Hi All, I would like to propose the ability to format embedded elixir expressions inside of files / sigils being formatted by a formatter plugin.
*Situation at the Moment* Formatter Plugins that format files which contain elixir expressions inside do not currently have a way to call the formatter again on the nested expression. *Example Usage* When using both surface <https://github.com/surface-ui/surface_formatter> and cldr_messages <https://github.com/elixir-cldr/cldr_messages>, one could write a file like this: <div> {gettext(~M"It's my cat's {year, selectordinal, one {#st} two {#nd} few {#rd} other {#th}} birthday!")} </div> The HTML should be formatted by the surface formatter, the M sigil by the cldr messages formatter. Since the surface formatter is currently using Code.format_string!/2, the cldr formatter is not applied. Reported to surface formatter as a bug here: https://github.com/surface-ui/surface_formatter/issues/60 I expect to see similar questions in formatter plugins like heex_formatter <https://github.com/feliperenan/heex_formatter>. *Possible Solution* It would be nice if there was an API, that would allow passing embedded elixir expressions back into the formatter. One way to achieve that, would be to pass a function to Mix.Tasks.Format.format/2 into opts.
