I am looking for suggestions for some general code-formatter to use in
emacs. Upon googling, I saw some discussion from a few years ago. I am
wondering if you have any recommendations?

​

Thank you so much

I'm aware of the following:

[raxod502/apheleia](https://github.com/radian-software/apheleia)

[purcell/emacs-reformatter](https://github.com/purcell/emacs-
reformatter)

[lassik/emacs-format-all-the-code](https://github.com/lassik/emacs-
format-all-the-code)

There is also [an effort](https://github.com/lassik/emacs-format-all-
the-code/issues/170) to merge all three which would be great.

Edit: Fix typo

I’ve been using aphelia for a while now. It has configurable backends
for things like prettier, so works with a lot of languages. It’s also
really unobtrusive, and you get used to the format-on-the-fly nature
of it really quickly. I’m using it with Elixir and TypeScript
currently and it does a great job.

If your language server supports formatting, an LSP client (lsp-
mode/eglot) could serve it.
