# This will remain like this if using YASStyle
index = zeros(n <= typemax(Int8)  ? Int8  :
              n <= typemax(Int16) ? Int16 :
              n <= typemax(Int32) ? Int32 : Int64, n)

# Using DefaultStyle
index = zeros(
    n <= typemax(Int8)  ? Int8  :
    n <= typemax(Int16) ? Int16 :
    n <= typemax(Int32) ? Int32 : Int64,
    n,
)

# Note even if the maximum margin is set to 1, the alignment remains intact
index =
    zeros(
        n <= typemax(Int8)  ? Int8  :
        n <= typemax(Int16) ? Int16 :
        n <= typemax(Int32) ? Int32 : Int64,

    annotate_untyped_fields_with_any::Bool = true
    format_docstrings::Bool                = false
    align_struct_fields::Bool              = false

    # no custom whitespace so this block is not aligned
    another_field1::BlahBlahBlah = 10
    field2::Foo = 10

    # no custom whitespace but single line blocks are not aligned
    # either way
    Options() = new()
end


mutable struct Foo
    a             :: T
    longfieldname :: T
end
```

--------------------------------

### Nesting Example

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable/how_it_works

```julia
begin
    foo = funccall(argument1, argument2, ..., argument120) # way over margin limit !!!
end

begin
    foo = funccall(
        argument1,
        argument2,
        ...,
        argument120
    ) # way over margin limit !!!
end
```

--------------------------------

### Ambiguous Alignment Example

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable/custom_alignment

Shows a case where the formatter will not apply custom alignment due to uniform spacing, reverting to normal formatting behavior.

```julia
const variable1 = 1
const variable2 = 2

const var4 = 4
const var5 = 5
```

--------------------------------

### FST Transformation Example

# original source
try a1;a2 catch e b1;b2 finally c1;c2 end

-> 

# printed FST
try
   a1
   a2
catch e
   b1
   b2
finally
   c1
   c2
end
```

--------------------------------

### binaryop_to_whereop

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable/api

Transforms a specific nested Binary AST structure into a preferred 'where' clause structure for function definitions.

```APIDOC
## binaryop_to_whereop - Method

### Description
Handles the case of a function def defined as:
```
foo(a::A)::R where A = body
```

In this case instead of it being parsed as (1):
```
Binary
 - Where
 - OP
 - RHS
```

It's parsed as (2):
```
Binary
 - Binary
  - LHS
  - OP
  - Where
   - R
   - ...
 - OP
 - RHS
```

(1) is preferrable since it's the same parsed result as:
```
foo(a::A) where A = body
```

This transformation converts (2) to (1).

```

--------------------------------

### Align Matrix Elements (`align_matrix=true`)

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable/custom_alignment

Set `align_matrix` to `true` to preserve whitespace surrounding matrix elements as they appear in the original source. This differs from other alignment options as it does not attempt to auto-detect and adjust alignment.

```julia
# Elements left-aligned in original source
julia> s = """
a = [
100 300 400
1   eee 40000
2   α   b
]"""
"a = [\n100 300 400\n1   eee 40000\n2   α   b\n]"

julia> format_text(s, align_matrix=true) |> print
a = [
    100 300 400
    1   eee 40000
    2   α   b
]

# Elements right-aligned in original source
julia> s = """
a = [
100 300   400
  1  ee 40000
  2   a     b
]"""
"a = [\n100 300   400\n  1  ee 40000\n  2   a     b\n]"

julia> 

julia> format_text(s, align_matrix=true) |> print
a = [
    100 300   400
      1  ee 40000
      2   a     b
]

```

--------------------------------

### Nest 'where' Clauses

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable/style

With `where` clauses, the main expression is nested prior to the `where` part, and further nesting occurs within the clause if necessary.

```julia
function f(arg1::A, key1 = val1; key2 = val2) where {A,B,C}
    body
end

->

function f(
    arg1::A,
    key1 = val1;
    key2 = val2,
) where {A,B,C}
    body
end

-> 

function f(
    arg1::A,
    key1 = val1;
    key2 = val2,
) where {
    A,
    B,
    C,
}
    body
end
```

--------------------------------

### Check Formatting Verbose

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable/cli

Check if files in a directory are already formatted. The verbose flag (`-v`) provides more detailed output.

```bash
jlfmt --check -v src/
```

--------------------------------

### SciMLStyle yas_style_nesting option

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable/sciml_style

Illustrates the effect of the `yas_style_nesting` option on function definition formatting. When false (default), arguments are indented based on line length. When true, it adopts YASStyle nesting rules for consistent indentation.

```julia
# With `yas_style_nesting = false`
function my_large_function(argument1, argument2,
        argument3, argument4,
        argument5, x, y, z)
    foo(x) + goo(y)
end

# With `yas_style_nesting = true`
function my_large_function(argument1, argument2,
                           argument3, argument4,
                           argument5, x, y, z)
    foo(x) + goo(y)
end
```

--------------------------------

### Format line endings with normalize_line_endings

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable

Normalizes line endings in a file. Use 'unix' to convert all to '\n', 'windows' to convert all to '\r\n', or 'auto' to detect the most common line ending.

```julia
"auto"
```

--------------------------------

### Use YAS style nesting for functions

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable

When true, the SciMLStyle uses YASStyle nesting rules, which can lead to different indentation for function arguments.

```julia
# With `yas_style_nesting = false`
function my_large_function(argument1, argument2,
    argument3, argument4,
    argument5, x, y, z)
    foo(x) + goo(y)
end

# With `yas_style_nesting = true`
function my_large_function(argument1, argument2,
                           argument3, argument4,
                           argument5, x, y, z)
    foo(x) + goo(y)
end
```

--------------------------------

### SciMLStyle variable_call_indent option

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable/sciml_style

Demonstrates how the `variable_call_indent` option affects call formatting within the SciMLStyle. By default, it is an empty list, allowing calls to align with the opening parenthesis.

```julia
# Allowed with and without `Dict in variable_call_indent`
Dict{Int, Int}(1 => 2,
    3 => 4)

# Allowed when `Dict in variable_call_indent`, but
# will be changed to the first example when `Dict ∉ variable_call_indent`.

    1 => 2,
    3 => 4)
```

--------------------------------

### add_node!

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable/api

Appends a new node `n` to an existing FST node `t` with configurable line joining and padding behavior.

```APIDOC
## add_node! - Method

### Description
Appends `n` to `t`.
  * `join_lines` if `false` a NEWLINE node will be added and `n` will appear on the next line, otherwise it will appear on the same line as the previous node (when printing).
  * `max_padding` >= 0 indicates margin of `t` should be based on whether the margin of `n` + `max_padding` is greater than the current margin of `t`. Otherwise the margin `n` will be added to `t`.
  * `override_join_lines_based_on_source` is only used when `join_lines_based_on_source` option is `true`. In which `n` is added to `t` as if `join_lines_based_on_source` was false.

### Method
```julia
add_node!(
    t::FST,
    n::FST,
    s::State;
    join_lines::Bool = false,

```julia
FST
```

--------------------------------

### Disable Formatting for an Entire File

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable/skipping_formatting

Place `#! format: off` at the top of a file to prevent any formatting for the entire file. The formatter requires the directive to be on its own line with exact whitespace.

```julia
#! format: off
#
# It doesn't actually matter if it's on
# the first line of the line but anything
# onwards will NOT be formatted.

module Foo
...
end
```

--------------------------------

### Nest Function Call Arguments

Source: https://domluna.github.io/JuliaFormatter.jl/stable/style
