Configuring formatters

[zmitchell]

Hi, I noticed that the default formatter for Nix code is alejandra. There is an official formatter now called nixfmt and I'd like to use that instead. It doesn't look like this is configurable by an end user at the moment. Do I have that right?

Nevermind 🤦 As soon as I post this I discovered the Edit file type configuration in the menu.

If you have suggestions for better defaults for any of the formatters or language servers, I'm always happy to hear about them. I don't follow developments for every single language the flow supports.

Of course! nixfmt is now the official formatter for Nix: https://github.com/NixOS/nixfmt

nixfmt doesn't seem to build in archlinux at the moment, so I'm not going to change the default just yet. If you open a feature request though I'll be reminded to check again sometime in the future.
