Can we have public quoted_to_algebra?

[Serge Smetana]

Hello,

We have Code.Formatter.to_algebra(string, opts) used by Code.format_string!

Can we also have Code.Formatter.quoted_to_algebra(quoted, opts)?

I am looking the way to format quoted with heredoc metadata as heredoc.

Currently, there is no way to do it because we cannot format quoted

and Macro.to_string() does not output heredocs.

{:__block__, [format: :bin_heredoc, line: 1], ["foo\nbar\n"]}

|> Macro.to_string()

# => "\"foo\\nbar\\n\""

You can do it only with block_to_algebra which is private in Code.Formatter.

If we could have public quoted_to_algebra this could be possible.

Thanks,

Serge

All of the Code.Formatter is private API. There is no guarantee we will keep API compatibility in future versions.

We have no plans to expose it because the formatter works on a specially annotated and private version of the AST.
