# clang-format-checker-docker

Docker image verifying the code format with clang-format

## Getting Started

The following command will mount the current working directory folder to the `src` working directory, and check its format

`docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/src witekio/clang-format-checker`

The return code will be
* `non-zero` if any formatting errors are found, and printed in the standard output.
* `0` if no issue was found

```
$ docker run -v $(pwd):/src --rm witekio/clang-format-checker                                      2 ↵

## Changing the style

The style used by `clang-format` can be defined by providing a `.clang-format` file in your source folder. For more information, see [clang-format style options](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.html)

## Specify the files to check

Check recursively .h/.cpp files excluding `vendors` folder

`docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/src witekio/clang-format-checker "--extensions=h,cpp --exclude vendors"`
