Is it possible tu use detekt as formatter instead of ktlint?

[chao]

I assume you mean to auto-correct code in case of violation.

[chao]

The answer would be not as of today, the only auto-correction are performed by detekt-formatting, which wraps around ktlint

[Big Chungus]

Well general formatting. Inserting spaces where needed, trimming loose whitespace, etc...

[Big Chungus]

Basically replicating ktlint formatter functionality

[chao]

detekt does not add additional support on top of ktlint , running detekt with --auto-correct option only performs the formatting that is already done by ktlint

[Big Chungus]

That's what I'm looking for! Thanks.

Would be good to have gradle tasks instead of flags for that, tho. Also I'm missing a task to setup git hooks that ktlint plugins provide

CLI option https://detekt.github.io/detekt/cli.html
Gradle option for autoCorrect seems missing in the document, but there is an autoCorrect property inside the detekt {}
