Integrations

cljstyle can be integrated into a number of different tools.

ZSH

If you use zsh as your shell, you can add completion for cljstyle by placing the completion file somewhere on your $fpath and naming it _cljstyle. This will complete the commands and tool options.

Vim

vim-codefmt

cljstyle is supported by vim-codefmt. Once you have vim-codefmt installed, you can set it to use cljstyle for Clojure code like this:

autocmd FileType clojure AutoFormatBuffer cljstyle

Manual

For a simple vim integration you can use the following function to reformat the current buffer:

" Add to file for vim or neovim:
" ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/clojure.vim
" ~/.config/nvim/after/ftplugin/clojure.vim

" NOTE: typically you'd set these to use a formatter, but in this case it fails
" since cljstyle usually can't run on partial forms.
"setlocal equalprg=cljstyle\ pipe
"setlocal formatprg=cljstyle\ pipe

function CljstyleFix()
    let cwd = getcwd()
    let winsave = winsaveview()
    execute "cd" . expand('%:p:h')

    :%!cljstyle pipe

    execute "cd" . cwd
    call winrestview(winsave)
endfunction

" Example shortcut to fix the current file
nnoremap <leader>cs :call CljstyleFix()<cr>

You can also put the function in autoload/cljstyle.vim and name it cljstyle#fix() if you prefer lazy-loading behavior.

Emacs

The cljstyle-mode project offers a cljstyle integration for Emacs users.

Doom Emacs

cljstyle pipe can be used with Doom's editor/format module. Add the following to your Doom config.el to replace Doom's default Clojure formatter with cljstyle:

(set-formatter! 'cljstyle "cljstyle pipe" :modes '(clojure-mode))

Leiningen

Cljstyle may be used from Leiningen by adding cljstyle as a dependency and running the main namespace:

:aliases
{"cljstyle" ["with-profile" "+cljstyle" "run" "-m" "cljstyle.main"]}

:profiles
{:cljstyle
 {:dependencies
  [[mvxcvi/cljstyle "0.17.642" :exclusions [org.clojure/clojure]]]}}

Alternately, you can run it directly from the command line:

lein update-in :dependencies \
    conj '[mvxcvi/cljstyle "0.17.642" :exclusions [org.clojure/clojure]]' \
    -- run -m cljstyle.main \
    check

tools.deps

If you would like to use cljstyle without installing the binary, you can run it directly with clj:

clj -Sdeps '{:deps {mvxcvi/cljstyle {:mvn/version "0.17.642"}}}' \
    -M -m cljstyle.main \
    check

CircleCI

To keep your code well styled, you can run cljstyle as part of a CircleCI workflow. The following job snippet will fetch the tool and check your sources:

style:
  executor: clojure
  steps:
    - checkout
    - run:
        name: Install cljstyle
        environment:
          CLJSTYLE_VERSION: 0.17.642
          CLJSTYLE_PLATFORM: linux_amd64
        command: |
          wget https://github.com/greglook/cljstyle/releases/download/${CLJSTYLE_VERSION}/cljstyle_${CLJSTYLE_VERSION}_${CLJSTYLE_PLATFORM}.zip
          unzip cljstyle_${CLJSTYLE_VERSION}_${CLJSTYLE_PLATFORM}.zip
    - run:
        name: Check style
        command: "./cljstyle check --report"

This assumes you have defined a common executor configuration named clojure.
