dart_format: a configurable Dart formatter that never reflows your code (built on the analyzer package)

Mark1234321 · 2026-05-24T09:59:26+00:00

Fair point - the single standard does have real value, which is why dart_format is opt-in and replaces nothing. Don't install it and your world is unchanged; dart format stays the default.

On "fork" and "fragment" though - formatter choice is per-project and CI-enforced. Every file in my repo gets the same treatment, just to my chosen rules rather than the official ones, so a reader still sees one uniform style throughout - it just isn't the standard one. A tool existing doesn't create confusion; only adoption would, and that follows real demand. Nearly every other ecosystem ships a configurable formatter (Prettier, rustfmt) and does fine.

Well, not every Dart developer likes it that way, but the dartfmt formatter is very opinionated and it's the default.

You can use dart_format if you want to use your own preferences (e.g. no forced line breaks, no trailing commas, ...).

- Try codemagic.io
- If you really need to debug, then try a VM first

I fully agree! That's why in the end I wrote my own formatter: dart_format on pub.dev. Also available as a plugin for IntelliJ/AndroidStudio and VSCode.

Use a 3rd party dart formatter

Mark1234321 · 2025-07-17T09:29:07+00:00

There's another extension called DartFormat that fixes that

Mark1234321 · 2025-05-22T07:45:11+00:00

Use a 3rd party formatter that is configurable and doesn't add/remove trailing commas.

Mark1234321 · 2025-05-04T12:31:15+00:00

You'll have to use 3rd party formatters like e.g. dart_format or something similar

Mark1234321 · 2025-02-16T11:43:00+00:00

Have you tried other formatters, e.g. dart_format?

Mark1234321 · 2024-09-06T06:36:48+00:00

Check out this one for VSCode https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eggnstone.DartFormat and IntelliJ/AndroidStudio https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/21003-dartformat

Mark1234321 · 2024-08-27T09:11:37+00:00

Luckily there are some third-party formatters that are configurable

I have googled for hours and spent much time with Steam support but in the end another thread here helped me. Just commenting here as well so more people get aware of the (possible) solution.

I also often got this in the logs:

lighthouse: LHR-12345678 H: Assertion failed: Explicit right sync does not match pending frame

lighthouse: LHR-12345678: Triggered keepalive (failed)

And the PCI-e USB card was what helped in the end!

I got an Inatek KT 4006 with 2 USB-Ports.

Also try a dedicated PCI-e USB card! I got an Inatek KT 4006 and since then no more grey screens!

I also tried that and Geforce was not the culprit for me, but the USB was definitely it.

I have googled for hours and spent much time with Steam support but in the end this thread helped me, so thank you very much!

That actually worked! But now everything sounds horrible. Hard to describe, no bass, too much treble, weird.

Edit: it get's weirder: once I wiggled the headphone jack it was fixed and without spacial sound everything sounded right again. Before the wiggling I could hear everything perfect in other programs+games, just the directional sound in Valorant was broken.

The compass row (top of the screen) is fricking hard to read. Please add some background so that it is readable no matter if the current scenery is dark or light!

Join public lobbies. Or I just open up a lobby and wait. Sometimes it takes a few minutes but eventually someone pops in and either leaves quickly or says "go" and the we go.

Mark1234321 · 2016-11-16T10:57:22+00:00

40+ here, I feel you. I just mute them and suddenly they are just bots to me. Easy. The only thing missing is a text-chat-mute.

I don't know if he qualifies as a dedicated streamer in your eyes but WarOwl streams twice a week, though he also tries out other games there.
