dprint-plugin-goat

dprint-plugin-goat provides three formatter plugins for dprint: one for Go files using Go's canonical formatter, one for shell scripts using shfmt, and one for Terraform/HCL files using HashiCorp's hclwrite. All are compiled to WebAssembly with TinyGo and plug into dprint like any other plugin.

Why?

Using dprint plugins lets you keep a single, consistent formatting workflow across polyglot repos. The gofmt plugin applies go/format so your Go code follows the exact same rules as gofmt, the shfmt plugin formats shell scripts with the same power as the standalone shfmt tool, and the tffmt plugin formats Terraform and HCL files using the same logic as terraform fmt.

Usage

gofmt

Add the gofmt plugin to your dprint configuration to format Go files.
