Questions
What is EditorConfig?
EditorConfig helps maintain consistent coding styles across different editors and IDEs. It uses a simple .editorconfig file to define settings like indent style, indent size, end-of-line characters, and character encoding.
Which editors support EditorConfig?
Most modern editors support EditorConfig natively or via plugins, including VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA, Sublime Text, Vim, Emacs, and Atom. Check editorconfig.org for a full list of supported editors.
How is EditorConfig different from Prettier or ESLint?
EditorConfig sets basic file formatting (indentation, line endings, charset) at the editor level before you save. Prettier and ESLint handle code formatting and linting rules at build time. They complement each other well in a project.
Can I set different indent styles per file type?
Yes. EditorConfig supports glob patterns like [*.py] or [Makefile] to apply different rules per file type. For example, you can use 4-space indentation for Python and tabs for Makefiles in the same project.
Where should I place the .editorconfig file?
Place it in your project root. EditorConfig searches upward from the opened file until it finds a file with root = true. You can also place additional .editorconfig files in subdirectories to override parent settings.
