Hello everyone, I’m new to emacs and cider and after the initial setup I’m actually liking it much better than atom. The only issue I’m having is with pretty print. When I print a large map it doesn’t have a new line between keys which makes it a pain to read. I wanted to try puget or fipp but I’m not understanding how to change the configuration.

I have read the docs here: http://cider.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/

have you toggled pretty printing?

also, you can set the width to print if you like

yes that works but I have’t figured how to change it from the built in pprint

This is what my output looks like ' {:arglists ([xs]), :doc "Casts to bytes[]", :added "1.1", :line 5149, :column 1, :file "clojure/core.clj", :name bytes, :ns #namespace[clojure.core], :inline #function[clojure.core/bytes--5400]}, refer-clojure {:arglists ([& filters]), :doc "Same as (refer 'clojure.core <filters>)", :added "1.0", :line 5611, :column 1, :file "clojure/core.clj", :name refer-clojure, :ns #namespace[clojure.core], :macro true}, escape-class-name {:private true, :arglists ([c]), :line 64, :column 1, :file "clojure/genclass.clj", :name escape-class-name, :ns #namespace[clojure.core]}}'

and you don't want it to put each key on a new line?

I want it to look like ` :inline #function[clojure.core/bytes--5400]}, refer-clojure {:arglists ([& filters]), :doc "Same as (refer 'clojure.core <filters>)", :added "1.0", :line 5611, :column 1, :file "clojure/core.clj", :name refer-clojure, :ns #namespace[clojure.core], :macro true}, escape-class-name {:private true, :arglists ([c]), :line 64, :column 1, :file "clojure/genclass.clj", :name escape-class-name, :ns #namespace[clojure.core]}`

sorry I mean a new line separating the keys

In that example a new line before the escape-class-name keyword

you want key newline value ?

i really don't follow what you want sorry

refer-clojure
  {:arglists ([& filters]),
    :doc "Same as (refer 'clojure.core <filters>)",
    :added "1.0",
    :line 5611,
    :column 1,
    :file "clojure/core.clj",
    :name refer-clojure,
    :ns #namespace[clojure.core],
    :macro true},

 escape-class-name
   {:private true,
    :arglists ([c]),
    :line 64,
    :column 1,
    :file "clojure/genclass.clj",
    :name escape-class-name,
    :ns #namespace[clojure.core]}}

Sorry I had to figure out the slack keybindings

that is what I’m trying to achieve but right now it looks like this

refer-clojure
{:arglists ([& filters]),
 :doc "Same as (refer 'clojure.core <filters>)",
 :added "1.0",
 :line 5611,
 :column 1,
 :file "clojure/core.clj",
 :name refer-clojure,
 :ns #namespace[clojure.core],
 :macro true},
escape-class-name
{:private true,
 :arglists ([c]),
 :line 64,
 :column 1,
 :file "clojure/genclass.clj",
 :name escape-class-name,
 :ns #namespace[clojure.core]}}’

try your luck with fipp

Yea i couldn’t figure out where to put ` (setq cider-pprint-fn “fipp”)` but I figured it out. It goes in /.spacemacs under user/init right

wherever you like to keep you config stuff

i don't know where spacemacs puts that

but that sounds right

~/.spacemacs is the default directory for Spacemacs, it's the equivalent of .emacs.d in emacs.
