Unreleased

Fixed

Fixed handling of floor division (//) syntax when only Luau FFlag is enabled
Fixed missing space when table is inside of Luau interpolated string expression ({{ is invalid syntax)

0.19.1 - 2023-11-15

This release has no changes. It resolves an issue in our test suite that may affect downstream package management tooling failing tests (#824)

0.19.0 - 2023-11-12

Added

Added flag --respect-ignores. By default, files explicitly passed to stylua (e.g. stylua foo.lua) will always be formatted, regardless of whether the file is ignored. Enabling this flag will consider .styluaignore or glob matches before formatting the file. (#765)
- Note: for backwards compatibility reasons, formatting via stdin always respects ignores. This behaviour will change in the next major release

Changed

Updated parser crate with following changes:
- Support Luau floor division (//)
- Fix Luau string interpolation parsing
- Fix Luau \z escape parsing
Simplified access and modification patterns for StyLua configuration. You can now access the properties directly
- Deprecated: the old access patterns of .property() and .with_property() are now deprecated
- Breaking Change (WASM): due to JS/TS lack of differentiation between .property / .property() implementation, the .property() functions were removed from WASM output.
Multiline comments before commas will now remain in place and not move to after the comma. This is to support type-assertions-via-comments that is commonly used by some language servers. (#778)

Fixed

Wasm build now correctly supports configuring sort requires (#818)

0.18.2 - 2023-09-10

Fixed

Fixed LuaJIT suffixes LL/ULL causing a panic when running in --verify mode (#750)
Fixed incorrect formatting of conditionals when collapse_simple_statement is enabled and the block begins with an empty line (#744)
Fixed formatting of dot function call chains with comment between dot and names (#747)

0.18.1 - 2023-07-15

Fixed

Fixed parentheses around a single Luau type pack in a generic being removed causing syntax errors (#729)

0.18.0 - 2023-06-14

Added

Multiline ignores (-- stylua: ignore start / -- stylua: ignore end) will now work within table fields (#705):

require("foo").bar {
	-- stylua: ignore start
	baz      =0, -- < not formatted
	foo   =   2, -- < not formatted
	-- stylua: ignore end
	bar        =     1234 -- formatted
}

Added option "Input" to call_parentheses setting, where call parentheses are retained based on their presence in the original input code. (#668) Note: this setting removes all automation in determining call parentheses, and consistency is not enforced.

Changed

Improved heuristics around Luau type excess parentheses removal, so unnecessary types are removed in more locations

Fixed

Function calls are now formatted onto multiple lines if the opening brace { of a multiline table forces one of the lines over width (#704)
Fixed missing option --sort-requires to enable sort requires on the command line (#669)

$ stylua --sort-requires test.lua

Fixed parentheses removed around Luau optional type (B?) causing syntax errors when present in an intersection A & (B?) (#679)
Fixed comments lost when parentheses removed around Luau types
Fixed race condition where if a file is passed more than once as an argument to format, then it could potentially be wiped completely (for example, if an ancestor directory is passed and recursively searched, as well as the file itself) (#708)

0.17.1 - 2023-03-30

Fixed

Bumped internal parser dependency which should fix parsing problems for comments with Chinese characters, and multiline string escapes
Fixed comments in punctuated lists for return statements or assignments being incorrectly formatted leading to syntax errors (#662)
Fixed line endings not being correctly formatted in multiline string literals and comments (#665)

0.17.0 - 2023-03-11

Added

Added support for "sort requires", which sorts top-level statements of the form local NAME = require(EXPR) lexicographically on NAME. We do this by treating a group of consecutive requires as a "block", and then sorting only within the block. Any other statement, or an empty line, between require statements will split the group into two separate blocks (and can be used to separate the sorting). A block of requires will not move around the file. Roblox Luau statements of the form local NAME = game:GetService(EXPR) will also be sorted separately.

This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, add the following to your stylua.toml:

[sort_requires]
enabled = true

Note: we assume that all requires are pure with no side effects. It is not recommended to use this feature if the ordering of your requires matter.

Added support for EditorConfig, which is taken into account only if no stylua.toml was found.

This feature is enabled by default, it can be disabled using --no-editorconfig.

Changed

We now attempt to first hang the equals token in an assignment before expanding the RHS expression, provided the expression is not "complex" (#292, #489)
We now use the current indent level of comments preceding an elseif/else token to determine whether they should still be indented one level or inlined with the elseif/else token. (#254)

Fixed parentheses around type assertions in a binary expression being removed leading to incorrect semantics. (#441)

0.13.0 - 2022-03-31

Added

Added support for alternative diff outputs. You can now use --output-format=unified or --output-format=json to output a unified diff or json mismatches list respectively. A unified diff can be fed into other tools such as patch or delta, whilst a JSON diff provides a more machine readable format useful for extensions. (#230)

Changed

Migrate internal dependency for CLI arguments handling, with improved help messages.
Type declarations consisting of unions/intersections where an inner type has a multiline comment will now force hanging
Generic fors will no longer expand onto multiple lines if the expression looping over is a function call with a single table argument (e.g., ipairs({ ... })) (#405)
Excess parentheses around a type assertion will now be removed. (#383, [#425])

Fixed the first expression in a multiple assignment prematurely hanging even if its below the column width. (#233)
Updated internal parser to fix parsing issues for Luau code under the luau feature flag.

0.10.0 - 2021-07-11

Added

Added flag --verify which, when enabled, attempts to verify the generated output AST with the input AST to detect any changes to code correctness. Useful for adopting StyLua into a large codebase, at the cost of slower processing. (#199)
Added optional command line options --column-width, --indent-type, --indent-width, --line-endings and --quote-style, which, when provided, will override any configuration setting inferred from the default or a stylua.toml. (#213)
Added multithreaded support for formatting file in the CLI. Now each file will be formatted in its own thread. The number of threads used defaults to the number of cores on your computer, but can be set using --num-threads
Added support for disabling formatting over specific ranges. Use -- stylua: ignore start to disable formatting and -- stylua: ignore end to re-enable it. The comment must be preceding a statement and disabling formatting cannot cross block scope boundaries. (#198)

Changed

Luau type tables (luau feature flag) now use the same formatting strategy as normal expression tables, so that their formatting is more aligned.
Luau typings now have improved checking against the current shape width to determine how to format if over column width.
Luau callback types will now format multiline if they become over width under the luau feature flag.
Improved the formatting of return expressions, they are now more in line with assignment expressions. (#194)
Changed buffering of error messages in the CLI. Originally, they would be buffered till the end, but now they are output immediately when seen.
Allowed the use of --check when taking input from stdin.
An error when parsing provided globs will cause the program to immediately exit rather than continuing with the incorrect glob.
Only diff errors will exit with a status code of 1. Other errors (e.g. parse errors or internal errors) will now exit with status code of 2.

Fixed

Fixed comments inside Luau type tables leading to malformed formatting under the luau feature flag. (#219)
Fixed multiple assignment where an expression was originally hung due to comments being collapsed leading to malformed formatting. (#222)
Fixed an issue where a function call with a single table argument being hugged with the parentheses which contain comments leading to a syntax error. (#224)

0.9.3 - 2021-06-26

Added

Added --verbose to print debug information, including finding config files and time taken to format files.

Fixed

Fixed severe performance regression due to a change in table formatting leading to exponential blowup for nested tables. (#205)
Fixed long binop chains with a comment deep inside not being hung, leading to a syntax error. (#210)

0.9.2 - 2021-06-20

Changed

Bumped full-moon to 0.12.1 to fix parsing bugs

Fixed

Fixed parentheses around type assertions being classed as unnecessary and removed under the luau feature flag.
Fixed mistransformation of function type where arguments have comments under the luau feature flag. (#201)
Fixed comments in an assignment in between the equals token and the expression leading to a mistransformation. (#200)

0.9.1 - 2021-06-17

Added

Added --stdin-filepath option to specify location of file being taken in from stdin. This is optional and is only used to determine where to find the configuration file. If not provided, we default to searching from current working directory. (#192)

Fixed

Fixed empty functions with comments being incorrectly collapsed leading to syntax error. (#195)

0.9.0 - 2021-06-15

Added

CLI will now look for stylua.toml and its hidden counterpart, .stylua.toml. (#145)
Added CLI flag --search-parent-directories. If enabled, we will look in parent directories for a configuration file, or look in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/stylua. (#127, #146)
Updated full-moon: Added support for typed variadics, named function type args, and generic functions under the Luau feature flag
Will now hang on equality operators within binary expressions, if over width.
If a file path is explicitly provided to the CLI which doesn't end with .lua ending, the *.lua glob check is skipped. (#170)
Long type unions will now hang under the luau feature flag. (#165)
Added option no_call_parentheses. Enabling this config will remove parentheses around function calls taking a single string/table as an argument. This config was added for adoption purposes. (#133)

Changed

Long prefix expressions which are hangable and go over the line limit (e.g. ("foooo" .. "barrrrrrr" .. "bazzzzzz"):format(...)) will now hang multiline (#139)
Changed formatting for assignments. We will now try all tactics then determine the best one. Multiple assignments will now no longer attempt to hang a single expression first - we will hang the whole punctuated list. (#157)
Function calls with single arguments are now possible to be expanded. This will allow the call to be expanded if the line goes over budget. (#156)
StyLua will now firstly prefer hanging long arguments to function calls to try and fit under the width, before expanding them multiline. (#159)
When hanging a binary expression, previously, we would always hang the "root" node of AST BinExp tree. Now we will check to see if is necessary (we are over width) before hanging (#163)
StyLua will hug together table braces with function call parentheses when formatting a function call taking a single table as an argument. (#182)
Function calls with more than one argument, where an argument is "complex", will now expand multiline. "complex" is an argument spanning multiple lines, but excludes a table or anonymous function, as we handle them explicitly. (#183)
StyLua will always hang at the equals token for a multi-variable assignment. (#185)
Tables with multiline fields (such as an anonymous function expression) should always expand if previously on single line. (#187)
Function definitions (both normal and anonymous) with an empty body will now be kept on a single line. This is common for noop functions local function noop() end. (#188)

Fixed

Fixed 1 or 2 digit numerical escapes being incorrectly removed
Fixed whitespace being lost before a multiline comment. We will now preserve a single space (e.g. local test --[[foo]] = true -> local test --[[foo]] = true) (#136)
Fixed the double formatting of a hanging call chain when it was being assigned to a variable causing it to be incorrectly formatted (#151)
Fixed leading comments to a binop in a hanging expression being lost (#154)
Fixed mistransformation of comments leading the RHS of a hanging binop. They are now moved to before the binop (#154)
Fixed comments trailing unnecessary parentheses around expressions that were later removed not being preserved (#176)
Fixed a double unary minus (- -foo/-(-foo)) being formatted as --foo leading to a comment syntax error. Parentheses are now enforced: -(-foo) (#171)
Fixed semicolon being removed leading to function call x new statement ambiguity when next statement is an assignment with the first variable being a parentheses var expression (#173)
Fixed mistransformation of comments in if condition then or while condition do lines - improved assurance that they will hang multiline (#164)
Fixed indentation of comments leading a then or do token when if ... then or while ... do are multiline.
Fixed mistransformation of comments in a generic declaration under the luau feature flag (#166)
Fixed trailing comma being added after comments in multiline type table under the luau feature flag (#166)

0.8.1 - 2021-04-30

Fixed

Fixed bug where a hanging expression inside of parentheses would lead to function arguments being incorrectly formatted with a trailing comma - leading to a syntax error

0.8.0 - 2021-04-30

Added

Parentheses around conditions are now removed, as they are not required in Lua. if (foo and (not bar or baz)) then ... end turns to if foo and (not bar or baz) then ... end
Long multi-variable assignments which surpass the column width, even when hanging on the equals token, will now hang on multiple lines.

Changed

Changed the heursitics for when parentheses are removed around expressions. Parentheses will now never be removed around a function call prefix (e.g. ("hello"):len())
Changed formatting for comma-separated lists. Previously, we would buffer the comments to the end of the list, but now we keep the comments next to where they original were.
Improved contextual formatting informattion when formatting deep in the AST. We can now better determine how much space is left on the current line, before we need to change formatting
Improved formatting of function declarations. It will now properly take into account the amount of space left on the column width.
Improve formatting for assignments with expressions such as function calls. The whole assignment is now taken into account, so we can better determine whether to split the expression.

Fixed

Fixed trailing whitespace remaining on the last item of a multiline table (which was expanded from a singleline one)

0.7.1 - 2021-04-19

Fixed

Fixed parentheses around a table being incorrectly removed leading to a syntax error, such as in ({}):foo()

0.7.0 - 2021-04-13

Added

Added hanging for chained function calls. See #109
Long function definitions (normally with parameters containing types and a return type) will now be split across multiple lines if they surpass the column limit

Changed

Further improvements to the way binary expressions are hung on new lines

Fixed

Fixed trailing comments at the end of multiline tables being lost
Fixed panic "stmt trailing comments not implemented" occuring due to incomplete function
Fixed trailing comments after semicolons at the end of last statements being lost when formatting
Fixed function parameters collapsing when there is a comments at the end of function parameters, where the last parameter has a type specifier
Fixed comments at the end of tables being indented one extra level
Fixed trailing comments within if-elseif-else blocks not being correctly indented.
Fixed do in a while ... do statement not correctly indented when the condition spans multiple lines
Fixed multiline parameters for a function definition inside of an indent block (e.g. a table) not being correctly indented

0.6.0 - 2021-03-27

Added

Added support for creating new Config structs when using StyLua as a library
Added configuration for quote style. There are four quote style options - AutoPreferDouble, AutoPreferSingle, ForceDouble and ForceSingle. For the auto styles, we will prefer the quote type specified, but fall back to the opposite if it means there are fewer escapes. For the force styles, we will always use the quote type specified.
StyLua will now error when unknown fields are found in the configuration stylua.toml file
Long lines of assignments, where the expressions aren't hangable, will now be put onto a newline, where a newline is created after the equal sign, and the expressions indented.
Added initial support for Lua 5.2 syntax. StyLua can now format code containing gotos and labels. See #87 to track further support for Lua 5.2 syntax.

Changed

Function call heuristic have been further improve to decide when to expand the function call arguments onto multiple lines.
StyLua now allows some arguments after a multiline table before forcing expansion. This makes sense for something like setmetatable({ ... }, class), where { ... } is a multiline table, but we don't want to expand onto multiple lines. StyLua will not allow a mixture of multiline tables and small identifiers in between (e.g. call({ ... }, foo, { ... })), in order to improve readability.
Empty newlines at the start and end of a block will now be removed as they are unnecessary
Changed the default quote style from ForceDouble to AutoPreferDouble. We will now default to swapping quote type if it will reduce the number of escapes.

Fixed

Fixed tables with internal comments (and no fields) incorrectly collapsing to a single line
Fixed parentheses being incorrectly removed around a BinOp where first value was a UnOp
Fixed indentation of leading comments bound to the end brace of a multiline table
Fixed LastStmt (return/break etc.) still being formatted when it wasn't defined inside the range
Fixed hanging expressions which are inside function calls being indented unnecessarily by one extra level
Fixed parentheses being incorrectly removed around a function definition, which may be called like (function() ... end)()
Fixed some string escapes being incorrectly deemed as unnecessary
Fixed trailing comments after semicolons at the end of statements being lost when formatting
Fixed formatting issues in relation to newline and whitespace when using range formatting.
Fixed empty tables taking 2 formatting passes to format properly

0.5.0 - 2021-02-24

Added

Added support for removing excess parentheses around expressions. e.g. print((x)) will be formatted to print(x), as the parentheses are unnecessary. We also consider cases where parentheses should not be removed, e.g. print((x())) - removing the parentheses changes the meaning of the code.
Added formatting of BinOp expressions within function calls. If there is a long expression as a function argument and it contains binops, it will now span multiple lines
Added a column_width setting, which is used to guide when StyLua should wrap lines. It defaults to 120.
Added support for formatting ranges. You can now specificy ranges using --range-start <num> and --range-end <num> (both optional, and both inclusive). If a range is provided, only statements within the range will be formatted. Currently only supports ranges containing whole statements, and is not more granular.
Added support for ignore comments. If the line before a statement begins with the comment -- stylua: ignore, then the statement will be ignored during formatting. This currently only supports ignoring statement-level nodes

Changed

Improved CLI --check output. We now use a more detailed output which should help in determining diffs
Improved calculations in places to determine when to wrap lines

Fixed

Fixed an expression ending with an UnOp (e.g. #foo) and a trailing comment forcing an unnecessary hanging expression
Fixed loss of comments trailing punctuation within function parameters
Comments within function parameters now force the parameter to go mutliline, fixing syntax errors created from previous formatting
Fixed incorrect indentation of body of expressions spanning multiple lines (e.g. anonymous functions/tables) when the expression is part of a hanging binop
Fixed incorrect formatting of multiple long comma-separated assignment/returns causing the comma to be placed onto a new line

0.4.1 - 2021-02-05

Fixed

Fixed function calls being incorrectly expanded due to a comment within the arguments. We will now only check for leading/trailing comments for argument expressions to see if we need to keep it expanded or not.

0.4.0 - 2021-02-05

Added

Added formatting for number literals which begin with a decimal. For consistency, a "0" will be prepended (i.e. .5 turns to 0.5)
Long expressions in a return statement will now hang onto multiple lines if necessary
StyLua will now handle expressions in parentheses if they are long, by breaking them down further.
Added support for ambiguous syntax. StyLua will now keep the semicolon and format as required

Fixed

Fixed "then" and "do" tokens not being correctly indented when if-then and while-do statements are pushed onto multiple lines
Fixed incorrect newline formatting when a return type is present for an anonymous function in Luau
Fixed multiline expressions where the binop has a trailing comment being incorrectly formatted, breaking code
Fixed a trailing comment at the end of a whole binop expression unnecessarily forcing a hanging expression

0.3.0 - 2021-01-15

Added

StyLua will now test escapes of characters other than quotes in strings to see if they are unnecessary and remove them if so
Adds wrapping for large expressions to push them onto multiple lines. Statements with line of longer than 120 characters will trigger expression wrapping where possible. The expression will be split at its Binary Operators, excluding relational operators.

Fixed

Fixed .styluaignore file extension matching not working due to the default override glob
Cleaned up descriptions of options when running stylua --help
Fixed issue with stylua.toml requiring a complete configuration file with all options set
Fixed issue with escapes unrelated to quotes inside of strings not being preserved
Fixed incorrect formatting when trailing comments are present in function arguments and other locations. In function arguments, it will remain expanded if there is a comment present. Similarly, comments are now preserved in punctuated sequencues.

0.2.1 - 2021-01-03

Fixed

Fixed until token in a repeat block not being correctly indented
Fixed regression causing the first and last item of an expanded table to not be correctly indented

0.2.0 - 2020-12-31

Changed

Changed heuristics for expanding function arguments. StyLua will now check through the arguments and look out for expanded tables or anonymous functions, and if found, will not expand the function call. However, if there are any other type of expression mixed between, then the function call will remain expanded.
Change internals of the formatter by reducing amount of cloning of AST nodes. Improves performance by 22%

0.1.0 - 2020-12-30

Added

StyLua will now take into account if a table was originally expanded onto multiple lines. If so, StyLua won't attempt to collapse it
Added support for reading in from stdin for the CLI, use stylua - to make StyLua read from stdin, and a formatted output will be written to stdout
Added --check command line flag. If enabled, then StyLua will check through the files and emit a diff for files with incorrect formatting, exiting with status code 1. StyLua will not modifiy files
Renamed CLI argument --pattern to --glob (with short form -g). --glob can now accept multiple globs. For example, using stylua -g *.lua -g !*.spec.lua . will format all Lua files apart from .spec.lua test files.
Added support for parsing a .styluaignore file, which follows a similar structure to .gitignore files. Any patterns matched inside of this file will be ignored.

Changed

Changed when a table will expand onto new lines. It will now expand after 80 characters have been exceeded, and takes indent level into account

0.1.0-alpha.3 - 2020-12-26

Changed

Changed the default value of indent_width to 4
Function calls with a single argument will no longer wrap the argument onto a new line. This is subject to change.

Fixed

Fixed a new line being added after the until token in a repeat block. The new line is now added at the end of the until expression.
Fixed comments not being preserved within multiline tables
Fixed trailing comma being added after comments in multiline tables
Fixed escaping of double-quotes inside of strings being repeated
Fixed long tables for types collapsing onto a single line for Luau formatting
Fixed incorrect comment wrapping at the beginning of multiline tables
Fixed start brace of multiline comments not having correct indentation
Fixed comments having incorrect indentation when bound to the end token at the end of a block.

0.1.0-alpha.2 - 2020-12-22

Added

Single quote escapes are now removed from string literals if present when converting to double-quoted strings

Changed

If there is a single argument in a function call, and it is either a table or anonymous function, the relevant start/end tokens are no longer pushed onto new lines
Comments are now left completely unformatted, apart from trimming trailing whitespace at the end of single-line comments

Fixed

Double quotes are now escaped when converting from single quote to double quote strings

0.1.0-alpha - 2020-12-22
