How do you use the knob?

[SBoudrias]

The documentation is very vague about this and doesn't gives any hint as to how you'd use them.

[bwendling]

Sorry, I'll change that. In the meantime, you can set up a .style.yapf in the base directory of your project. In it, you will have something like:

[style]
based_on_style = pep8
spaces_before_comment = 3

Each knob is listed with a description if you use yapf --style-help.

[SBoudrias]

Oh also, yapf expect specific ini section depending in which file we store it.

• [style] for .style.yapf
• [yapf] for config.cfg

The documentation is still very vague. Is based_on_style on "knob"? If so, why isn't it listed as such?

Yes i also stumbled over it. can you please clarify if the capital KNOBs can just be used with lower case letters?

If I am not wrong should not [yapf] for setup.cfg ? Thanks in advance :)

@vinnichase Yes, they can be :P

This still is unclear to me. So this works for a .styl.yapf file?

[style]
based_on_style = google
spaces_before_comment = 4
split_before_logical_operator = true

COLUMN_LIMIT = 100
SPACES_BEFORE_COMMENT = 3
