Description

There is a good proverb that I like:

Why write a program that throws lint errors when it can correct the code?

Last night, this idea rattled out of my head and it goes like this; combine the awareness of SublimeLinter with the formatters of CodeFormatter

  1. on_post_save, format code into memory or temporary file
  2. Diff original code against formatted code
  3. Show gutter warnings and highlight lines that vary based on diff
  4. Allow user to take action and apply diff to that section of code

Here is a mocked prototype I wrote:

Research direction
Explore the existing code formatter plugin to understand how formatting is applied. Investigate SublimeLinter's gutter markers and how to integrate diff based highlighting. Look into the `on post save` event and temporary file handling.
