Formatting Code Automatically in CodeFlow

Why Code Formatting Matters

Consistent code formatting isn’t just about aesthetics — it improves readability, reduces merge conflicts, and helps teams maintain a unified coding style. With CodeFlow’s built-in automatic formatting, you can ensure that every file follows your team’s conventions, without manual intervention.

How Auto Formatting Works in CodeFlow

CodeFlow integrates a powerful formatting engine that supports multiple languages and styles. As you type, the formatter adjusts indentation, spacing, and syntax formatting in real time. You can also trigger a full document format with a single click or keyboard shortcut.

Key Features:

• Multi-language support: Format code in JavaScript, Python, Java, HTML, CSS, and more.
• Customizable rules: Adapt formatting to match your project’s style guide.
• Real-time adjustments: Watch your code snap into place as you type.
• One-click cleanup: Instantly format your entire file or project.

When Auto Formatting Saves the Day

Whether you’re onboarding new developers, collaborating with a large team, or rushing to meet a deadline, auto formatting ensures that code consistency never becomes a bottleneck. It’s especially useful in code review processes, where reviewers can focus on logic instead of style issues.

How to Enable Automatic Formatting

In CodeFlow, head to your Editor Settings and toggle Auto Format on. You can configure per-language rules or apply a global style for all projects. For quick cleanup, use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+F (Mac).
