How to config the formatter to just reload the file after format instead of read from the output of the formatter ?

[Dangerise]

I'm using dioXus in my rust project, and I need to use the custom formatter from dioxus because of its special macro, but the output infomation will cover my source code, instead of the code after formatting

The formatter needs to output to stdout otherwise it won't work. Every formatter I ever encountered has an option for that.

Reloading the file from disk unsuited since that is essentially a race condition

@pascalkuthe
I found that dioxus has provide a way to support helix

now I'm trying to cargo fmt first and then do dx fmt

but It's seems that it has a problem

[Dangerise]

my formatter config

[[language]]
name = "rust"
formatter = { command = "bash", args = ["-c", "cargo fmt && dx fmt -f -"] }

[Dangerise]

all right, solved by

[[language]]
name = "rust"
formatter = { command = "bash", args = ["-c", "rustfmt | dx fmt -f -"] }

rustfmt requires specifying the edition of rust to be used. such as rustfmt --edition 2024
