_timeout=None,
|
||||
call_connection_made=True):
|
||||
'''Make an SSL transport.'''
|
||||
if waiter is None:
|
||||
waiter = Future(loop=loop)
|
||||
|
||||
if extra is None:
|
||||
extra = {}
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
# Ruff
|
||||
def _make_ssl_transport(
|
||||
rawsock,
|
||||
protocol,
|
||||
sslcontext,
|
||||
waiter=None,
|
||||
*,
|
||||
server_side=False,
|
||||
server_hostname=None,
|
||||
extra=None,
|
||||
server=None,
|
||||
ssl_handshake_timeout=None,
|
||||
call_connection_made=True,
|
||||
):
|
||||
"""Make an SSL transport."""
|
||||
if waiter is None:
|
||||
waiter = Future(loop=loop)
|
||||
|
||||
if extra is None:
|
||||
extra = {}
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Like Black, the Ruff formatter does _not_ support extensive code style configuration; however,
|
||||
unlike Black, it _does_ support configuring the desired quote style, indent style, line endings,
|
||||
and more. (See: [_Configuration_](#configuration).)
|
||||
|
||||
While the formatter is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Black, it is not intended to be
|
||||
used interchangeably with Black on an ongoing basis, as the formatter _does_ differ from
|
||||
Black in a few conscious ways (see: [_Known deviations_](formatter/black.md)). In general,
|
||||
deviations are limited to cases in which Ruff's behavior was deemed more consistent, or
|
||||
significantly simpler to support (with negligible end-user impact) given the differences in the
|
||||
underlying implementations between Black and Ruff.
|
||||
|
||||
Going forward, the Ruff Formatter will support Black's preview style under Ruff's own
|
||||
[preview](preview.md) mode.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The Ruff Formatter exposes a small set of configuration options, some of which are also supported
|
||||
by Black (like line width), some of which are unique to Ruff (like quote, indentation style and
|
||||
formatting code examples in docstrings).
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to configure the formatter to use single quotes, format code
|
||||
examples in docstrings, a line width of 100, and tab indentation, add the
|
||||
following to your configuration file:
|
||||
|
||||
=== "pyproject.toml"
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[tool.ruff]
|
||||
line-length = 100
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
[tool.ruff.format] [tool.ruff.format]
|
||||
quote-style = "single"
|
||||
indent-style = "tab"
|
||||
docstring-code-format = true
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
|
||||
=== "ruff.toml"
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
line-length = 100
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
[format] [format]
|
||||
quote-style = "single"
|
||||
indent-style = "tab"
|
||||
docstring-code-format = true
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
|
||||
For the full list of supported settings, see [_Settings_](settings.md#format). For more on
|
||||
configuring Ruff via `pyproject.toml`, see [_Configuring Ruff_](configuration.md).
|
||||
|
||||
Given the focus on Black compatibility (and unlike formatters like [YAPF](https://github.com/google/yapf)),
|
||||
Ruff does not currently expose any other configuration options.
|
||||
|
||||
## Docstring formatting
|
||||
|
||||
The Ruff formatter provides an opt-in feature for automatically formatting
|
||||
Python code examples in docstrings. The Ruff formatter currently recognizes
|
||||
code examples in the following formats:
|
||||
|
||||
* The Python [doctest] format.
|
||||
* CommonMark [fenced code blocks] with the following info strings: `python`,
|
||||
`py`, `python3`, or `py3`. Fenced code blocks without an info string are
|
||||
assumed to be Python code examples and also formatted.
|
||||
* reStructuredText [literal blocks]. While literal blocks may contain things
|
||||
other than Python, this is meant to reflect a long-standing convention in the
|
||||
|
||||
Python ecosystem where literal blocks often contain Python code.
|
||||
|
||||
* reStructuredText [`code-block` and `sourcecode` directives]. As with
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown, the language names recognized for Python are `python`, `py`,
|
||||
`python3`, or `py3`.
|
||||
|
||||
If a code example is recognized and treated as Python, the Ruff formatter will
|
||||
automatically skip it if the code does not parse as valid Python or if the
|
||||
reformatted code would produce an invalid Python program.
|
||||
|
||||
Users may also configure the line length limit used for reformatting Python
|
||||
code examples in docstrings. The default is a special value, `dynamic`, which
|
||||
instructs the formatter to respect the line length limit setting for the
|
||||
surrounding Python code. The `dynamic` setting ensures that even when code
|
||||
examples are found inside indented docstrings, the line length limit configured
|
||||
for the surrounding Python code will not be exceeded. Users may also configure
|
||||
a fixed line length limit for code examples in docstrings.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, this configuration shows how to enable docstring code formatting
|
||||
with a fixed line length limit:
|
||||
|
||||
=== "pyproject.toml"
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[tool.ruff.format]
|
||||
docstring-code-format = true
|
||||
docstring-code-line-length = 20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
=== "ruff.toml"
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[format]
|
||||
docstring-code-format = true
|
||||
docstring-code-line-length = 20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With the above configuration, this code:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def f(x):
|
||||
'''
|
||||
Something about `f`. And an example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
foo, bar, quux = this_is_a_long_line(lion, hippo, lemur, bear)
|
||||
'''
|
||||
pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
... will be reformatted (assuming the rest of the options are set
|
||||
to their defaults) as:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def f(x):
|
||||
"""
|
||||
Something about `f`. And an example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
(
|
||||
foo,
|
||||
bar,
|
||||
quux,
|
||||
) = this_is_a_long_line(
|
||||
lion,
|
||||
hippo,
|
||||
lemur,
|
||||
bear,
|
||||
)
|
||||
"""
|
||||
pass
|
||||
```

|
||||
|
||||
## Format suppression
|
||||
|
||||
Like Black, Ruff supports `# fmt: on`, `# fmt: off`, and `# fmt: skip` pragma comments, which can
|
||||
be used to temporarily disable formatting for a given code block.
|
||||
|
||||
`# fmt: on` and `# fmt: off` comments are enforced at the statement level:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# fmt: off
|
||||
not_formatted=3
|
||||
also_not_formatted=4
|
||||
# fmt: on
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As such, adding `# fmt: on` and `# fmt: off` comments within expressions will have no effect. In
|
||||
the following example, both list entries will be formatted, despite the `# fmt: off`:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
[
|
||||
# fmt: off
|
||||
'1',
|
||||
# fmt: on
|
||||
'2',
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, apply the `# fmt: off` comment to the entire statement:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# fmt: off
|
||||
[
|
||||
'1',
|
||||
'2',
|
||||
]
|
||||
# fmt: on
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Like Black, Ruff will _also_ recognize [YAPF](https://github.com/google/yapf)'s `# yapf: disable` and `# yapf: enable` pragma
|
||||
comments, which are treated equivalently to `# fmt: off` and `# fmt: on`, respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
`# fmt: skip` comments suppress formatting for a preceding statement, case header, decorator,
|
||||
function definition, or class definition:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
if True:
|
||||
pass
|
||||
elif False: # fmt: skip
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
@Test
|
||||
@Test2 # fmt: skip
|
||||
def test(): ...
|
||||
|
||||
a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] # fmt: skip
|
||||
|
||||
def test(a, b, c, d, e, f) -> int: # fmt: skip
|
||||
pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As such, adding an `# fmt: skip` comment at the end of an expression will have no effect. In
|
||||
the following example, the list entry `'1'` will be formatted, despite the `# fmt: skip`:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
a = call(
|
||||
[
|
||||
'1', # fmt: skip
|
||||
'2',
|
||||
],
|
||||
b
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, apply the `# fmt: skip` comment to the entire statement:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
a = call(
|
||||
[
|
||||
'1',
|
||||
'2',
|
||||
],
|
||||
b
|
||||
) # fmt: skip
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Conflicting lint rules
|
||||
|
||||
Ruff's formatter is designed to be used alongside the linter. However, the linter includes
|
||||
some rules that, when enabled, can cause conflicts with the formatter, leading to unexpected
|
||||
behavior. When configured appropriately, the goal of Ruff's formatter-linter compatibility is
|
||||
such that running the formatter should never introduce new lint errors.
|
||||
|
||||
When using Ruff as a formatter, we recommend avoiding the following lint rules:
|
||||
|
||||
* [`tab-indentation`](rules/tab-indentation.md) (`W191`)
|
||||
* [`indentation-with-invalid-multiple`](rules/indentation-with-invalid-multiple.md) (`E111`)
|
||||
* [`indentation-with-invalid-multiple-comment`](rules/indentation-with-invalid-multiple-comment.md) (`E114`)
|
||||
* [`over-indented`](rules/over-indented.md) (`E117`)
|
||||
* [`docstring-tab-indentation`](rules/docstring-tab-indentation.md) (`D206`)
|
||||
* [`triple-single-quotes`](rules/triple-single-quotes.md) (`D300`)
|
||||
* [`bad-quotes-inline-string`](rules/bad-quotes-inline-string.md) (`Q000`)
|
||||
* [`bad-quotes-multiline-string`](rules/bad-quotes-multiline-string.md) (`Q001`)
|
||||
* [`bad-quotes-docstring`](rules/bad-quotes-docstring.md) (`Q002`)
|
||||
* [`avoidable-escaped-quote`](rules/avoidable-escaped-quote.md) (`Q003`)
|
||||
* [`missing-trailing-comma`](rules/missing-trailing-comma.md) (`COM812`)
|
||||
* [`prohibited-trailing-comma`](rules/prohibited-trailing-comma.md) (`COM819`)
|
||||
* [`multi-line-implicit-string-concatenation`](rules/multi-line-implicit-string-concatenation.md) (`ISC002`) if used without `ISC001` and `flake8-implicit-str-concat.allow-multiline = false`
|
||||
|
||||
While the [`line-too-long`](rules/line-too-long.md) (`E501`) rule _can_ be used alongside the
|
||||
formatter, the formatter only makes a best-effort attempt to wrap lines at the configured
|
||||
[`line-length`](settings.md#line-length). As such, formatted code _may_ exceed the line length,
|
||||
leading to [`line-too-long`](rules/line-too-long.md) (`E501`) errors.
|
||||
|
||||
None of the above are included in Ruff's default configuration. However, if you've enabled
|
||||
any of these rules or their parent categories (like `Q`), we recommend disabling them via the
|
||||
linter's [`lint.ignore`](settings.md#lint_ignore) setting.
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, we recommend avoiding the following isort settings, which are incompatible with the
|
||||
formatter's treatment of import statements when set to non-default values:
|
||||
|
||||
* [`force-single-line`](settings.md#lint_isort_force-single-line)
|
||||
* [`force-wrap-aliases`](settings.md#lint_isort_force-wrap-aliases)
|
||||
* [`lines-after-imports`](settings.md#lint_isort_lines-after-imports)
|
||||
* [`lines-between-types`](settings.md#lint_isort_lines-between-types)
|
||||
* [`split-on-trailing-comma`](settings.md#lint_isort_split-on-trailing-comma)
|
||||
|
||||
If you've configured any of these settings to take on non-default values, we recommend removing
|
||||
them from your Ruff configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
When an incompatible lint rule or setting is enabled, `ruff format` will emit a warning. If your
|
||||
`ruff format` is free of warnings, you're good to go!
|
||||
|
||||
## Exit codes
|
||||
|
||||
`ruff format` exits with the following status codes:
|
||||
|
||||
* `0` if Ruff terminates successfully, regardless of whether any files were formatted.
|
||||
* `2` if Ruff terminates abnormally due to invalid configuration, invalid CLI options, or an
|
||||
internal error.
|
||||
|
||||
Meanwhile, `ruff format --check` exits with the following status codes:
|
||||
|
||||
* `0` if Ruff terminates successfully, and no files would be formatted if `--check` were not
|
||||
specified.
|
||||
* `1` if Ruff terminates successfully, and one or more files would be formatted if `--check` were
|
||||
not specified.
|
||||
* `2` if Ruff terminates abnormally due to invalid configuration, invalid CLI options, or an
|
||||
internal error.
|
||||
|
||||
## Style Guide
|
||||
|
||||
The formatter is designed to be a drop-in replacement for [Black](https://github.com/psf/black).
|
||||
This section documents the areas where the Ruff formatter goes beyond Black in terms of code style.
|
||||
|
||||
### Intentional deviations
|
||||
|
||||
While the Ruff formatter aims to be a drop-in replacement for Black, it does differ from Black
|
||||
in a few known ways. Some of these differences emerge from conscious attempts to improve upon
|
||||
Black's code style, while others fall out of differences in the underlying implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
For a complete enumeration of these intentional deviations, see [_Known deviations_](formatter/black.md).
|
||||
|
||||
Unintentional deviations from Black are tracked in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Aformatter).
|
||||
If you've identified a new deviation, please [file an issue](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/new).
|
||||
|
||||
### Preview style
|
||||
|
||||
Similar to [Black](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/future_style.html#preview-style), Ruff implements formatting changes
|
||||
under the [`preview`](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/settings/#format_preview) flag, promoting them to stable through minor releases, in accordance with our [versioning policy](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/discussions/6998#discussioncomment-7016766).
|
||||
|
||||
### F-string formatting
|
||||
|
||||
_Stabilized in Ruff 0.9.0_
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike Black, Ruff formats the expression parts of f-strings which are the parts inside the curly
|
||||
braces `{...}`. This is a [known deviation](formatter/black.md#f-strings) from Black.
|
||||
|
||||
Ruff employs several heuristics to determine how an f-string should be formatted which are detailed
|
||||
below.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quotes
|
||||
|
||||
Ruff will use the [configured quote style] for the f-string expression unless doing so would result in
|
||||
invalid syntax for the target Python version or requires more backslash escapes than the original
|
||||
expression. Specifically, Ruff will preserve the original quote style for the following cases:
|
||||
|
||||
When the target Python version is < 3.12 and a [self-documenting f-string] contains a string
|
||||
literal with the [configured quote style]:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# format.quote-style = "double"
|
||||
|
||||
f'{10 + len("hello")=}'
|
||||
# This f-string cannot be formatted as follows when targeting Python < 3.12
|
||||
f"{10 + len("hello")=}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When the target Python version is < 3.12 and an f-string contains any triple-quoted string, byte
|
||||
or f-string literal that contains the [configured quote style]:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# format.quote-style = "double"
|
||||
|
||||
f'{"""nested " """}'
|
||||
# This f-string cannot be formatted as follows when targeting Python < 3.12
|
||||
f"{'''nested " '''}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For all target Python versions, when a [self-documenting f-string] contains an expression between
|
||||
the curly braces (`{...}`) with a format specifier containing the [configured quote style]:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# format.quote-style = "double"
|
||||
|
||||
f'{1=:"foo}'
|
||||
# This f-string cannot be formatted as follows for all target Python versions
|
||||
f"{1=:"foo}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For nested f-strings, Ruff alternates quote styles, starting with the [configured quote style] for the
|
||||
outermost f-string. For example, consider the following f-string:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# format.quote-style = "double"
|
||||
|
||||
f"outer f-string {f"nested f-string {f"another nested f-string"} end"} end"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ruff formats it as:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
f"outer f-string {f'nested f-string {f"another nested f-string"} end'} end"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Line breaks
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with Python 3.12 ([PEP 701](https://peps.python.org/pep-0701/)), the expression parts of an f-string can
|
||||
span multiple lines. Ruff needs to decide when to introduce a line break in an f-string expression.
|
||||
This depends on the semantic content of the expression parts of an f-string - for example,
|
||||
introducing a line break in the middle of a natural-language sentence is undesirable. Since Ruff
|
||||
doesn't have enough information to make that decision, it adopts a heuristic similar to [Prettier](https://prettier.io/docs/en/next/rationale.html#template-literals):
|
||||
it will only split the expression parts of an f-string across multiple lines if there was already a line break
|
||||
within any of the expression parts.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the following code:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
f"this f-string has a multiline expression {
|
||||
['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow',]} and does not fit within the line length"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
... is formatted as:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# The list expression is split across multiple lines because of the trailing comma
|
||||
f"this f-string has a multiline expression {
|
||||
[
|
||||
'red',
|
||||
'green',
|
||||
'blue',
|
||||
'yellow',
|
||||
]
|
||||
} and does not fit within the line length"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
But, the following will not be split across multiple lines even though it exceeds the line length:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
f"this f-string has a multiline expression {['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow']} and does not fit within the line length"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want Ruff to split an f-string across multiple lines, ensure there's a linebreak somewhere within the
|
||||
`{...}` parts of an f-string.

## Sorting imports
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, the Ruff formatter does not sort imports. In order to both sort imports and format,
|
||||
call the Ruff linter and then the formatter:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
ruff check --select I --fix
|
||||
ruff format
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A unified command for both linting and formatting is [planned](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/8232).
