I would like the auto-formatter to help me keep the columns aligned 🤔

[Dico]

I would use formatter directives //@formatter:off //@formatter:on

[poohbar]

that would def work but then I would have to do the alignment manually

[Dico]

🤷🏻
Formatter can't do it all. Maybe they could add similar directives where you can make it use a different formatter

[poohbar]

yeah.. i know there is nothing you can do about it in java but kotlin can do pretty wicked stuff using extension function and lambda syntax, see this https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.html

[poohbar]

maybe i should just store it in database

[Dico]

But none of that can be used to format code in a table style.

You can make a DSL like

table {
columns("name", "age")
row {
    column["name"] = "poohbar"
}
}
