Alejandra is a fast, opinionated code formatter for the Nix expression language, written in Rust. It enforces a comprehensive style guide derived from Nixpkgs conventions and integrates with common editors and pre-commit workflows.
Use cases
- format nix files automatically
- enforce a consistent nix code style across a team
- format nixpkgs quickly
- add nix formatting to pre-commit hooks
- format nix code in vscode or neovim
When to choose
- you write Nix and want a fast, reliable, opinionated formatter
- you need to format large codebases like Nixpkgs in seconds
- you want editor or pre-commit integration for Nix formatting
When to avoid
- you need a highly configurable formatter with many style options
- you don't work with the Nix language
