Sensible wrapping, where appropriate about javapoet

[JakeWharton]

It would be nice to have a way to opt-in to dumb-in-logic snippet wrapping. I see things like this a few places:

private Foo(Builder builder) {
  this(builder.a, builder.b, builder.c, builder.d, ..., builder.z);
}

This was exactly what I was looking for. Any updates on when to expect this. I'm using JavaPoet (which i love!) to automatically generate server stubs and clients for my project based on specifications.

There are times when things look a little messy, think builder pattern with a constructor with 10 arguments. Ideally, I was hoping to find something that can take checkstyle and automatically reformat based on our coding conventions, but it doesn't seem there is an appropriate solution for checkstyle auto formatting.

Is this enhancement still on your milestone list?

I can also try to take a shot at this with a pr.

Really difficult to do well. Some teams have recommended coupling JavaPoet with another code formatter.

[roykachouh]

I agree. That would be ideal as there can potentially be so many different code style preferences. Do you happen to know of any promising auto format tools out there? Googling has come up short for me so far.

@roykachouh Google has https://github.com/google/google-java-format specific to their style.

They released version 1.0 Alpha with an all-inclusive jar. Just include it in your project and add a last line like:

String formattedSource = new Formatter().formatSource(javapoetJavaFile.toString());
