Hi everyone, when I integrate Ktlint to my project and testing it. I found that this coding convention from Kotlin (here) not detect by the Ktlint. What I had try is to add the companion object at the beginning of the class, which should be at the end of the class, and it pass.

I don’t know if I miss understand about the Ktlint, from what I understand is that Ktlint out of the box check the Kotlin convention too. If it’s not, do you have any suggestion about any tools I can use to follow Kotlin convention like I mentioned before? Thanks

I’m using the Ktlint gradle plugin here

yeah it's just missing functionality, you could use detekt, they have this rule, but there's no autocorrect, just linting

if that’s the case, then what Ktlint brought to developers then? from what I see in the website, it only covers really a trivial things, like the new line at the end of the class, extra space, order of modifiers, is it really just that?

You can check readme https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint#standard-rules and https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint#experimental-rules (might not be up-to-date though)
