Style Request - More whitespace for json blobs with nested dicts about blue HOT 6 OPEN

I personally think getting formatting like this right 100% of the time is impossible. I suggest adding explicit skip comments to prevent reformatting those lines.

Although, come to think about it, it might be interesting to implement something like # fmt: black and #fmt: blue markers to defer formatting certain sections to black's preferences.

Yeah that's fair - especially given the number of permutations here. The explicit skip helps me in this instance, thank you.

I like the idea of # fmt: black/blue but what about including a config option for json: black/blue - default blue. That way all json blobs in the codebase are formatted consistently without needing to comment them all.

I guess the problem with that is that blue (or black AFAIK) doesn't really semantically know that this is JSON. It just looks like a function call with an argument set to a dictionary.

Yeah good point - instead of json, maybe a dict: blue/black option?

Are you on the most recent version of black? I’m guessing there’s something different about the trailing comma handling. Notice that the “type” field doesn’t have a trailing comma in the first post.

That's a good eye, the code was originally formatted using black v 20.8b1
