## Overview
]]#
[Rustfmt][rustfmt] is a tool for formatting Rust code according to style guidelines.
By default, Rustfmt uses a style which conforms to the [Rust style guide][rsg] that
has been formalized through the [style RFC process][rfcp]. A complete list of all
configuration options can be found in the [Rustfmt GitHub Pages][rgp].
#[[
### Setup
]]#
Formatting your Rust targets' source code requires no setup outside of loading `rules_rust`
in your workspace. Simply run `bazel run @rules_rust//:rustfmt` to format source code.
In addition to this formatter, a check can be added to your build phase using the [rustfmt_aspect](#rustfmt-aspect)
aspect. Simply add the following to a `.bazelrc` file to enable this check.
```text
build --aspects=@rules_rust//rust:defs.bzl%rustfmt_aspect
build --output_groups=+rustfmt_checks
```
It's recommended to only enable this aspect in your CI environment so formatting issues do not
impact user's ability to rapidly iterate on changes.
The `rustfmt_aspect` also uses a `--@rules_rust//:rustfmt.toml` setting which determines the
[configuration file][rgp] used by the formatter (`@rules_rust//tools/rustfmt`) and the aspect
(`rustfmt_aspect`). This flag can be added to your `.bazelrc` file to ensure a consistent config
file is used whenever `rustfmt` is run:
```text
build --@rules_rust//:rustfmt.toml=//:rustfmt.toml
```
