Is there a way to enforce curly braces for if statements and loops in Kotlin, or even better, automatically add it (like the code formatter in Ktlint does)?

I noticed there are options in .editorconfig but it doesn't seem to do anything

ij_any_if_brace_force = always
ij_any_for_brace_force = always

Ktlint seems to have such options, but it's marked as experimental and it will only show warnings
What are other teams using for automated code formatting in Kotlin?

We only rely on IDEA doing it on the go since we only want to auto format on changed lines in a commit. Have not looked much around if that is possible with tools like Ktlint but I assume not.

how does one setup IDEA to do it, is this via .editorconfig or is there another place where you can set it up?

Code -> Reformat File -> Only VCS changed text

[spand]

We manually get people to set this setting

I think this is the behavior with Reformat code in the commit dialog

ah, under Version control, there are Before Commit options, i guess this is a good start
Thanks for the input!
