Standard rules

Annotation formatting¶

Multiple annotations should be on a separate line than the annotated declaration; annotations with parameters should each be on separate lines; annotations should be followed by a space

Ktlint Disallowed

// A single annotation (without parameters) is allowed on same line as annotated construct
@FunctionalInterface class FooBar {
    @JvmField var foo: String
    @Test fun bar() {}
}
// A class or function parameter may have a single annotation with parameter(s) on the same line
class Foo(@Path("fooId") val fooId: String)
class Bar(
    @NotNull("fooId") val fooId: String,
    @NotNull("bar") bar: String
)
// Multiple annotations (without parameters) are allowed on the same line
@Foo @Bar
class FooBar {
    @Foo @Bar
    var foo: String
    @Foo @Bar
    fun bar() {}
}
// An array of annotations (without parameters) is allowed on same line as annotated construct
@[Foo Bar] class FooBar2 {
    @[Foo Bar] var foo: String
    @[Foo Bar] fun bar() {}
}

// An annotation with parameter(s) is not allowed on same line as annotated construct
@Suppress("Unused") class FooBar {
    @Suppress("Unused") var foo: String
    @Suppress("Unused") fun bar() {}
}
// Multiple annotation on same line as annotated construct are not allowed
@Foo @Bar class FooBar {
    @Foo @Bar var foo: String
    @Foo @Bar fun bar() {}
}

Rule-id: annotation (standard rule set)

Argument list wrapping¶

All arguments should be on the same line, or every argument should be on a separate line.

Ktlint Disallowed

val x = f(
    a,
    b,
    c
)

val x = f(
    a,
    b, c
)

Rule-id: argument-list-wrapping (standard rule set)

Block comment initial star alignment¶

Lines in a block comment which (exclusive the indentation) start with a * should have this * aligned with the * in the opening of the block comment.

Ktlint Disallowed

/*
 * This comment is formatted well.
 */

/*
      * This comment is not formatted well.
    */

Rule id: block-comment-initial-star-alignment (standard rule set)

Chain wrapping¶

When wrapping chained calls ., ?. and ?: should be placed on the next line

Ktlint Disallowed

val foo = listOf(1, 2, 3)
    .filter { it > 2 }!!
    .takeIf { it.count() > 100 }
    ?.sum()
val foobar = foo()
    ?: bar

val foo = listOf(1, 2, 3).
    filter { it > 2 }!!.
    takeIf { it.count() > 100 }?.
    sum()
val foobar = foo() ?:
    bar

Rule id: chain-wrapping (standard rule set)

Class/object naming¶

Enforce naming of class.

Ktlint Ktlint JUnit Test Disallowed

class Foo
class Foo1

@Nested
inner class `Some descriptive class name` {
    @Test
    fun `Some descriptive test name`() {
        // do something
    }
}

class foo
class Foo_Bar
class `Some class in the production code`

Note

Functions in files which import a class from package org.junit.jupiter.api are considered to be test functions and are allowed to have a name specified between backticks and do not need to adhere to the normal naming convention. Although, the Kotlin coding conventions does not allow this explicitly for class identifiers, ktlint does allow it.

This rule can also be suppressed with the IntelliJ IDEA inspection suppression ClassName.

Rule id: class-naming (standard rule set)

Enum entry¶

Enum entry names should be uppercase underscore-separated or upper camel-case separated.

Ktlint Disallowed

enum class Bar {
    FOO,
    Foo,
    FOO_BAR,
    FooBar
}

enum class Bar {
    foo,
    bAr,
    Foo_Bar,
}

Rule id: enum-entry-name-case (standard rule set)

File name¶

A file containing only one visible (e.g. non-private) class, and visible declarations related to that class only, should be named according to that element. The same applies if the file does not contain a visible class but exactly one type alias or one object declaration. Otherwise, the PascalCase notation should be used.

Rule id: filename (standard rule set)

Final newline¶

Ensures consistent usage of a newline at the end of each file.

This rule can be configured with .editorconfig property insert_final_newline.

Rule id: final-newline (standard rule set)

Import ordering¶

Ensures that imports are ordered consistently (see Import Layouts for configuration).

Ktlint Disallowed

import com.bar.Bar
import com.foo.Foo
import org.foo.bar.FooBar
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap

import com.bar.Bar
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap
import org.foo.bar.FooBar
import com.foo.Foo

Rule id: import-ordering (standard rule set)

Indentation¶

Indentation formatting - respects .editorconfig indent_size with no continuation indent (see EditorConfig section for more).

Ktlint Disallowed

fun main() {
    foobar(
        a,
        b,
        c
    )
}

fun main() {
    foobar(
          a,
          b,
          c
          )
}

Note

This rule handles indentation for many different language constructs which can not be summarized with a few examples. See the unit tests for more details.

Rule id: indent (standard rule set)

Ktlint-suppression rule¶

The ktlint-disable and ktlint-enable directives are no longer supported as of ktlint version 0.50.0. This rule migrates the directives to Suppress or SuppressWarnings annotations.

Identifiers in the @Suppress and @SuppressWarnings annotations to suppress ktlint rules are checked for validity and autocorrected when possible.

Ktlint Disallowed

@file:Suppress("ktlint:standard:no-wildcard-imports")

class FooBar {
    @Suppress("ktlint:standard:max-line-length")
    val foo = "some longggggggggggggggggggg text"

    fun bar() =
        @Suppress("ktlint:standard:no-multi-spaces")
        listOf(
            "1   One", 
            "10  Ten", 
            "100 Hundred", 
        )
}

/* ktlint-disable standard:no-wildcard-imports */

class FooBar {
    val foo = "some longggggggggggggggggggg text" // ktlint-disable standard:max-line-length

    fun bar() =
        listOf(
            /* ktlint-disable standard:no-multi-spaces */
            "1   One", 
            "10  Ten", 
            "100 Hundred", 
            /* ktlint-enable standard:no-multi-spaces */
        )
}

Rule id: ktlint-suppression (standard rule set)

Note

This rule can not be disabled in the .editorconfig.

Max line length¶

Ensures that lines do not exceed the given length of .editorconfig property max_line_length (see EditorConfig section for more). This rule does not apply in a number of situations. For example, in the case a line exceeds the maximum line length due to a comment that disables ktlint rules then that comment is being ignored when validating the length of the line. The .editorconfig property ktlint_ignore_back_ticked_identifier can be set to ignore identifiers which are enclosed in backticks, which for example is very useful when you want to allow longer names for unit tests.

Ktlint Disallowed

// Assume that the last allowed character is
// at the X character on the right           X
// Lines below are accepted although the max
// line length is exceeded.
package com.toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.long
import com.tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.long
val foo =
    """
    fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
    """
@Test
fun `Test description which is toooooooooooo long`() {
}

// Assume that the last allowed character is
// at the X character on the right           X
val fooooooooooooooo = "fooooooooooooooooooooo"
val foooooooooooooo = "foooooooooooooooooooo" // some comment

Ktlint Disallowed

val foo = "$foo hello"

Rule id: string-template (standard rule set)

Trailing comma on call site¶

Consistent removal (default) or adding of trailing commas on call site.

Important

KtLint uses the IntelliJ IDEA .editorconfig property ij_kotlin_allow_trailing_comma_on_call_site to configure the rule. When this property is enabled, KtLint enforces the usage of the trailing comma at call site while IntelliJ IDEA default formatter only allows to use the trailing comma but leaves it to the developer's discretion to actually use it (or not). KtLint values consistent formatting more than a per-situation decision.

Ktlint Disallowed

FooWrapper(
    Foo(
        a = 3,
        b = 4,
    ),
)

FooWrapper(Foo(
    a = 3,
    b = 4,
),) // it's weird to insert "," between unwrapped (continued) parenthesis

Note

In KtLint 0.48.x the default value for using the trailing comma on call site has been changed to true except when codestyle android is used.

Although the Kotlin coding conventions leaves it to the developer's discretion to use trailing commas on the call site, it also states that usage of trailing commas has several benefits:

It makes version-control diffs cleaner – as all the focus is on the changed value.
It makes it easy to add and reorder elements – there is no need to add or delete the comma if you manipulate elements.
It simplifies code generation, for example, for object initializers. The last element can also have a comma.

Note

Trailing comma on call site is automatically disabled if the Wrapping rule (or, before version 0.45.0, the Indentation rule) is disabled or not loaded. Because it cannot provide proper formatting with unwrapped calls. (see dependencies).

Rule id: trailing-comma-on-call-site (standard rule set)

Trailing comma on declaration site¶

Consistent removal (default) or adding of trailing commas on declaration site.

Important

KtLint uses the IntelliJ IDEA .editorconfig property ij_kotlin_allow_trailing_comma to configure the rule. When this property is enabled, KtLint enforces the usage of the trailing comma at declaration site while IntelliJ IDEA default formatter only allows to use the trailing comma but leaves it to the developer's discretion to actually use it (or not). KtLint values consistent formatting more than a per-situation decision.

Ktlint Disallowed

class FooWrapper(
    val foo = Foo(
        a = 3,
        b = 4,
    ),
)

class FooWrapper(val foo = Foo(
    a = 3,
    b = 4,
),) // it's weird to insert "," between unwrapped (continued) parenthesis

Note

In KtLint 0.48.x the default value for using the trailing comma on declaration site has been changed to true except when codestyle android is used.

The Kotlin coding conventions encourages the usage of trailing commas on the declaration site, but leaves it to the developer's discretion to use trailing commas on the call site. But next to this, it also states that usage of trailing commas has several benefits:

It makes version-control diffs cleaner – as all the focus is on the changed value.
It makes it easy to add and reorder elements – there is no need to add or delete the comma if you manipulate elements.
It simplifies code generation, for example, for object initializers. The last element can also have a comma.

Note

Trailing comma on declaration site is automatically disabled if the Wrapping rule (or, before version 0.45.0, the Indentation rule) is disabled or not loaded. Because it cannot provide proper formatting with unwrapped declarations. (see dependencies).

Rule id: trailing-comma-on-declaration-site (standard rule set)

Unnecessary parenthesis before trailing lambda¶

An empty parentheses block before a lambda is redundant.

Ktlint Disallowed

"some-string".count { it == '-' }

"some-string".count() { it == '-' }

Rule id: unnecessary-parentheses-before-trailing-lambda (standard rule set)

Wrapping¶

Inserts missing newlines (for example between parentheses of a multi-line function call).

Ktlint Disallowed

    a,
    b,
    c
)

val x = f(
    a,
