Configuration File ​

Taplo supports configuration via file, unsurprisingly it uses the TOML format.

By default, every tool looks for one in the working directory or the root of the workspace by the following names (in precedence order):

• .taplo.toml
• taplo.toml

Include ​

The include property is an array of glob path strings that are relative to the working directory (or root of the workspace), the matched files are included in the operations by the tools unless explicitly overwritten. The pattern supports globstars (**) for recursive search.

If this property is omitted, TOML files will be searched in the entire child directory tree from the root.

include = ["Cargo.toml", "some_directory/**/*.toml"]

Exclude ​

The exclude property has the same semantics as include and takes precedence over it.

The following will exclude Cargo.toml from the includes written above, so files matching some_directory/**/*.toml will be included only.

exclude = ["Cargo.toml"]

Formatting Options ​

The formatting table contains optional formatting options for the formatter:

[formatting]
align_entries = false

Schema ​

The schema table consists of only two keys:

• path: the path of the schema, this can be either path to a local file or an URL with the schemes taplo, http or https. (file scheme is also accepted, it is the same as specifying a local path)
• enabled: whether to enable the schema or not (true if omitted).

An example:

[schema]
path = "./path/to/schema.json"
enabled = true

Or a configuration that uses a built-in schema:

[schema]
path = "taplo://taplo.toml"

Or a remote one:

[schema]
path = "https://example.com/my_schema.json"

Rules ​

The rule array of tables consist of rules that overwrite the above configuration based on some conditions. Thus it has the same formatting and schema settings, and the include and exclude with the same semantics as their global variants, however this time they are used to determine whether the rule applies.

Additionally, keys of a rule is an array of dotted keys that scope the rule to a specific part within a single document. The keys also support glob patterns.

Let's say we want to sort our Cargo dependencies, but nothing else, here is how we would do that:

[formatting]
reorder_keys = false

[[rule]]
include = ["**/Cargo.toml"]
keys = ["dependencies"]

[rule.formatting]
reorder_keys = true
