HTTP server to format Scala code from text editors (like vim)

Why

scalafmt starts slowly (as any JVM-based app) and nailgun is buggy and unmaintaned (?)

That’s sad

Usage

Unpack and run the server

sbt universal:packageZipTarball
tar xzf target/universal/scalafmt-server-*.tgz
scalafmt-server-*/scalafmt-server.sh 8899 &

If you’re using vim-autoformat:

let g:formatdef_scalafmt = "'path/to/scalafmt-client.sh 8899'"
let g:formatters_scala = ['scalafmt']
au BufWrite *.scala :Autoformat
