What?
=====

This utility reformats and checks Python source code files.
However, when run in a Git repository, it only applies reformatting and reports errors
in regions which have changed in the Git working tree since the last commit.

The reformatters supported are:

- Black_ for code reformatting
- isort_ for sorting imports

See `Using linters`_ below for the list of supported linters.

To easily run Darker as a Pytest_ plugin, see pytest-darker_.

To integrate Darker with your IDE or with pre-commit_,
see the relevant sections below in this document.

.. _isort: https://github.com/timothycrosley/isort
.. _Pytest: https://docs.pytest.org/

Why?
====

You want to start unifying code style in your project using Black_.
Maybe you also like to standardize on how to order your imports,
or do static type checking or other static analysis for your code.

However, instead of formatting the whole code base in one giant commit,
you'd like to only change formatting when you're touching the code for other reasons.

This can also be useful
when contributing to upstream codebases that are not under your complete control.

Partial formatting is not supported by Black_ itself,
for various good reasons, and so far there hasn't been a plan to implemented it either
(`134`__, `142`__, `245`__, `370`__, `511`__, `830`__).
However, in September 2021 Black developers started to hint towards adding this feature
after all (`1352`__). This might at least simplify Darker's algorithm substantially.

__ https://github.com/psf/black/issues/134
__ https://github.com/psf/black/issues/142
__ https://github.com/psf/black/issues/245
__ https://github.com/psf/black/issues/370
__ https://github.com/psf/black/issues/511
__ https://github.com/psf/black/issues/830
__ https://github.com/psf/black/issues/1352

But for the time being, this is where ``darker`` enters the stage.
This tool is for those who want to do partial formatting right now.

Note that this tool is meant for special situations
when dealing with existing code bases.
You should just use Black_ and isort_ as is when starting a project from scratch.

You may also want to still consider whether reformatting the whole code base in one
commit would make sense in your particular case. You can ignore a reformatting commit
in ``git blame`` using the `blame.ignoreRevsFile`_ config option or ``--ignore-rev`` on
the command line. For a deeper dive into this topic, see `Avoiding ruining git blame`_
in Black documentation, or the article
`Why does Black insist on reformatting my entire project?`_ from `Łukasz Langa`_
(`@ambv`_, the creator of Black). Here's an excerpt:

    "When you make this single reformatting commit, everything that comes after is
    **semantic changes** so your commit history is clean in the sense that it actually
    shows what changed in terms of meaning, not style. There are tools like darker that
    allow you to only reformat lines that were touched since the last commit. However,
    by doing that you forever expose yourself to commits that are a mix of semantic
    changes with stylistic changes, making it much harder to see what changed."

How?
====

To install, use::

  pip install darker

Or, if you're using Conda_ for package management::

  conda install -c conda-forge darker isort

The ``darker <myfile.py>`` or ``darker <directory>`` command
reads the original file(s),
formats them using Black_,
combines original and formatted regions based on edits,
and writes back over the original file(s).

Alternatively, you can invoke the module directly through the ``python`` executable,
which may be preferable depending on your setup.
Use ``python -m darker`` instead of ``darker`` in that case.

By default, ``darker`` just runs Black_ to reformat the code.
You can enable additional features with command line options:

- ``-i`` / ``--isort``: Reorder imports using isort_. Note that isort_ must be
  run in the same Python environment as the packages to process, as it imports
  your modules to determine whether they are first or third party modules.
- ``-L <linter>`` / ``--lint <linter>``: Run a supported linter (see `Using linters`_)

*New in version 1.1.0:* The ``-L`` / ``--lint`` option.
*New in version 1.2.2:* Package available in conda-forge_.

.. _conda-forge: https://conda-forge.org/


Example
=======

This example walks you through a minimal practical use case for Darker.

First, create an empty Git repository:

.. code-block:: shell

   $ mkdir /tmp/test
   $ cd /tmp/test
   $ git init
   Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test/.git/

In the root of that directory, create the ill-formatted Python file ``our_file.py``:

.. code-block:: python

   if True: print('hi')
   print()
   if False: print('there')

Commit that file:

.. code-block:: shell

   $ git add our_file.py
   $ git commit -m "Initial commit"
   [master (root-commit) a0c7c32] Initial commit
    1 file changed, 3 insertions(+)
    create mode 100644 our_file.py

Now modify the first line in that file:

.. code-block:: python

   if True: print('CHANGED TEXT')
   print()
   if False: print('there')

You can ask Darker to show the diff for minimal reformatting
which makes edited lines conform to Black rules:

.. code-block:: diff

   $ darker --diff our_file.py
   --- our_file.py
   +++ our_file.py
   @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@
   -if True: print('CHANGED TEXT')
   +if True:
   +    print("CHANGED TEXT")
   print()
   if False: print('there')

Alternatively, Darker can output the full reformatted file
(works only when a single Python file is provided on the command line):

.. code-block:: shell

   $ darker --stdout our_file.py

.. code-block:: python

   if True:
       print("CHANGED TEXT")
   print()
   if False: print('there')

If you omit the ``--diff`` and ``--stdout`` options,
Darker replaces the files listed on the command line
with partially reformatted ones as shown above:

.. code-block:: shell

   $ darker our_file.py

Now the contents of ``our_file.py`` will have changed.
Note that the original ``print()`` and ``if False: ...`` lines have not been reformatted
since they had not been edited!

.. code-block:: python

   if True:
       print("CHANGED TEXT")
   print()
   if False: print('there')

You can also ask Darker to reformat edited lines in all Python files in the repository:

.. code-block:: shell

   $ darker .

Or, if you want to compare to another branch (or, in fact, any commit)
instead of the last commit:

.. code-block:: shell

   $ darker --revision master .


Customizing ``darker``, Black and isort behavior
================================================

Project-specific default options for ``darker``, Black_ and isort_
are read from the project's ``pyproject.toml`` file in the repository root.
isort_ also looks for a few other places for configuration.

Darker does honor exclusion options in Black configuration files when recursing
directories, but the exclusions are only applied to Black reformatting. Isort and
linters are still run on excluded files. Also, individual files explicitly listed on the
command line are still reformatted even if they match exclusion patterns.

For more details, see:

- `Black documentation about pyproject.toml`_
- `isort documentation about config files`_

The following `command line arguments`_ can also be used to modify the defaults:

-r REV, --revision REV
       Git revision against which to compare the working tree. Tags, branch names,
       commit hashes, and other expressions like ``HEAD~5`` work here. Also a range like
       ``master...HEAD`` or ``master...`` can be used to compare the best common
       ancestor. With the magic value ``:PRE-COMMIT:``, Darker works in pre-commit
       compatible mode. Darker expects the revision range from the
       ``PRE_COMMIT_FROM_REF`` and ``PRE_COMMIT_TO_REF`` environment variables. If those
       are not found, Darker works against ``HEAD``.
--diff
       Don't write the files back, just output a diff for each file on stdout. Highlight
       syntax if on a terminal and the ``pygments`` package is available, or if enabled
       by configuration.
-d, --stdout
       Force complete reformatted output to stdout, instead of in-place. Only valid if
       there's just one file to reformat. Highlight syntax if on a terminal and the
       ``pygments`` package is available, or if enabled by configuration.
--check
       Don't write the files back, just return the status. Return code 0 means nothing
       would change. Return code 1 means some files would be reformatted.
-i, --isort
       Also sort imports using the ``isort`` package
-L CMD, --lint CMD
       Also run a linter on changed files. ``CMD`` can be a name of path of the linter
       binary, or a full quoted command line. Highlight linter output syntax if on a
       terminal and the ``pygments`` package is available, or if enabled by
       configuration.
-c PATH, --config PATH
       Ask ``black`` and ``isort`` to read configuration from ``PATH``.
-v, --verbose
       Show steps taken and summarize modifications
-q, --quiet
       Reduce amount of output
--color
       Enable syntax highlighting even for non-terminal output. Overrides the
       environment variable PY_COLORS=0
--no-color
       Disable syntax highlighting even for terminal output. Overrides the environment
       variable PY_COLORS=1
-S, --skip-string-normalization
       Don't normalize string quotes or prefixes
--no-skip-string-normalization
       Normalize string quotes or prefixes. This can be used to override
       ``skip_string_normalization = true`` from a configuration file.
--skip-magic-trailing-comma
       Skip adding trailing commas to expressions that are split by comma where each
       element is on its own line. This includes function signatures. This can be used
       to override ``skip_magic_trailing_comma = true`` from a configuration file.
-l LENGTH, --line-length LENGTH
       How many characters per line to allow [default: 88]
-W WORKERS, --workers WORKERS
       How many parallel workers to allow, or ``0`` for one per core [default: 1]

To change default values for these options for a given project,
add a ``[tool.darker]`` section to ``pyproject.toml`` in the project's root directory.
For example:

.. code-block:: toml

   [tool.darker]
   src = [
       "src/mypackage",
   ]
   revision = "master"
   diff = true
   check = true
   isort = true
   lint = [
       "pylint",
   ]
   log_level = "INFO"

Be careful to not use options which generate output which is unexpected for
other tools. For example, VSCode only expects the reformat diff, so
``lint = [ ... ]`` can't be used with it.

Editor integration
==================

Many editors have plugins or recipes for integrating Black_.
You may be able to adapt them to be used with ``darker``.
See `editor integration`__ in the Black_ documentation.

__ https://github.com/psf/black/#editor-integration

PyCharm/IntelliJ IDEA
---------------------

1. Install ``darker``::

     $ pip install darker

2. Locate your ``darker`` installation folder.

   On macOS / Linux / BSD::

     $ which darker
     /usr/local/bin/darker  # possible location

   On Windows::

     $ where darker
     %LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\darker.exe  # possible location

3. Open External tools in PyCharm/IntelliJ IDEA

   - On macOS: ``PyCharm -> Preferences -> Tools -> External Tools``
   - On Windows / Linux / BSD: ``File -> Settings -> Tools -> External Tools``

4. Click the ``+`` icon to add a new external tool with the following values:

   - Name: Darker
   - Description: Use Black to auto-format regions changed since the last git commit.
   - Program: <install_location_from_step_2>
   - Arguments: ``"$FilePath$"``

   If you need any extra command line arguments
   like the ones which change Black behavior,
   you can add them to the ``Arguments`` field, e.g.::

       --config /home/myself/black.cfg "$FilePath$"

5. You can now format the currently opened file by selecting ``Tools -> External Tools -> Darker``
   or right clicking on a file and selecting ``External Tools -> Darker``

6. Optionally, set up a keyboard shortcut at
   ``Preferences or Settings -> Keymap -> External Tools -> External Tools - Darker``

7. Optionally, run ``darker`` on every file save:

   1. Make sure you have the `File Watcher`__ plugin installed.
   2. Go to ``Preferences or Settings -> Tools -> File Watchers`` and click ``+`` to add
      a new watcher:

      - Name: Darker
      - File type: Python
      - Scope: Project Files
      - Program: <install_location_from_step_2>
      - Arguments: ``$FilePath$``
      - Output paths to refresh: ``$FilePath$``
      - Working directory: ``$ProjectFileDir$``

   3. Uncheck "Auto-save edited files to trigger the watcher"

__ https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7177-file-watchers


Visual Studio Code
------------------

1. Install ``darker``::

     $ pip install darker

2. Locate your ``darker`` installation folder.

   On macOS / Linux / BSD::

     $ which darker
     /usr/local/bin/darker  # possible location

   On Windows::

     $ where darker
     %LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\darker.exe  # possible location

3. Add these configuration options to VS code, ``Cmd-Shift-P``, ``Open Settings (JSON)``::

    "python.formatting.provider": "black",
    "python.formatting.blackPath": "<install_location_from_step_2>",
    "python.formatting.blackArgs": [],

VSCode will always add ``--diff --quiet`` as arguments to Darker,
but you can also pass additional arguments in the ``blackArgs`` option
(e.g. ``["--isort", "--revision=master..."]``).
Be sure to *not* enable any linters here or in ``pyproject.toml``
since VSCode won't be able to understand output from them.

Note that VSCode first copies the file to reformat into a temporary
``<filename>.py.<hash>.tmp`` file, then calls Black (or Darker in this case) on that
file, and brings the changes in the modified files back into the editor.
Darker is aware of this behavior, and will correctly compare ``.py.<hash>.tmp`` files
to corresponding ``.py`` files from earlier repository revisions.


Vim
---

Unlike Black_ and many other formatters, ``darker`` needs access to the Git history.
Therefore it does not work properly with classical auto reformat plugins.

You can though ask vim to run ``darker`` on file save with the following in your
``.vimrc``:

.. code-block:: vim

   set autoread
   autocmd BufWritePost *.py silent :!darker %

- ``BufWritePost`` to run ``darker`` *once the file has been saved*,
- ``silent`` to not ask for confirmation each time,
- ``:!`` to run an external command,
- ``%`` for current file name.

Vim should automatically reload the file.

Emacs
-----

You can integrate with Emacs using Steve Purcell's `emacs-reformatter`__ library.

Using `use-package`__:

.. code-block:: emacs-lisp

    (use-package reformatter
      :hook ((python-mode . darker-reformat-on-save-mode))
      :config
      (reformatter-define darker-reformat
        :program "darker"
        :stdin nil
        :stdout nil
        :args (list "-q" input-file))


This will automatically reformat the buffer on save.

You have multiple functions available to launch it manually:

- darker-reformat
- darker-reformat-region
- darker-reformat-buffer

Using as a pre-commit hook
==========================

*New in version 1.2.1*

To use Darker locally as a Git pre-commit hook for a Python project,
do the following:

1. Install pre-commit_ in your environment
   (see `pre-commit Installation`_ for details).

2. Create a base pre-commit configuration::

       pre-commit sample-config >.pre-commit-config.yaml

3. Append to the created ``.pre-commit-config.yaml`` the following lines::

       -   repo: https://github.com/akaihola/darker
           rev: 1.6.0
           hooks:
           -   id: darker

4. install the Git hook scripts::

       pre-commit install

.. _pre-commit: https://pre-commit.com/
.. _pre-commit Installation: https://pre-commit.com/#installation


Using arguments
---------------

You can provide arguments, such as enabling isort, by specifying ``args``.
Note the inclusion of the isort Python package under ``additional_dependencies``::

   -   repo: https://github.com/akaihola/darker
       rev: 1.6.0
       hooks:
       -   id: darker
           args: [--isort]
           additional_dependencies:
           -   isort~=5.9


GitHub Actions integration
==========================

You can use Darker within a GitHub Actions workflow
without setting your own Python environment.
Great for enforcing that modifications and additions to your code
match the Black_ code style.

Compatibility
-------------

This action is known to support all GitHub-hosted runner OSes. In addition, only
published versions of Darker are supported (i.e. whatever is available on PyPI).

Usage
-----

Create a file named ``.github/workflows/darker.yml`` inside your repository with:

.. code-block:: yaml

   name: Lint

   on: [push, pull_request]

   jobs:
     lint:
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - uses: actions/checkout@v3
           with:
             fetch-depth: 0 
         - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
         - uses: akaihola/darker@1.6.0
           with:
             options: "--check --diff --color"
             revision: "master..."
             src: "./src"
             version: "1.6.0"
             lint: "flake8,pylint==2.13.1"

There needs to be a working Python environment, set up using ``actions/setup-python``
in the above example. Darker will be installed in an isolated virtualenv to prevent
conflicts with other workflows.

``"uses:"`` specifies which Darker release to get the GitHub Action definition from.
We recommend to pin this to a specific release.
``"version:"`` specifies which version of Darker to run in the GitHub Action.
It defaults to the same version as in ``"uses:"``,
but you can force it to use a different version as well.
Darker versions available from PyPI are supported, as well as commit SHAs or branch
names, prefixed with an ``@`` symbol (e.g. ``version: "@master"``).

The ``revision: "master..."`` (or ``"main..."``) option instructs Darker
to compare the current branch to the branching point from main branch
when determining which source code lines have been changed.
If omitted, the Darker GitHub Action will determine the commit range automatically.

``"src:"`` defines the root directory to run Darker for.
This is typically the source tree, but you can use ``"."`` (the default)
to also reformat Python files like ``"setup.py"`` in the root of the whole repository.

You can also configure other arguments passed to Darker via ``"options:"``.
It defaults to ``"--check --diff --color"``.
You can e.g. add ``"--isort"`` to sort imports, or ``"--verbose"`` for debug logging.

To run linters through Darker, you can provide a comma separated list of linters using
the ``lint:`` option. Only ``flake8``, ``pylint`` and ``mypy`` are supported.
Versions can be constrained using ``pip`` syntax, e.g. ``"flake8>=3.9.2"``.

*New in version 1.1.0:*
GitHub Actions integration. Modeled after how Black_ does it,
thanks to Black authors for the example!

*New in version 1.4.1:*
The ``revision:`` option, with smart default value if omitted.

*New in version 1.5.0:*
The ``lint:`` option.


.. _Using linters:

Using linters
=============

One way to use Darker is to filter linter output to modified lines only.
Darker supports any linter with output in one of the following formats::

    <file>:<linenum>: <description>
    <file>:<linenum>:<col>: <description>

Most notably, the following linters/checkers have been verified to work with Darker:

- Mypy_ for static type checking
- Pylint_ for generic static checking of code
- Flake8_ for style guide enforcement
- `cov_to_lint.py`_ for test coverage

*New in version 1.1.0:* Support for Mypy_, Pylint_, Flake8_ and compatible linters.

*New in version 1.2.0:* Support for test coverage output using `cov_to_lint.py`_.

To run a linter, use the ``--lint`` / ``-L`` command line option:

  - ``-L mypy``: do static type checking using Mypy_
  - ``-L pylint``: analyze code using Pylint_
  - ``-L flake8``: enforce the Python style guide using Flake8_
  - ``-L cov_to_lint.py``: read ``.coverage`` and list non-covered modified lines

Darker also groups linter output into blocks of consecutive lines
separated by blank lines.
Here's an example of `cov_to_lint.py`_ output::

    $ darker --revision 0.1.0.. --check --lint cov_to_lint.py src

Syntax highlighting
===================

Darker automatically enables syntax highlighting for the ``--diff``,
``-d``/``--stdout`` and ``-L``/``--lint`` options if it's running on a terminal and the
Pygments_ package is installed.

You can force enable syntax highlighting on non-terminal output using

- the ``color = true`` option in the ``[tool.darker]`` section of ``pyproject.toml`` of
  your Python project's root directory,
- the ``PY_COLORS=1`` environment variable, and
- the ``--color`` command line option for ``darker``.
  
You can force disable syntax highlighting on terminal output using

- the ``color = false`` option in ``pyproject.toml``,
- the ``PY_COLORS=0`` environment variable, and
- the ``--no-color`` command line option.

In the above lists, latter configuration methods override earlier ones, so the command
line options always take highest precedence.

How does it work?
=================

Darker takes a ``git diff`` of your Python files,
records which lines of current files have been edited or added since the last commit.
It then runs Black_ and notes which chunks of lines were reformatted.
Finally, only those reformatted chunks on which edited lines fall (even partially)
are applied to the edited file.

Also, in case the ``--isort`` option was specified,
isort_ is run on each edited file before applying Black_.
Similarly, each linter requested using the `--lint <command>` option is run,
and only linting errors/warnings on modified lines are displayed.

Interesting code formatting and analysis projects to watch
==========================================================

The following projects are related to Black_ or Darker in some way or another.
Some of them we might want to integrate to be part of a Darker run.

- blacken-docs__ – Run Black_ on Python code blocks in documentation files
- blackdoc__ – Run Black_ on documentation code snippets
- velin__ – Reformat docstrings that follow the numpydoc__ convention
- diff-cov-lint__ – Pylint and coverage reports for git diff only
- xenon__ – Monitor code complexity
- pyupgrade__ – Upgrade syntax for newer versions of the language (see `#51`_)
- yapf_ – Google's Python formatter
- yapf_diff__ – apply yapf_ or other formatters to modified lines only
