Formatting Clojure code

The Clojure Style Guide is a very complete guide to the best practices in writing Clojure code, ensuring it is as easy as possible to read and maintain by Clojure developers.

Spacemacs Clojure layer will carry out basic formatting as you type using .

• RET the cursor correctly indents on new lines.
• TAB key will left align the current line of code or selected region.

Recommended Formatting configuration

These are the recommended settings to add to the dotspacemacs/user-config section of .spacemacs

(add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook #'aggressive-indent-mode)
(setq clojure-indent-style 'align-arguments)
(setq clojure-align-forms-automatically t)
