EditorConfig Visual Studio Addin

EditorConfig Visual Studio Plugin

This plugin causes Visual Studio to load its indentation options from a standard .editorconfig settings file. See the project web site for more information.

Installing

This plugin works with Visual Studio 2010 or later. The easiest way to install it is through Visual Studio's built-in Extension Manager. Just search for "EditorConfig" in the Online Gallery section. Or, download a copy from the Visual Studio gallery website.

Building

To build this software, first download and build the EditorConfig core library in the Core directory. To automatically download the core library, use the git command:

git submodule update --init

Follow the build instructions for the core library as normal, but include the -DMSVC_MD=ON option when invoking CMake:

cd Core/
cmake . -DMSVC_MD=ON

Once the core library is built, open the solution file EditorConfig.VisualStudio.sln and compile the plugin.

You will need to install the Visual Studio 2010 SDK explicitly since its the last version built against .NET 4.0 and some referenced assemblies might resolve the later SDK requiring .NET 4.5.

The resulting plugin is named Plugin/bin/(Debug|Release)/EditorConfigPlugin.vsix, and double-clicking installs it into Visual Studio.

Supported properties

The plugin supports the following EditorConfig properties:

• indent_style
• indent_size
• tab_width
• end_of_line
• insert_final_newline
• trim_trailing_whitespace
• root (only used by EditorConfig core)
