# Format The Current File Within Vim
|
|
|
|
I'm editing a `.re` file within Vim. I haven't yet wired up `refmt` to
|
|
something like [ALE](https://github.com/w0rp/ale) for automatic formatting
|
|
on save. By the time I'm done with my changes, indentation is a mess.
|
|
|
|
I can still take advantage of `refmt` to clean up my file.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:!refmt --in-place %
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Running that command in Vim will cause the current file to be formatted.
|
|
|
|
How does it work?
|
|
|
|
It shells-out to `refmt` which does all the heavy lifting. The `--in-place`
|
|
flag means that the target file will be re-written by the formatted result.
|
|
The `%` is a handy Vim shorthand for the path and name of the current file.
