Hi all,

I would like to have my templates formatted upon user selection (i.e. user presses enter).
In the Java preferences for templates, there is a check box "use code formatter" that does this.
Is there a way to this in XText (ex. by calling auto formatting, ...)?

Many thanks,
Nuno

Hi,

by just having a look at the code.

did you try the same a jdt does. hook into org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.templates.XtextTemplateContext.evaluate(Template)
and do the formatting there. e.g. by calling the serializer with formatting

include the new class by overriding
org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.templates.AbstractTemplateProposalProvider.doCreateTemplateContext(TemplateContextType, ContentAssistContext)

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I have defined MyXtextTemplateContext (which extends XtextTemplateContext) and added it by overriding the doCreateTemplateContext(...)

But I still don't see how I can format my template's text (buffer.getString()) using the serializer in the evaluate() method...

Thanks again for your help

I just gave you a starting hint. Maybe simply parse and reserialze
the snippet?

Maybe you can file an enhancement for that. Or simply preformat the
templates in the editor
